2XM #124
Viewing
Players keep getting Dualcaster Mage wrong in the same way: they treat it like a copy effect for whatever is on the battlefield. It copies a spell on the stack, and only an instant or sorcery. That one distinction is why the Mage is both a combo piece and a trap for anyone building around it half-informed.

The take
Dualcaster Mage is a combo enabler, not a value creature, and you should build it like one or leave it in the binder.
EDHRec rank 682 at about $3.74
Plays well with
-
Molten Duplication
Copy the spell with the Mage and you get a loop that produces more tokens, building toward a lethal army.
-
Saw in Half
Cast it on a creature, flash in the Mage in response, and the copy turns a simple removal spell into the start of a combo.
-
Twinflame
Copying Twinflame with the Mage keeps the loop going and gives you hasty creatures with each pass.

Dualcaster Mage Rulings
- Jun 8, 2016
As Dualcaster Mage's triggered ability resolves, it creates a copy of a spell on the stack. The copy isn't cast, so abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
- Jun 8, 2016
Dualcaster Mage's triggered ability can target (and copy) any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets. It doesn't matter who controls it.
- Jun 8, 2016
If the copy says that it affects "you," it affects the controller of the copy, not the controller of the original spell. Similarly, if the copy says that it affects an "opponent," it affects an opponent of the copy's controller, not an opponent of the original spell's controller.
- Jun 8, 2016
If the spell has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Earthquake does), the copy has the same value of X.
- Jun 8, 2016
If the spell is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can't choose a different one.
