Anointed Procession

Enchantment

LegalRank #354

If an effect would create one or more tokens under your control, it creates twice that many of those tokens instead.

Why is this card good?

Anointed Procession is white's premier token doubler, the functional twin of Parallel Lives and Doubling Season's token half. At four mana it does nothing on its own — it's a build-around payoff, not a standalone card — but in the right shell it snowballs hard. This is an auto-include in dedicated token decks. Go-wide commanders like Adeline, Krenko (in Boros/Mardu shells), Ghave, Trostani, and treasure/clue/food producers all want it. It doubles everything: creature tokens, Treasures, blood, even copies. Two of these stack multiplicatively, quadrupling your output — genuinely backbreaking with aristocrats (Bitterblossom + sac payoffs) or anthem-driven swarms. When not to play it: any deck not actively generating tokens. It's a do-nothing if your token production is incidental — you need real density of token-makers to justify the slot. It also doesn't protect you; on an empty board it's a dead draw, so don't run it in midrange piles hoping it'll "find synergy" later. Commit to tokens, or skip it.

There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

All of the tokens enter the battlefield simultaneously. They’ll be created with the same name, color, type and subtype, abilities, power, toughness, and so on.
2017-04-18
If the token you create has any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities, first determine how many tokens are being created, then apply those abilities individually for each one. For example, if a token with “You may have [this permanent] enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield” would be created (such as an embalmed Vizier of Many Faces), the resulting two tokens can each copy a different creature.
2017-04-18
If an effect creates more than one kind of token, it’ll create twice as many of each kind. For example, if you cast Bestial Menace while controlling Anointed Procession, you’ll create two Snake tokens, two Wolf tokens, and two Elephant tokens.
2017-04-18
If you control two Anointed Processions, then the number of tokens created is four times the original number. If you control three, then the number of tokens created is eight times the original number, and so on.
2017-04-18
If the effect creating the tokens instructs you to do something with those tokens at a later time, like exiling them at the end of combat, you’ll do that for all the tokens.
