Ian Chesterton
Oracle Text
Science Teacher — Each Saga spell you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you cast that Saga, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. Copies of Saga spells become tokens.)
Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Ian Chesterton feels like the practical lab instructor of your Saga deck: a 2/3 for {2}{W} that turns each Saga you cast into a scalable engine by giving them replicate equal to their mana cost, so your one-shot chapter effects become repeatable value. He best supports a value/combo shell that wants incremental advantage — copy tutors, token-producing chapters, and removal-trigger chapters multiple times — rather than pure aggro or tempo. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize cheap, high-impact Sagas and reliable ramp (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, white ramp like Knight of the White Orchid) so you can pay replicate repeatedly; include flicker or reanimation to reuse tokens and exploit multiple-enter triggers. In Commander he’s also explicitly designed to pair with the Doctor as a co-commander, letting you build a thematic two-headed Saga toolbox. Thematically it fits Ian’s scientific patience—multiplying lessons across the table—while mechanically converting each Saga into a repeatable, often comboable, value engine.
