What it does

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

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-09-01

    If you control two Parallel Lives, 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.

  • 2023-09-01

    Everything that is specified by the effect creating the original token or tokens will also be true about the additional token or tokens created by Parallel Lives's replacement effect. For example, if an effect tells you to create a token "tapped and attacking," the additional tokens will also be tapped and attacking.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Parallel Lives

6 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Parallel Lives — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
