Storm of Saruman

Enchantment4 generic manaBlue manaBlue mana

The spell-copy engine had lived on bodies and one-shots before this: creatures that copied the next cast, rituals that doubled a single spell. Turning it into a static enchantment changes the arithmetic. There is no combat step to survive, no summoning sickness, no tap requirement; once it resolves, every turn where you get two casts in hands you a free copy. The trigger is the part worth sitting with. It keys off the second spell of the turn, not the first, which imposes a deckbuilding tax you pay in sequencing: the opener is bait, the follow-up is the payoff, and a hand that can only muster one cast per turn gets nothing. That ordering discipline is what keeps a permanent doubler from being purely oppressive. The "except the copy isn't legendary" clause is a genuine design unlock rather than flavor text, since it lets you photocopy your own legendary bombs and dodge the legend rule on the resulting token. Ward 3 generic mana is the concession the color gets for building an engine at instant-avoidance: blue rarely wants to trade with the removal aimed at its enchantments, so the tax buys the piece a turn to matter. What lands is a doubler that asks for patience instead of a combo trigger, rewarding a build that chains two spells across a turn rather than one leaning on a fragile creature to carry the copy.
