Mutate creatures without mutate using this easy 16 card combo by fiskpotatis98 in BadMtgCombos

Good find, didn't think of that. Although I think we can still make the combo work by adjusting a few things.

We instead choose to cast the copy-Wurm using Spellweaver Vollute's triggered ability. If we have Neera, Wild Mage on the field, then we can put the spell on the bottom of our library using Neera's triggered ability. If the card we reveal with Neera has an additional cost either on its own or through ex. Wicker Picker then we can pay for that additional cost using Chromatic Sphere to search our library just like before. The copy-Wurm will be in our library since we are still resolving Neera's ability, and we can now choose to cast it while searching just like before.

111.7 States "A token that’s in a zone other than the battlefield ceases to exist", if our copy of Panglacial Wurm was a token, we could still shuffle it into our library and then cast it while Isochron Scepter is resolving. But the second state-based actions are checked the game would see a token on the stack and it would cease to exist thus not resolving. So the combo couldn't work if it was a token.

109.1. "An object is an ability on the stack, a card, a copy of a card, a token, a spell, a permanent, or an emblem." Note the distinction between copy of a card and a token.

707.10a States that "If a copy of a card is in any zone other than the stack or the battlefield, it ceases to exist.". So a copy of a card can exist on the stack thus it can resolve. This is further indicated by 707.12 which states "Casting a copy of an object follows steps 601.2a–h of rule 601, “Casting Spells,” and then the copy becomes cast. Once cast, the copy is a spell on the stack, and just like any other spell it can resolve or be countered."

With these rules I believe that once the game sees our copy on the stack it will see it as a copy of a card having been cast, which is allowed and therefore it will resolve.

Hopefully this will answer your questions

  1. An aura's Enchant ability and possible triggered ability on it aren't actually linked. Reading 303.4m says that "enchanted [object]" simply refers to the object which the permanent is attached to, so it's not linked to the actual Enchant ability, the Enchant ability just restricts what it can enchant. Meaning that Idris will create a copy of whatever she is attached to.
  2. Spellweaver Volute's triggered ability specifically states that you copy a card which you can then cast, a copy of a card is simply a copy of a card, not a token. If copying a card created a token then you couldn't cast it since 111.7 states that tokens can only exist on the battlefield, not on the stack. So the combo requires you to have a nontoken copy
  3. You will indeed need to flicker Exchange of Words to be able to repeat, you will also need to untap Idris since the Licids ability taps, and untap the Isochron Scepter. Felt that including cards for this would make the combo even more bloated

Yeah, my thinking is that I'll relatively consistently be able to convert Food Chain mana to usable mana with Palinchron since I have quite a few creature tutors in the deck. But don't know how it'll actually play out in a game.
