If I have {mirror gallery} out, and a {dark depths} if I copy it with {thespians stage} it would have zero counters on it giving me marit lage right away... In which case; New deck list
4x {mirror gallery}
4x {dark depths}
4x {thespians stage}
8x {swamps}
8x {plains}
6x {forest}
4x {vampire hexmage}
4x {sun Titan}
4x {trostani selesneyas voice}
4x {ready//willing}
4x {primeval Titan}
2x {Increasing ambition}
2x {diabolical revelation}
2x {glissa the traitor}
You are correct! The counters would not be copied. That's evil...

Maybe add a few {Vesuva}'s and some bounce lands if you have to play it early
Omg Kirby, that is beautiful my friend. Thank you for showing me this!

As much as I'd like to take credit, it was my 10 year old brother, and when he told me I just about pooped all over, I was shocked
Throw a few {Scapeshift} in your deck
Speeds up process :)
Vesuva does nothing cause it enters with counters when you copy dark dephts.
Would the combo work too if no {Mirror Gallery} is in play.

I don't believe so, I think the legend rule would act first, before you have a chance to sac it.

Yep! The "legend rule" is considered a state based action, and as such does not use the stack. You would not have time to respond to it.
If you have a a marit lage, chances are you dont need anothee marit lage. If you do well.. Youre doing magic wrong
But {dark depths}' last ability is a state based trigger as well. According to the layer based resolve, which would trigger first (we need blackjester...). I think legend rule is applied before state based triggers, but I could be wrong.

I got this ;)
Dark Depths isn't quite a state based action:
7/15/2006: Dark Depths's last ability is a state trigger. It will not trigger again while the ability is on the stack, but if the ability is countered and Dark Depths is still on the battlefield with no ice counters on it, it will trigger again immediately.
It's trigger goes off, and wants you to sac it. State based actions will go off and send it to the grave before the trigger is able to resolve, and the triggers will do nothing, as their condition is unable to be met (the condition being sacrificing).

You can't copy counters on a perment vesuva would enter with no counters then get sacrificed for the token
Vesuva would ENTER the battlefield as a copy. Which means it would have the "enters the battlefield with 10 counters" effect.
Just FYI, I would throw in some populate cards like {druid's deliverance} to make copy's of that token
[/quote]
The token is a legendary token, like the Kaldra token, so without the mirror, it wouldn't work.
Wouldn't {Thespian's Stage} still retain its name after the copy thus ignoring the legendary ruling?
No as it does not retain its name. It's says it becomes a copy and gains this ability. The legend rule axes any attempt to have two of any legend In play simultaneously.
