Errata on Dance of Many:
When Dance of Many enters the battlefield, put a token that's a copy of target nontoken creature onto the battlefield.

When Dance of Many leaves the battlefield, exile the token.

When the token leaves the battlefield, sacrifice Dance of Many.

At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Dance of Many unless you pay UU.

With Opalescence, Dance of Many itself is a nontoken creature, so when it enters, target itself with its copy ability. This in turn will make another Dance of Many. Target the original with this one's trigger as well, and so on.

What you choose to do with an infinite army of 2/2 enchantment creatures is up to you.

You must have haste if you wish to use this army, however, as you need to pay UU for each of them during your upkeep.

I don't think that this works.
10/4/2004: The ability is targeted and checks the validity of the target when put on the stack and when resolving. If the creature is not still there when the copy ability resolves, the ability is countered and no token is put onto the battlefield. This card remains on the battlefield as an enchantment with no token.

"...and checks the validity of the target when put on the stack ..."

So how can I cast the Dance of many if there is no dance of many (without a token) already in play?

So I Need an additional Dance of many and a creature like Blood Pet to set up the preconditions: Dance of many with no token on the battlefield.

The ability is targeted, but the it's a triggered ability when it enters the battlefield, like Oblivion Ring. Its not an aura that has to be targeted at casting.

Thx, I think I confused stacking the DoM spell with stacking the triggered ability.

have also been helpfull. Eon Hub seems to fit keeping it wu. Red as additional Color opens the mind for Pandemonium or Goblin Bombardment.
Sac engines like altars are also instant kill.
