Commander is the hottest, most widely played format out there (outside of limited drafts & sealed events). Being that I'm huuuuuge into Commander, I would like to know how to get the most out of the DFC Dean's.
So what are some the most efficient ways to get both Dean's in play?
The easiest way I can think of is play one side, make a copy of it. The OG side dies and goes back to the Command Zone to be recast. But that can get expensive quickly.
So are there other ways to do it more efficiently w/o having a side get destroyed? Bouncing? Blinking?
Can you flip it somehow in response to "seeing itself" triggering the Legendary rule? Or is Mirror Gallery and other ways to turn off the Legendary Rule more effective?

Play the back side... Clone the back side... let the commander go to the graveyard, copy the card in the yard (mimic vat, back from the brink, seance, etc)

(U/B) is :symbu: or :symub: and the same is true for the other 9 hybrid symbols with their two colors in for the last 2 leters of the code. ((2/B) and co are :sym2b:)
Alternatively {UB} or {2B} in [mana] tags are (U/B) or (2/B) T is :symtap: and T will give T in [mana] tags

Play a Dean on the back side, attack with Identity Thief (which turns into a copy of the back side). At the beginning of the end step the Dean will come back into play on its front side and you will control both sides... (the identity thief will shortly revert to an identity thief but you didn't specify how long you wanted to control both sides)

Indeed!
Dimir has the best options in my opinion...

Sublime Epiphany or Supplant form can do it too...
