Posted from Gen Con Indy on Facebook as a deck building contest from Pastimes. The video details the contest, and the card shows up at 1:09...
Doubling Chant 5G
Sorcery
For each creature you control, you may search your library for a creature card with the same name as that creature. Put those cards onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
However, in today's culture of Justin Bieber, Jersey Shore, and Twilight, where every song on the radio, every program on television and every site on the internet is just another monument to the pinnacle of human stupidity, it's certainly not the worst thing that people could be watching.
Look at me! I can bold words and use CAPSLOCK to emphasize my point! Hopefully I can trick people into ignoring that I completely have no evidence in my post to back up my claims if I make it look fancy enough.
This seems way, way better than Clarion Ultimatum. I can't think of too many non-creature permanents you'd want to be doubling to justify the much greater mana cost.
By my count, fourth card in the set featuring a bunch of animals running at the viewer. Creative!
Anyways, great find. First impression is that the card isn't very good, but it has a powerful enough ability that it may surprise me. The key is not to win-more by doubling a Titan, but to create value by doubling ETB guys like Simulacrum or guys that get better in multiples (Elvish Archdruid).
Isn't there a cycle of cards that lets you discard a card to get an effect? The cycle is creatures that have something like: Tap, discard a card, G: put a creature token named llanowar elves into play. It has Tap: G.

Some facts of magic:
-Terror is an emotion which, when experienced, results in death.
-The pox was a disease notorious for having killed one-third, rounded up, of Europe’s population. Smallpox, on the other hand, killed only a single person.
-A person riding a horse cannot be stopped by foot soldiers, large animals, walls, archers, or even catapults.
Good card, but without any creatures on the field its useless. I fear there's not much stopping your opponent from doomblading your titan on the field in response.
But it's a nice card, and it's flavorful. Personally I think it should have costed five mana instead or something.
Ehhh, feels like in most situations it's going to be:
Not helpful enough for the cost. If you use this with 3 weenies on the board, you now have 3 more weenies for 6 mana. Not the most efficient.
or
Stupid overkill. If you use it late-game, you'll be dropping copies of 2-3 fatties plus all of your lil weenies onto the board in a situation where you already won.
....now if only there was a way to abuse it with Relentless Rats..

Any other (non-copy) tokens that can be used to fetch cards?

If elves have weenies that means they have mana to spare.
And since when is overkill bad at 6 mana? That's legitimate finisher spell cost.
