doppelganger and Voodoo doll question?

[Addman]

1) Doppelganger copy's Reconnect spell from the voodoo Doll.
2) Doppelganger casts Reconnect.
Reconnect says: Target model is now affected by Conduit. Do I need to have the Doppelganger, have the Ability Conduit for the Voodoo doll or would the Target model be affected by Conduit because the Voodoo doll has it?

Question 2:
The Doppelganger's Ability, Mimic says: "This lasts until the End Closing Phase"

The Voodoo doll's Ability Conduit says: "The nominated model suffers Poison 2 at the end of the Closing Phase"

Would the target model suffers Poison 2?

This was brought up in the Doppelganger thread, but all you need to do is copy Reconnect and cast it. Since Conduit specifies how long it lasts, the model you target with Reconnect will remain affected until you cast it again. That also means that it will keep getting Poison 2 every End Closing Phase. It is dirty, but totally legit.

And it allows you to use mimic twice every turn afterwards on something else:P

If you conduit to the same model the voodoo doll is connected to, does the model suffer poison 2 twice? Does poison 2 from 2 different sources = 4 points of damage or 2?

[Boshea]

Poison doesn't stack. When hit with poison you increase your poison tokens to the number on the poison ability. So two instances of Poison 2 results in only two poison tokens.

but wouldn't the Doppelganger have to copy Conduit as well?

So, another query, as I am interested. If the Doppelganger casts Reconnect on a model unaffected by the Voodoo Doll's Reconnect, are there now two models which are affected by Conduit?

if you mean the Doppelganger casting Reconnect on one model and then trying to cast it on another model. I think it would lose the first model the Doppelganger cast Reconnect on because Conduit says that it "this remains in effect on this model until it is removed from play or it cast Reconnect."

No, Reconnect is a spell that causes a target to be affected by "Conduit".

The effect "Conduit" has a defined duration specified by the effect itself as printed on the Voodoo Doll card (until the Voodoo Doll is removed from play or casts Reconnect.)

Doppelganger
Mimic: Target a model within 8” and LoS and chooses 1
effect. This lasts until the End Closing Phase. Effects that
reference a model by name cannot be Mimicked.

voodoo doll's conduit:

Nominate a non-Master enemy model in
Zoraida’s LoS when this model is summoned. As long as
this model is within 1” of Zoraida, she ignores LoS and
range when targeting the nominated model with a
spell. Her Casting and spell Damage Flips receive +
when targeting the nominated model. The nominated
model suffers Poison 2 at the end of the Closing Phase.
This remains in effect on this model until it is removed
from play or it casts Reconnect.

references a model by name. cant be mimicked. might not be the model it copying but the effect clearly says Zoriada.

But you can Copy Reconnect. that is fine ofc
