Does doppelganger also copy one shot items played before it?

The title basically is the whole question, but I'll post an example for extra clarity. Say my combat power is +10 between my level and my equipment, and I play magic missile to give myself an additional +5, bringing my total to +15. If I were to then play doppelganger would it copy the effect of the magic missile as well and bring my total combat strength up to +30, or would it only copy my level and equipment and bring me to +25?

Here's how Doppelganger works.

1) Total up your combat strength.
2) Multiply by 2.
3) If your combat strength changes, return to step 1.

Don't overthink it.

My god... It continues to double one shot items after you play the doppelganger?!?!

It's an EXACT duplicate. If you change, it does too.

I read that, thought of alchemists, and wanted to throw up...

Picture an Alchemist with a Doppelganger, Second Chance Sparkles, and a Loaded Die...

Now imagine being that Alchemist :D
