So you've got a tough boss fight coming up, have you? Ah, that's a problem. Can't you do enough damage to take him out fast enough? You might be a little bit dead then. Wait, what's that? You've got a Rod of Rulership? And a Mirror of Opposition? What's your problem, then? Get your BSF to go stand in front of the mirror, and prepare to Rule the doppelganger that comes out! Assuming your BSF has less than 12 intelligence, the doppelganger won't even get a save! Now you get twice the amount of damage dealing goodness.

"Still, if the wielder gives a command that is contrary to the nature of the creatures commanded, the magic is broken."

Given that the nature of the duplicate is a creature magically created specifically to kill your BSF, any command that would interfere with that purpose would be contrary to its nature.
