A copy of a spell is owned by the player under whose control it was put on the stack. If an effect of the copy refers to objects used to pay its costs, it uses the objects used to pay the costs of the original spell or ability. (See rule 601, "Casting Spells.") Choices that are normally made on resolution are not copied. A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs. To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack a copy of a spell isn't cast and a copy of an activated ability isn't activated. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied. is turned face up" abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by its face-down status, and by "as. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object's characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). It's important to note which is which because a copy of a spell isn't cast, but a copy of a card is cast. There are effects like Isochron Scepter that have you create a copy of the exiled card in exile and then cast it if you want for (0). There is a distinction between copying a spell and copying a card. Also Flash and sufficient mana are irrelevant because they aren't casting it. They aren't casting it so it isn't possible for them to be unable to cast it. It would disappear after it resolved and went to their graveyard. The copy is created on the stack and once it resolves, it goes to the yard and ceases to exist once it arrives there.Ĥ) the opponent would put their copy above your copy which is above the original. There's no option to save it for later.Ģ) the copy isn't cast so you don't pay any costs for it, something like a copy of Fling will use the creature sacced as a cost to the original to determine the damage the copy dealsģ) you don't get a choice to use or not use a copied spell unless the effect says "you may copy" then you can just choose not to make it. Thanks!! :) <3 <3 <3ġ) The copy is made on the stack, you don't play or cast it and it will resolve ahead of the spell that it is copying. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Until recently we've just been assuming that we get a copy of the given card that we can use as if it were just an extra card in our hand (that we can save it for later and use it whenever), but the research I've done so far kind of indicates that that's not really the case. Pretty much my entire friend group plays with decks that involve copying pretty substantially, so we're all wondering if we're doing it right.
This is a lot, I know, but I would really appreciate any answers/assistance. Related to Question 3, for cards like Creative Technique, which have Demonstrate, would my opponent keep the demonstrated copy of the card, or would it disappear if they are unable to cast it? Similarly, would they be able to cast a copy of a card like Creative Technique (a sorcery) without Flash if they had sufficient mana? If I don't use a copied spell, does it vanish from the battlefield or go into my graveyard? Similarly, if I do use a copied spell, does the copy go into my graveyard after it's resolved and its effect occurs? If I copy a spell (namely an instant or sorcery, since that's primarily what gets copied in my deck), do I have to play the generated copy right then and there as it is copied, or can I save it for later use?ĭo I have to pay the copy's mana cost to use it, or does it automatically take effect when it is copied and/or my opponent doesn't counter it? I understand that copies of spells are created on the stack, but the nature of copied spells is still something I don't quite understand. I've recently gotten back into MTG after not playing for many years, and the deck I'm running now is based heavily around both instant and sorcery use and copying spells I cast the latter has caused me some confusion recently and I can't seem to find a straight answer to my specific questions, so I figured this would be a good place to ask.
