Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
wotc16 Apr 2021
If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
wotc16 Apr 2021
If the instant or sorcery spell has {X} in its mana cost, X is the value chosen for X as the spell was cast.
wotc16 Apr 2021
"That spell's mana value" refers to the spell that caused the ability to trigger, not the card you look at when you scry.
wotc16 Apr 2021
For example, if you control Archmage Emeritus and cast an instant or sorcery spell, Archmage Emeritus's magecraft ability will trigger and you will draw a card.
wotc16 Apr 2021
If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.
