wotc8 Nov 2024
You choose the creature to teach as Pyromancy 101 resolves. The teach ability doesn’t target that creature.

For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
wotc8 Nov 2024
Pyromancy 101 is exiled taught to the chosen creature as part of that spell’s resolution, just after its other effects. It goes directly from the stack to exile. It never goes to the graveyard.
wotc8 Nov 2024
If Pyromancy 101 is countered or otherwise fails to resolve (probably because the target became illegal), none of its effects will happen, including teach. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be exiled.
wotc8 Nov 2024
The copy of Pyromancy 101 created by the granted activated ability is created and cast from exile. You cast that copy during the resolution of the activated ability. Ignore timing restrictions based on its type.
wotc8 Nov 2024
If you control any creatures as Pyromancy 101 resolves, you must exile it taught to one of those creatures. You can’t choose not to teach it. If you don’t control any creatures as the spell resolves, instead Pyromancy 101 is exiled but taught to nobody.
