Gameplay and rules
Sorcery
Casualty 2 (As you cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power 2 or greater. When you do, copy this spell.)
Each opponent exiles the top card of their library. You may cast spells from among those cards this turn. If you cast a spell this way, pay life equal to that spell's mana value rather than pay its mana cost.

If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.
wotc29 Apr 2022
You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.
wotc29 Apr 2022
If you cast a spell for another cost “rather than pay its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs such as a blitz cost. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as a casualty cost. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.
wotc29 Apr 2022
If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.”

The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
