wotc4 Oct 2004
Everything about the original spell is copied, including any decisions made on announcement, such as whether it was kicked or its Buyback cost was paid. Effects on the spell, such as Sleight of Mind or Flashback, are not copied.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It triggers once per spell, so you can’t get multiple copies of a spell using this card. And since this card is legendary, you can’t control more than one.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If the spell is countered before the triggered ability resolves, then the ability will make a copy of how the spell looked right before it was countered.
wotc4 Oct 2004
You choose whether or not to pay when the triggered ability resolves.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If the copied spell requires a target and there are no legal targets, then the copy has the same target (which should be illegal) as the original.
wotc4 Oct 2004
The copy is not “cast” so it will not trigger anything that triggers on a spell being cast.
