Transforming Flourish

You choose whether to make a copy as the demonstrate ability resolves. This happens before the original spell resolves. Your copy goes on the stack above the original spell.

If the destroyed permanent’s controller chooses to cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost, they can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. They can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

If you cast a spell with demonstrate and both you and an opponent copy it, the opponent’s copy will resolve first, then your copy will resolve, and finally the original spell will resolve.

If the exiled card has {X} in its mana cost, the destroyed permanent’s controller must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If you copy a spell with demonstrate, you then immediately choose an opponent. If they copy the spell, it goes on top of the stack.

If you cast the spell and choose not to copy it, no opponent will get to copy it either.
