Does copying a spell copy cast triggers?
No, copying a spell on the stack generally does not trigger "when you cast a spell" abilities because the copy is created directly on the stack, not "cast" from another zone like a hand or graveyard. However, if the copying effect explicitly says "you may cast the copy," then it triggers those abilities, as it's a specific instruction to cast.Does copying a spell trigger cast triggers?
A Spell-Copy is not Cast. It is simply put on the Stack. You do not get any additional Trigger for the Spell-Copy.Is copying considered casting?
No, in Magic: The Gathering (MTG), copying a spell does not count as casting it unless the effect specifically says, "you may cast the copy" (like Eye of the Storm or Arcane Bombardment), because the copy is put directly on the stack, bypassing normal casting steps and triggers like Storm, which only trigger on actual casting.Does copying a spell count as casting a second spell?
To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn't cast and a copy of an activated ability isn't activated.Does copying a spell trigger Rhystic study?
Asking as it pertains to rhystic study. No. Copying a spell doesn't cast it.Clones & Copy Effects Judge's Corner #69
What triggers Rhystic study?
Rhystic Study triggers when a spell is cast regardless of whether that spell resolves. It triggers as soon as the spell is cast, before anybody even has a chance to counter the spell. So yes that trigger is already on the stack, even if the spell gets countered.Do copied spells trigger y shtola?
Yes, a copy of a spell has the same mana value as the original. But, copying a spell is not casting a spell. Y'shtola does not trigger when you copy a spell on the stack.Does copying a spell count as casting for storm?
No, spell copies created by Storm are not cast; they are created directly on the stack, so they don't trigger other Storm abilities or count as spells cast for other effects like Magecraft. The original spell is cast, but the copies just appear, preventing infinite loops and keeping Storm balanced, unlike rare effects that explicitly say "you may cast the copy".Does Vivi trigger on copied spells?
Bombardment creates Card-Copies. Then, you can Cast those Card-Copies as Spells. So, all these Instant / Sorcery Spells being Cast will Trigger Vivi.Does a copied spell trigger prowess?
No, copying a spell usually does not trigger Prowess because Prowess triggers on casting a noncreature spell, and copies are created directly on the stack without being cast, but it will trigger if the effect that copies the spell explicitly says "you may cast the copy". The key is the word "cast"—if you're just creating a copy, no trigger; if you're casting the copy, Prowess activates.Does the Isochron scepter count as casting?
Yes - Sceptor creates the copy in exile and then you cast the spell from exile.Can I cast the same spell twice in 5e?
Yes, in D&D 5e, you can absolutely cast the same spell multiple times in a day as long as you have the spell slots, as preparing a spell doesn't remove it from your list of usable spells, allowing you to spend slots to cast it repeatedly, even upcasting it for more power if you have higher-level slots. The key is having available spell slots; you don't "use up" the prepared spell itself, just the slot.When you copy a spell, is it considered casting?
No, in Magic: The Gathering, copying a spell (putting a copy on the stack) is generally not the same as casting a spell, so it doesn't trigger "when you cast a spell" abilities like Storm or Prowess, unless the effect creating the copy specifically says "you may cast the copy". Copies go directly to the stack, skipping the casting process (paying costs, declaring targets, etc.).Does copying a spell count towards storm count?
No, copies of spells created by effects like Storm, Replicate, or other copy spells do not count towards the Storm count because they are put directly onto the stack and are not "cast", which is what Storm specifically cares about. The original spell with Storm counts as one cast, but the copies it creates don't trigger or add to the count for other Storm spells, preventing infinite loops and clearly separating "copying a spell" from "casting a spell".Do counterspells stop cast triggers?
Yes, in Magic: The Gathering, typical counterspells do not stop "when you cast" triggers because the trigger goes onto the stack before the spell resolves, and countering the spell doesn't remove abilities already on the stack; you need specific effects like Stifle or Summary Dismissal to counter the triggered ability itself. Casting a spell puts it on the stack, triggering "when you cast" effects like Cascade or Storm; these triggers resolve before the spell, so even if countered, the trigger still happens.Does copying a spell trigger cascade?
Cascade won't trigger if you put a copy of a spell with cascade on the stack (due to Cloven Casting or Twincast, for example). That's because you didn't cast the copy (such as with Isochron Scepter). Countering the original spell doesn't counter the cascade ability.Does copying a spell trigger guttersnipe?
No, copying a spell usually does not trigger Guttersnipe because copying puts a copy on the stack, but you must cast a spell for Guttersnipe's ability to trigger (dealing 2 damage). However, if the copy effect specifically says you get to cast the copy (like with Isochron Scepter or Cipher), then it will trigger Guttersnipe, but not with Reverberate or Storm.Does copying a spell count as creating a token?
A growing number of cards can copy permanent spells, which become tokens once the copy of the spell resolves. However, these copies are still spells until they leave the stack, and can therefore be countered, re-copied, or otherwise targeted just like other spells on the stack.What is the rule 701.27 A in Magic The Gathering?
701.27a To proliferate means to choose any number of permanents and/or players that have a counter, then give each one additional counter of each kind that permanent or player already has.Do copies trigger legendary rule?
What Happens? Yes, you can copy a legendary creature. But copies of permanents are also subject to the legend rule. If you copy your opponent's creature, everything's fine.What happens when you copy a spell in MTG?
When you copy a spell, you copy all aspects of that spell as well. A copy of an X spell will retain the same value for X. The same is true for kicked spells, entwined spells, etc.How does copying a spell work in MTG?
In Magic: The Gathering, copying a spell puts an exact duplicate on the stack, keeping all original choices (targets, X value, modes, kicked status), but it's not cast, so it doesn't trigger cast-based effects (like Storm) unless the copy effect says "you may cast the copy," and costs aren't paid (unless a residual cost like Kicker or Madness was paid on the original). If it's a creature spell, the copy becomes a token permanent on the battlefield.Does warping count as casting MTG?
Yes, Warp is a Magic: The Gathering mechanic from the Edge of Eternity set, acting as an alternative casting cost to play permanents (often creatures) from your hand for a discounted, temporary effect, exiling them afterward to be cast normally later, triggering cast abilities like Cascade. It's like a "free trial" for powerful spells, letting you use their enter-the-battlefield (ETB) effects cheaply, then giving you a chance to cast them for their full value from exile.Does Ulalek copy kickers?
Yes. If you pay for one or both of the Kickers Costs, Ulalek Copying the Ability will retain the fact that the original Spell was Kicked.
