Elemental Expressionist Rules Text & Legality
Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, choose target creature you control. Until end of turn, it gains "If this creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else" and "When this creature is put into exile, create a 4/4 blue and red Elemental creature token." (Each instance of that ability triggers separately.)
Elemental Expressionist is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.

Elemental Expressionist Rulings
- Apr 16, 2021
Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
- Apr 16, 2021
For example, if you control Archmage Emeritus and cast an instant or sorcery spell, Archmage Emeritus's magecraft ability will trigger and you will draw a card.
- Apr 16, 2021
If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
- Apr 16, 2021
If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.
- Apr 16, 2021
Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies do not cause magecraft abilities to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause magecraft abilities to trigger.
