Mica, Reader of Ruins Rulings

  • Mar 20, 2026

    Any choices made when the spell resolves won't have been made yet when it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately when the copy resolves.

  • Mar 20, 2026

    If a spell with a converge ability is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so the number of colors of mana spent to cast the spell will be zero. The number of colors spent to cast the original spell is not copied.

  • Mar 20, 2026

    If the copied spell divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.

  • Mar 20, 2026

    If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.

  • Mar 20, 2026

    If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
