Rulings (4)

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 · 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 · 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.
