If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect. - 2021-04-16 · Wizards of the Coast
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. - 2021-04-16 · Wizards of the Coast
If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger. - 2021-04-16 · Wizards of the Coast
