Can i counter a spell before it is copied

What happens if i try to counter a spell cast after an Doublecast, example, my opponent cast Doublecast which resolves and right after casts Peer into the Abyss, can i counter the Peer into the Abyss before the copy is made???.

Doublecast works very well in burn, and it stacks!

fuzzyhorns so Bloodchief Ascension and mincrank are alright but actually dilute from the main theme of the deck. Put in Tainted Strike, the newly reprinted Imperial Seal, Howling Mine, and Glistening Oil before the combo above. Nekusar really doesn't need technical combos. He just straight up wins. Give him infect and play a wheel and it's game especially if you can use Doublecast or Fork and duplicate the spell. Not that hard to tutor up and do with Grixis control. Here's one of my Nekusar decks:https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/nekusar-grixis-control-edh-7/

I'm going to add Imperial Seal This one is nasty. My playgroup hates it.

A fusion of Gut Shot, Doublecast and the ICOnIC Lightning Bolt!

Make a card that's a fusion of multiple, already existing, cards!

Haha, forneyt I finally succumbed to your strong and amazing wisdom (i'm not being sarcasti) and did the deck like you originally said I should, haha! Now it's a boros deck, added 4x Lava Spike, 3x Gideon's Sacrifice, 3x Monastery Mentor and 4x Soulfire Grand Master and 2x Rip Apart. Removed the counterspells; I used them barely, and they didn't help much at all but to counter one thing while I could cast two one MV burn cards; just a way to slow down my game. Galvanic Iteration is OK, i could use something like Doublecast if I really wanted to. Also, since my manabase is boros, it's MUCH faster now! I removed Electrostatic Field as it's either a chump blocker or a card that hardly helps my game. Eidolon of the Great Revel and Soulfire Grand Master pair perfectly, and I played a game with Eidolon of the Great Revel without grand master and ohhh man is it good. Even though I didn't have the best deck possible before, when I played, I got the opponent down to at most 7 health in two games before I lost, and I even won one game.

Polaris on Countering Copied vs. Original Spells

Doublecast sets up a delayed triggered ability. The next time you cast an instant or sorcery that turn, it will trigger to make a copy, and since the trigger doesn't target, it will also use the last known information of a countered spell to make its copy.

It's less versatile than Reverberate, but plays better into countermagic because your opponent knows you're going to cast another spell, and they won't be able to fully stop what you're doing with a single counterspell no matter how they use it, unless that counterspell is something like Whirlwind Denial.

Thank you.

So if I'm understanding correctly, because the Reverberate has "target" in the text, it has to have a valid target upon resolving. By countering the original spell it's copying, you effectively counter both (the original and the copy).

However, an ability (activated or triggered) that doesn't specify "target" creates a copy of that spell anyway and puts that copy onto the stack. This copy is it's own instance and doesn't rely on a separate card resolving.

Which has me asking now, would Doublecast get treated the same way? Since it's not targeting a specific card, would the copy not fizzle if the card cast after Doublecast was countered?

LeonSpires on Glimpse of Tomorrow: Codie Combo $80 budget

@ GiveMeYourKidneys Cobie's text box says "Until end of turn, you may cast that card without paying its mana cost."

The card exiled with Codie is not cast immediately. Doublecast resolves before you get a chance to cast Glimpse of Tomorrow.

Furthermore Codie's page on Gatherer clarifies this in the 6th ruling from the top. To quote "The last card exiled is not cast immediately. You may cast it until the end of the current turn. If you do not cast it, that card will remain in exile."
