Mentor's Guidance

Sorcery

I like the idea here. I think this deck could use some drawpower to help dig for stitcher and relevant spells. Faithful Mending and Opt both seem like good inclusions/replacements for Mentor's Guidance/Curate.

Mentor's Guidance wouldn't copy that much. It makes a copy when you cast it, and only once. If you have one of the requisite creatures, you'll make a copy of Mentor's Guidance when you cast it. Then you can cast Lutri and make another copy of it, but neither of the copies will re-copy for having the right creature out. You'll just end up with three copies.

Beamsplitter Mage + Show of Confidence won't work quite how you're thinking either. Again, it's a "when you cast" trigger, so it'll only make copies once. Again, copying a spell isn't the same thing as casting a spell, so if Show of Confidence were your second instant/sorcerey spell, you'd cast it targeting Beamsplitter Mage, copy it from its cast ability, copy it with Beamsplitter Mage, and end up with three copies of the spell. Even if you targeted the copy from its cast ability on Beamsplitter Mage, it wouldn't trigger the Mage again because you didn't cast a spell targeting it.

The main thing to keep in mind is this: copies aren't cast, unless the effect explicitly says "you may cast the copy." Copies of Mentor's Guidance and Show of Confidence will only trigger to make copies when you cast them, not when you copy them (otherwise they'd just go infinite by themselves).

I'm talking about Lutri as a companion. Wouldn't Mentor's Guidance copy to make 4 of them? That would be a great drawing engine. And would Show of Confidence and Beamsplitter Mage work infinitely?

Lutri doesn't really affect anything if he is already on the battlefield. He must enter the battlefield to trigger his ETB.

Show of Confidence and Mentor's Guidance make copies of themselves, but these copies are not cast. They are not one card combos by themselves. The only thing Lutri can do is make 1 additional copy.

Doublecast and Teach by Example copy the next card cast. Casting one and then the other will copy the second one cast (the copies still are not cast) Making the NEXT instant/sorcery get copied twice. Lutri can copy either of the spells, allowing for the next instant/sorcery cast after the two copy spells to be copied a total of three times.

If you cast Release to the Wind targeting a different creature and then cast Lutri you will be able to infinitely exile and then cast Lutri. You will need a third piece to generate advantage from this interaction.

Are these combos true with Lutri on the field?

Show of Confidence is a one card infinite combo.

Doublecast and Teach by Example used on each other with another card with Lutri is an infinite combo.

Release to the Wind is a one card infinite combo.

Mentor's Guidance is a one card infinite combo.
