Does Pyromancer's Goggles copy ability work with flashback, entwine, kicker, madness, overload?

Asked by kmlee83 8 years ago

I understand that you can use the red mana for any casting cost or pay for any abilities. But, if it is used specifically for a red instant or sorcery spell with the additional costs or alternate cost, does it copy that spell?

Pyromancer's Goggles

Examples:
1. Flashback Firebolt
2. Entwine Barbed Lightning
3. Kicker Burst Lightning Comet Storm
4. Madness Fiery Temper
5. Overload Mizzium Mortars

Thanks.

So long as the mana you're using will be spent to cast the spell, the spell will be copied.

So your specific examples

  1. Yes. You're casting the spell from the graveyard, but still casting the spell.

  2. Your copied spell will have the same modes as the original. So if you cast Barbed Lightning with entwine your copy will have both modes

  3. If you paid the kicker costs (or any additional costs) for the original spell, your copy will do that as well. However, if you didn't use the kicker in the original spell, you can't pay additional costs for the copy either.

  4. Yes, it copies even under Madess, as you're still casting it.

  5. Yes, it will copy.

Any mana you use in order to cast the card is considered part of the cost and will copy the spell. This works with alternate and any additional costs as well. Note that you have to be casting the card and you have to pay some kind of cost (so you cannot double Pact of the Titan for example).

1/ Yes. The key thing here is that you are actually casting the card.

2/ Yes.

3/ Yes. Same as 2.

4/ Yes, same as 1.

5/ Yes, same as 1 and 4.
