Does activating isochron scepter count as casting the spell
Asked by Monomanamaniac 3 years ago
The question is, if I activate Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal on it, am I playing a copy of dramatic reversal, or am I casting it. Like specifically in the case of how cards likes Kykar, Wind's Fury or Ral, Storm Conduit would see the card

Thank you, that's what I thought and was hoping for. That really makes the scepter extremely powerful

You cast the copy with Isochron Scepter. Per its text:
You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
There are a few cards where you "cast the copy"--each and every one of those cards specifically use the terms "cast the copy" in their rules text.
So, since you are casting it, you will get a 1/1 white Spirit with Kykar and deal 1 damage with Ral. Note, you do the damage for Ral because you are casting the spell; not because you are copying it.
