A little combo problem

Commander (EDH) forum

Maybe this does not fit into this category, but I recently played a game of EDH with my Jodah deck, and attempted to clone Extinction Event. I know about that when you clone thing like Cryptic Command you can't choose new modes, but if you look at those mode choosing cards, they are like this:

Choose one or more:

-1

-2

-3

The options are in 'notes' under the text of the card. However... With Extinction event it's not like this. So I am curious if there is any exception for cards that are worded like Extinction event.

On Gatherer you can clearly see in the rules that the choice is made when EE resolves. When you copy it, it hasn't resolved yet, therefore you can choose something different each time.

This kind of question probably belongs in the 'Rules Q&A' section, which you can find on the top of the TO website.
