Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

A copy is created even if the spell that caused Sevinne's ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

If you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard before Sevinne enters the battlefield during the same turn, its last ability can't trigger that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

Sevinne's ability will copy any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

The copy that Sevinne's ability creates is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. Any of that spell's effects that apply only if it was cast from a graveyard won't apply.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. The new targets must be legal.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2019

You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too.
