What it does
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, put a time counter on this artifact. Then if there are seven or more time counters on it, remove those counters and it deals 20 damage to you.
T: When you next cast an instant or sorcery spell this turn, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Rulings
5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2024-09-20
If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy will have the same value of X.
- 2024-09-20
The copy created by Cursed Recording's last ability 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.
- 2024-09-20
The copy made by Cursed Recording's last ability is created on the stack, so it's not "cast."
- 2024-09-20
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.
- 2024-09-20
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.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Cursed Recording. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
