What it does

Creature spells you cast have demonstrate. (Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may copy it. If you do, choose an opponent to also copy it. Each copy becomes a token.)

Combos with Silverquill Lecturer

Rulings

7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-06-07

    Resolving copies of permanent spells become tokens as they enter the battlefield. These tokens are not considered "created" when this happens.

  • 2024-06-07

    If you cast a spell with demonstrate and both you and an opponent copy it, the opponent's copy will resolve first, then your copy will resolve, and finally the original spell will resolve.

  • 2024-06-07

    You choose whether to make a copy as the demonstrate ability resolves. This happens before the original spell resolves. Your copy goes on the stack above the original spell.

  • 2024-06-07

    If you cast the spell and choose not to copy it, no opponent will get to copy it either.

  • 2024-06-07

    If you copy a spell with demonstrate, you then immediately choose an opponent. If they copy the spell, it goes on top of the stack.

  • 2024-06-07

    If any additional or alternative costs were paid to cast the spell with demonstrate, the copies will see those choices as well. For example, if the spell has a kicker ability and was kicked, the copies will also be kicked

  • 2024-06-07

    If the spell had an X value chosen for it as it was cast, the copies will have the same value of X.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Silverquill Lecturer

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Silverquill Lecturer — a name search across every version, for 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.
