Magecraft

Magecraft is an ability word introduced in Strixhaven: School of Mages that causes an effect whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.

Description
Magecraft is written as "Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell..." and may appear in all colors.

Magecraft highlights triggered abilities that give you some sort of benefit whenever you cast — or copy — an instant or sorcery spell. The effects are differentiated by Strixhaven college.


 * Silverquill creature pumping and evasion. Stacking multiple instants or sorceries on the same turn.
 * Prismari singular, big effects.
 * Witherbloom life gain.
 * Lorehold graveyard effects.
 * Quandrix +1/+1 counters and creating resources.

Rulings

 * Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
 * If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
 * If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.
 * Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies do not cause magecraft abilities to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause magecraft abilities to trigger.
