Official rulings
- If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell. (2022-04-29)
- You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once. (2022-04-29)
- The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. (2022-04-29)
- You may return any creature card from your graveyard to your hand, not just those you milled while resolving Dig Up the Body. (2022-04-29)
- Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.” (2022-04-29)
