Carte Magic Cursed Recording

Cursed Recording is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

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.

How it works : Cursed Recording

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The copy made by Cursed Recording's last ability is created on the stack, so it's not "cast."

    No other card is named in this ruling.
