Silverquill Lecturer 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.
Official card text
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.)
How it works : Silverquill Lecturer
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you cast the spell and choose not to copy it, no opponent will get to copy it either.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the spell had an X value chosen for it as it was cast, the copies will have the same value of X.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
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
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Resolving copies of permanent spells become tokens as they enter the battlefield. These tokens are not considered "created" when this happens.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
