Strixhaven 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
Instant and sorcery spells players cast have demonstrate. (Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, they may copy it. If they do, they choose an opponent to also copy it. Players may choose new targets for their copies.) Whenever chaos ensues, return up to one target instant or sorcery card from a graveyard to its owner's hand.
How it works : Strixhaven
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· 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.
- #2· 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.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the spell requires targets, you choose the target of the original spell as you cast it. If you create a copy of the spell, you may choose new targets for the copy as you create that copy. Similarly, the opponent you chose to create a copy may choose new targets for that copy as it’s created. In other words, your opponent will know the targets of your original spell and your copy when choosing the new targets, if any, for their copy.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
This means that 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.
