How does expansion explosion work MTG?
Besides, can you cast expansion on explosion?
You can cast Expansion right after you cast Lightning Strike (C.R. 601.2i, 116.1a, 708.3). However, you have to do so without knowing whether an opponent or any other player will cast an instant spell (including, say, Cancel) or activate an ability in response to Lightning Strike or Expansion (C.R. 116.1a-b, 116.7).
One may also ask, do copies count as casting MTG? 706.10 To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn't cast and a copy of an activated ability isn't activated. A copy of a spell is owned by the player under whose control it was put on the stack.
Beside this, can expansion explosion copy itself?
Expansion can only copy it if you cast it with X = 0. Therefore, as long as you X is 1 or higher, Expansion can no longer copy it. Once an ability triggers, it exists on the stack independently of what happens to its source. To kill the phoenix for good, you need to remove the egg before it can trigger.
Can a spell counter itself?
