Does copying a Paradigm spell give me the recurring exile-cast benefit?
My opponent casts [[Restoration Seminar]], In response, I copy the spell with something like [[Twincast]], so now there are two Restoration Seminars on the stack — his original and my copy, which I control.
Both resolve. His original returns a permanent from his graveyard, then his card goes to exile per Paradigm. My copy returns a permanent from my graveyard, then Paradigm tries to exile my copy — but as I understand it, a copy of a spell ceases to exist when it would go to any zone other than the stack, so my copy never actually enters exile.
Questions:
- When my copy resolves, does Paradigm set up its delayed triggered ability for me at all (since I did just "resolve a spell with this name" for the first time)?
- If yes, at the beginning of my next precombat main phase, can that ability still create a copy of "this object" in exile and let me cast it — even though my original copy ceased to exist instead of being exiled?
- Could I instead use the fact that his actual Restoration Seminar card is sitting in exile and somehow cast a copy of his card from exile during my main phase?
My read: I get nothing recurring. The delayed trigger refers to a particular object (my vanished copy), not any card sharing the name, and I don't have permission to cast his card. So copying just gets me the one-shot graveyard return — no Paradigm engine for me. But I would like to confirm this so im not losing value in case im wrong
