## Official Rulings
- *(2009-10-01)* A face-up plane card that's turned face down becomes a new object with no relation to its previous existence. In particular, it loses all counters it may have had.
- *(2009-10-01)* If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode. Its controller can't choose a different one.
- *(2009-10-01)* If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Earthquake does), the copy has the same value of X.
- *(2009-10-01)* The controller of the spell that caused Izzet Steam Maze's first ability to trigger also controls the copy. The copy resolves before the original spell.
- *(2009-10-01)* The controller of the copy 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.
- *(2009-10-01)* The effect of Izzet Steam Maze's first ability is mandatory. You must copy the spell whether you want to or not.
