## Official Rulings
- *(2020-09-25)* You 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. Notably, if the spell you copy was kicked, the copy or copies will also be kicked.
- *(2020-09-25)* A copy is created even if Sea Gate Stormcaller leaves the battlefield before its delayed triggered ability is created.
- *(2020-09-25)* For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value. If it's copied, the copy has the same value of X.
- *(2020-09-25)* Sea Gate Stormcaller's delayed triggered ability will copy any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets.
- *(2020-09-25)* A copy is created even if the spell that caused Sea Gate Stormcaller's delayed triggered ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.
- *(2020-09-25)* The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
