Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Teach by Example is a clean, flexible piece of spell duplication that fits best in tempo and combo-leaning decks, especially Izzet shells that want to keep mana open and turn one spell into two. At just {U/R}{U/R}, it asks very little of your color base, and its “next instant or sorcery this turn” wording rewards careful sequencing: fire this off before your key removal, cantrip, burn spell, or protection spell to double the impact. In practice, it can push through damage, win a counter war by copying a bounce or draw spell, or generate explosive turns with cards that already scale hard when copied. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with cheap modal spells and cards that care about casting instants and sorceries, such as prowess-style threats or spell payoff permanents, so every copy advances board and hand at once. The title also feels apt—this is spellcraft as instruction, one spell teaching the next.
