About Teach by Example
Teach by Example, Instant, designed by Johan Grenier first released in March 2021 in the set Strixhaven: School of Mages and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.15.
This card would be beneficial in a spell-heavy deck that focuses on casting multiple instant or sorcery spells in a turn, such as a Spellslinger or Storm deck in Magic: The Gathering. While Teach by Example can provide value by copying a spell, there are potentially better cards like Dualcaster Mage or Twincast that offer more flexibility or efficiency in achieving similar effects. Whether Teach by Example should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it is included in.

Rules
11/08/2024
After Teach by Example resolves, the next instant or sorcery spell you cast that turn will be copied whether or not it has targets.
11/08/2024
If the copied spell divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.
11/08/2024
If the spell has any targets, the copy will have the same targets unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. The new targets must be legal.
11/08/2024
If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy will have the same value of X.
11/08/2024
If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
11/08/2024
The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
11/08/2024
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.
