Xander's Pact {4}{B}{B}
Sorcery
Casualty 2 (As you cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power 2 or greater. When you do, copy this spell.)
Each opponent exiles the top card of their library. You may cast spells from among those cards this turn. If you cast a spell this way, pay life equal to that spell’s mana value rather than pay its mana cost.

Notes and Rules Information for Xander's Pact:
- If you cast a spell for another cost “rather than pay its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs such as a blitz cost. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as a casualty cost. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it. (2022-04-29)
- If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost. (2022-04-29)
- Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.” (2022-04-29)
- You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once. (2022-04-29)
- If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell. (2022-04-29)
- The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. (2022-04-29)
