    Rules

  • If Elite Arcanist leaves the battlefield, you will no longer be able to copy the exiled card. If it returns to the battlefield, you'll be able to exile another instant card from your hand, but Elite Arcanist will be a different permanent with no connection to the first exiled card.
  • If the copied card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value when casting the copy. Don't confuse that {X} with the {X} in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's ability.
  • If the exiled card is a split card, then X is determined by the combined mana cost of both halves. However, when you cast the copy, you choose only one half to cast. You may cast a different half each time you create and cast a copy.
  • The copy is created in and cast from exile. You must still follow any timing restrictions, such as "Cast [this spell] only during combat."
  • You can't pay any alternative costs such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • You don't choose the value of {X} in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's ability. It's defined by the mana value of the exiled instant card.

  • If Isochron Scepter leaves the battlefield while the activated ability is on the stack, the ability can still make a copy. On the other hand, if the imprinted card leaves the exile zone while the activated ability is on the stack, the copy can't be made.

  • If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.
  • You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

  • If the controller of the original spell chose to pay an alternative cost (such as prowl) or an additional cost, that choice is also copied.
  • If the spell is modal (that is, it says “choose one —” or “choose two —”), the choice of mode(s) can’t be changed.
  • Sigil Tracer’s ability can copy an instant or sorcery spell that isn’t targeted.
  • Since the activated ability doesn’t have a tap symbol in its cost, you can tap creatures (including Sigil Tracer itself) that haven’t been under your control since your most recent turn began to pay the cost.
