  Official Ruling
  If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copies will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.

  Official Ruling
  Thunderclap Drake's second ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that spell's cost.

  Official Ruling
  The copies made by Thunderclap Drake's delayed triggered ability are created on the stack, so they're not "cast."
• WWizards of the Coast2024-04-12
  Official Ruling
  You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copies. 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 copies too.

  Official Ruling
  If you have multiple commanders, you'll copy the next instant or sorcery spell you cast this turn for each time you've cast either of them. For example, if you've cast one commander once and one twice, you'll copy that spell three times.
