Pyromancy 101

You choose the creature to teach as Pyromancy 101 resolves. The teach ability doesn’t target that creature.

Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.

If the taught creature leaves the battlefield, Pyromancy 101 will stay exiled but won’t be taught to any other creature.

Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).

If you control any creatures as Pyromancy 101 resolves, you must exile it taught to one of those creatures. You can’t choose not to teach it. If you don’t control any creatures as the spell resolves, instead Pyromancy 101 is exiled but taught to nobody.

If Pyromancy 101 is countered or otherwise fails to resolve (probably because the target became illegal), none of its effects will happen, including teach. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be exiled.

If you choose not to cast the copy or you can’t cast it (perhaps because there are no legal targets available), it will cease to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.
