Creature — Kor Wizard4 generic manaWhite mana

Demonstrate was built to be a multiplayer keyword: copying a spell and being made to hand a copy to an opponent is the kind of political friction that only works with more than two seats at the table. Normally the mechanic is a one-shot rider bolted onto a single spell, a costed choice you weigh once. This card lifts it off any one card and hangs it over your whole creature plan, so every creature spell you cast carries the copy-and-share clause as a standing option. That reframing changes the mechanic's character entirely. When demonstrate lived on individual cards, gifting an opponent a token was a real concession you accepted for the copy of your own spell. As a persistent trigger on every cast, it becomes a table-shaping lever: you double the creatures you play, and the "choose an opponent to also copy it" line turns from concession into currency, letting you decide which rival you feed and which you starve. The 3/3 body for five is beside the point, and the card is honest about that; the value is in the repeatable doubling and the string of small political favors it dangles on every creature. The design maneuver here is rare in the multiplayer format: taking a keyword priced to appear once and giving it a dedicated enabler that converts it from a paid-for rider into a permanent condition you build a deck around.
