Flare of Duplication Borderless Copy the Spark
Flare of Duplication is a compact burst of fire and wit. With a mana cost of {1}{R}{R}, you can choose to pay the alternative cost by sacrificing a nontoken red creature. When it resolves, you copy target instant or sorcery spell and you may choose new targets for the copy. That layering of value lets you double up on removal, burn, or protective play, turning a single spell into two threats at once. It fits the set's theme of improvisation and chaotic synergy, rewarding smart timing.
In practice, you want to pick a spell that scales with doubling or creates a favorable outcome when copied. Copying a cheap removal can clear a blocker while leaving your threats intact, or duplicating a burn spell can pressure an opponent from multiple angles. The borderless artwork on this card captures a figure wreathed in flames, matching the card's hot headed yet precise nature. For players building fast red archetypes in Modern Horizons 3, Flare of Duplication offers a dependable tool to extend reach and tempo without extra mana.
