@ Volcre:
Sadly, this doesn't work as well as you think. Cruel Ultimatum says "target opponent", so you don't get to change the target of the original spell (unless you're in a multiplayer game). However, your copy can target the opponent.

It's two of my favourite spells wrapped into one pretty little package.

@Jsl101669: yes, this can copy a Tutor. However, since tutors normally don't target, you wont get to do anything with the original spell.
Example:
If you cast Wild Ricochet targeting your opponent's Demonic Tutor, you'd end up getting a copy of Demonic Tutor for yourself. Your opponent still searches his/her own library with their own Tutor, because you can't change which player the Tutor affects. Basically, you just cast an expensive Reverberate on your opponent's Tutor.
If, however, you cast Wild Ricochet targeting a tutor that targets a player (i.e. "target player searches..."), then you would be able to tutor for both spells. Sadly, as of this post, no such tutor exists right now - if you search the rules text "target player searches", you end up with Fertilid... -.-
You can still use this on Bitter Ordeal and Lobotomy with great effect th... (see all)

One of the only few red control cards available. Also useul in conjuction with your own spells, like Banefire. For example, with only Banefire, 15 mana can hit for 14 health. But with this card, 15 mana can hit for 2x10, an uncounterable 20 damage instant-kill, or a great Planeswalker killer.

@GrimjawxRULES:
I like your thinking with Lobotomy and Bitter Ordeal, but there are drawbacks to those. Most importantly, the controller of the spell still does the searching, so for the original copy of it they pick what gets ditched, if anything - at best there'll be no/little effect and at worst you're giving them a partial Selective Memory. Hitting Bitter Ordeal with this would only get you one shot of it and any gravestormed copies played on you would still go through.
That being said, imagine playing this on a kicked Sadistic Sacrament...
@18scsc: You wouldn't sac your own creatures to a copy of Soulblast because sacking them is part of the cost to cast the spell and you're not casting the copy. You would, however, be able to do the original spell's damage to player 3 with the copy.

Excellent when used with Sunforger. You can duplicate your spells, ricochet your enemy's spells or get around an enemy counterspell for 2 mana. Or if you get 2 sunforgers (stonehewer giant is awesome for that) you can use two ricochet's for 4 mana which leads to 4 copies :O

@Masterwampus
It says you may choose new targets, you dont even have to change. Plus, you can pick the same guy twice.
