This is one of the best spells around... a definite 5/5. The possibilities are limitless, and it can be used on both offense and defense.
Amazing.

Here's a scenario that's been giving me trouble...
My friend cast Branching Bolt, targeting one of my creatures. In response, I cast Spell Pierce. I noticed that he had 2 lands untapped, though, which he could use to render my Spell Pierce useless, so I used Twincast to copy my Spell Pierce, choosing not to change the target (Branching Bolt). My friend said that this was illegal because the copy can only target the spell on top of the stack, which was my own Spell Pierce.
Is it true that I would have ended up countering my own counter, or can a spell copied with Twincast target the same spell as the original?

Copying stuff like Glimpse the Unthinkable or Hex is a fun thing to do I think...^^
lol @ Endzeit...Oh, da ist ein Deutscher, wie ich sehe!^^
By the way, one question: What happens when you copy a spell for which the additional x cost has been paid - do you copy that additonal effect with it?! That would be cool...

Blindcansee, why would you use a Counterspell AND a Twincast just to send an opponent's spell back into his face when you could just cast Swerve most of the time and be done with it?
And by the way, unless I'm mistaken, I think you can cast, say, Grapeshot, then in response, cast Twincast and target itself five million times, then, the last time, target Grapeshot. You'll be doing five million and one damage thanks to the storm effect on the Grapeshot at the bottom of the stack.
EDIT: Yea, no Twincast plus Grapeshot. My bad.

The target spell is chosen on casting Twincast, and a copy is put (not cast) onto the stack upon resolution. Thats when you can change any targets for the copy (if possible).
Therefore Twincast cannot target itself.
However if you target another Twincast (presumibly cast after whatever the initial spell was), yours will resolve first, putting another Twincast on top of the stack, you then target the 1st Twincast again, it resolves, and puts another copy on top. Basically youre keeping the stack 3 spells deep for no reason.
As for the Illusions Of Grandeur + Donate combo, Twincasting the donate would be pointless. Although donate is a valid target, you can't change any of donates targets to stop the combo. You do not control Illusions until the first resolves, and then its too late to cast Twincast. You can however give them something you already control.
This is really an eye-for-an-eye card unless you cast it on a counterspell.

One of the only good blue cards in Standard.

i used this in a multi color deck I had a while back. I was twincasting my wheel of fortune and wheel of fates to mill everyone for 14. not bad for 2 mana (wheel of fate once it resolves) or 5 mana on a wheel of fortune. it was a fun deck because I had some megrims in there... however now I threw them in a lobotomy/shimmian specter deck. I attack with shimmian, remove something, and if they have another good thing in there then lobotomy/twincast and remove 2 more things.. followed by jester's cap if I see something in the library... sometimes I even remove land with jester's cap so mind funeral is more devistating.
