Hello guys I was just wondering if you have a spell encoded on a Creature do you need to have the encoded card in hand to castle it for free or does the ability completely copies the spell?
As the mechanic say you encode the spell on your creature, then you copy and cast it for free when the creature deals damage to a player. It works like any other copy mechanic, you don´t need to have a copy in your hand
As cards with Cipher say, the card in exile is copied and then you cast the copy.
Do keep in mind that you have to cast the copy immediately, you can't hold onto it for later.
