When you next cast an instant spell, cast a sorcery spell, or activate a loyalty ability this turn, copy that ability twice. You may choose new targets for the copies.
The fact it impacts loyalty abilities means this may actually see Standard play. Loyalty abilities don't cost any actual mana, so if you can untap with a PW, you can use that 4 mana to do some nasty things.
Wait this + shock + Ral + expansion is 4 copies of shock + 8 triggers from Ral, if you don’t use expansion But instead ral’s minus You get 7 triggers + 5 copies of shock (more reliable and 17 damage by turn 5). With leyline of antecipation you can combo kill on turn 5, looks like ral + copy spells will be a real deck lol
Prety sure it is not acutate. Ral’s minus copies the next cast spell, both spells do the same. None goes infinite because you don’t copie twice the copies (as they are not cast and instead created in the stack). The only way to go infinite with ral is instant speed copy spells because they need to have a target first (another spell like opt or shock) and they need to keep copying each other (creating copies that will copie the copie spell for as long it takes).

There are so many abilities that could be totally backbreaking with this thing. Even something like Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage into this to force the opponent to discard 3 sounds good. Vivien, Champion of the Wild into her -2 next turn, with this thing letting you get 9 cards deep into your deck and picking out 3 creatures.Never mind more expensive planeswalkers, like Sarkhan the Masterless being able to make 3 4/4 dragons.
But let's be honest, the dream with this thing isn't in standard...oh no. The dream, which may never be realized, is to use this play as many consecutive Goblin Games as possible.

Right it needs a 2nd copy spell to pop off.
The way it works is that you activate Ral, then play this. Ral's trigger copies this, then you let the copy resolve. You respond with Expansion, targeting the original spell. This thing's trigger copies Expand (twice, but that doesn't matter), and you have the copy Expand target the original, going into infinite copies.
Yeah, it's a bit convoluted, but I've seen a deck based around it. Not saying the deck was good, but it works.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
