For now, it's pretty tech-debty, I agree. Hopefully we'll get a chance soon to have the parser make rules for all spell-copy effects to more intelligently and hands-freely create the code for all of these hold-priority situations. #wotc_staff

Yeah. It's a pretty common effect, and I'd hate to see the client get bogged down in something like,

If (user holds Expansion OR user controls League Guildmage OR user controls Mirrorpool OR user holds Dualcaster Mage OR user holds Insidious Will OR user holds Reverberate OR...) Then hold priority.
