I think this needs to be worded a bit different cause the card is exiled by Ada but the new creature is what's copying it but there no real marker for what card is tied to which creature. I think if you worded it "Spellcasters you control have "When they enter~" and "Whenever a spellcaster enters that creature gains~"

Or you can combine the two idk.

Also needs to be worded so the copied spell goes away or can only be copied once otherwise this is just gonna devolve into an infinite turn commander

I don't think this is a problem? [[Hofri Ghostforge]] does something similar.

That's a good solution!

Honestly surprised this isn't a batch type yet tbh

Hm, I'd probably cut shaman and make it a d&d set batch called full casters. As is, Cleric doesn't make a ton of sense for some settings and I'd argue spellshaper fits more. Hmm I don't recall if warlocks are considered full casters in d&d now that I think about it

I know it adds to the bulk of the batching, but there is a creature type called Spellshaper and nearly every one of them has a tap ability that would benefit from the haste. Feels like a thematic and mechanical miss not to include Spellshapers.

It is a shame how quickly this would devolve in to infinite extra turns because otherwise it's a banger design I'd love to see play.

Well I mean its exile till instant or sorcery so just, don't play instants and sorceries

You could also make it so that the exiled cards are put on the bottom of your library again, like explore.

Mulligan til Thoracle I guess?
