Can i copy a copied spell cast through an encoded creature?

Cipher is casting for free pretty much so anytime it says cast a spell you can do that, like copy, redirect, counter, and extort...I just thought about that free spells to extort...*head starting to implode*

Another thing. You cant encode an "original copy" right? You need a card to exile for that right?

Yes. Otherwise the mechanic would be stupid broken. Encoding it on a creature every time the encoded copies resolve?

Cipher onto an unblock able creature
Creature attacks and gets a copy
Creature attacks again and gets two copies.
Creature attacks again and gets four copies....

You see were this is going
