If I were to use {Nivix Guildmage}, could I copy a card from my graveyard?
Let's say, {Lightning Strike}.
And if so, what would happen?
Would I have to pay for the {Lightning Strike}'s mana cost, as for it being copied?
Please use curly brackets or the book in the upper right to link cards. Makes it easier to answer. Thanks.

If the card is anywhere but the stack, it is just a card,not a spell, at least in the case of instants and sorceries. You can NOT use the guildmage to copy a spell any time except for when it is on the stack,
