I understand that's the way it is. No if's and's or but's. Just hoping/thinking they can be more clear with the text in the future. But then again I guess that's why they have rulings to sort that stuff out. Thanks for the feedback. 

You have a choice to copy, then a choice to cast. I understand the ruling but am left thinking it should say "you can cast this w/out paying its castings cost" or "if you cast this you will not (have to) pay its casting cost" instead of "you may cast this w/out paying casting cost" by saying "may" it implies more of a choice when you don't.

The "may" opt of paying the CMC is offered with this card's copy so why the ruling against the ability to pay alternative cost. The player is given a choice on the card. I can choose to make a copy and then choose to pay its CMC instead or not in order to cast the spell. One would presume if I pay the CMC I could pick to pay alternative and additional costs not just the additional cost.

The card says may. What if I choose to pay the CMC. Could I then overload, entwine, etc. The player has a choice/opt.

Anytime you can put someone's card in the graveyard for each extra mana it's always been worth it in my past. The damage the card does is just an added bonus. So the more the merrier.
