Also, you can't target the card being exiled, since it's not a spell except for when it's being cast.

<p>I cast a spell like <em>Mizzix's Mastery</em>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Exile target card that's an instant or sorcery from your graveyard. For each card exiled this way, copy it, and you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. Exile Mizzix's Mastery. [...]</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Then I cast something like <em>Narset's Reversal</em>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Copy target instant or sorcery spell, then return it to its owner's hand. You may choose new targets for the copy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Does the copied spell that got exiled with the first card return to my hand? Or is this not possible since the spell is a copy of the exiled card?</p>

Can I return a copied spell from exile to my hand via Narset's Reversal?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-07-26)

I cast a spell like *Mizzix's Mastery*:

> Exile target card that's an instant or sorcery from your graveyard. For each card exiled this way, copy it, and you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. Exile Mizzix's Mastery. [...]

Then I cast something like *Narset's Reversal*:

> Copy target instant or sorcery spell, then return it to its owner's hand. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Does the copied spell that got exiled with the first card return to my hand? Or is this not possible since the spell is a copy of the exiled card?
