Copying with Krark and Sakashima
Asked by KrarkTheThumb 1 week ago
When I cast a spell while Krark, the Thumbless and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (as a copy of Krark) are out on the battlefield i get two triggers of flipping a coin and potentially copying the spell. If I succeeded in calling the flip for the first trigger and I loose the flip for the second trigger would the spell still go back to my hand? If so why?

Yes. Each trigger has an independent chance to copy or return the spell. Copying it with the first resolution and returning it with the second is entirely possible, as is returning it and then attempting to return it again, copying it twice, or returning it and then copying it (which will work, as it will use the spell's last known information).
Copying it and returning to hand (in either order) will result in a single copy of the spell resolving. Ideally you'll hit a return the first time and a copy the second for this scenario, because then you'll get to target the copy already knowing the original won't resolve.
Your high point here is obviously hitting copy twice and resolving three copies, but a copy and return isn't bad, since it means you get the spell off and have it available to cast again.
