  Official Ruling
  If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.

  Official Ruling
  If you cast a spell for another cost “rather than pay its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs such as a blitz cost. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as a casualty cost. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.
• WWizards of the Coast2022-04-29
  Official Ruling
  The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
