I cast cryptic command choosing to bounce a creature and draw a card, the target of the bounce is precursor golem. Precursor Golem copies the spell two times, each of which must bounce a golem. But, on the other two copies of the spell, can I choose different functions other than the cantrip or does precursor golem copy the spell exactly as originally cast?
Copies copy all choices for a spell, modes included.Originally Posted by Ubiquitous Druid
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Can they get to re-select modes for the copies - like, could the player choose to tap all creatures or counter a spell with one of the copies?

Original Poster to the Deadguy Ale thread when Jitte was suggested:
I do not believe so. When you copy a modal spell, all choices made (including what modes) should be locked on the copy. So he would bounce 3 golems, draw 3 cards.

You cannot know the sweetness of Victory, without first dwelling in the agony of Defeat.
You can't change modes.

But Precursor Golem's text specifically says targets ONLY a single Golem. so if you used any other modes on the spell ( like tap all creature's target player controls or even counter target spell...theoretically you're choosing ANOTHER target, hence why the Searing Blaze doesn't deal 9 damage to an opponent with a golem). Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
If a targeted mode in addition to the mode targeting the Golem was chosen, you'd be correct - however, the original post specified "draw a card" for the other mode. The spell has to have only one target, and that target has to be a golem.
