Exile target nonland card in a graveyard that was put there from anywhere this turn. Copy it. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

Rulings (5)

If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Demand Answers, those must be paid to cast the card.

If a spell has X generic mana in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.
