The option to pay a spell differently is usually stated in the text of the spell (or ability suggesting an alternative payment) and appears as follows: You may [perform an action] rather than pay [this object]s mana cost This is stated on Force of Will or Shining Shoal, as well as in the rules for Flashback, Overload and Evoke
Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.) Instant Protection (CTRL to add secondary) Pump Deathmist Raptor Deathtouch Whenever a permanent you control is turned face up, you may return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield face up or face down
Dodging removal was a big part of why Copter was so powerful but these days it feels as if the card is fairly easy to take down, or at least compared to when the card was first out and so utterly rampant
+1/+1 every turn can make a difference more often than you might think, and the +2/+2 boost you can give to Toxic creatures really matters, as making them harder to block profitably comes with extra value +2/+2 can definitely win you some combats, but it isnt that efficient and doesnt have that much additional upside, and you need tricks to be flexible and powerful to counteract the downside of a 2-for-1 risk, and +2/+2 for 2 doesnt really get you there
