Spellweaver Helix

{3}
Artifact

Imprint — When this artifact enters, you may exile two target sorcery cards from a single graveyard.

Whenever a player casts a card, if it has the same name as one of the cards exiled with this artifact, you may copy the other. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

  • If this card leaves the battlefield while the ability to make a copy is on the stack, the ability will still make a copy using the last-known-information rule.

  • If the imprinted card leaves the exile zone while the ability to make a copy is on the stack, then no copy will be made.

  • You cast the copy while this ability is resolving, and still on the stack. Normally, you’re not allowed to cast spells or activate abilities at this time. Spellweaver Helix’s ability breaks this rule. (The card that triggered this ability is also still on the stack.)

  • If the two imprinted sorcery cards have the same name and a card with that name is cast, only one copy is created, not two.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • 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.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If there’s only one imprinted sorcery card, nothing happens.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • You don’t pay the spell’s mana cost. If a spell has X in its mana cost, X is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can’t use any alternative costs.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • You can’t cast the copy if an effect prevents you from casting sorceries or from casting that particular sorcery.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • You can’t cast the copy unless all of its targets can be chosen.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • Spellweaver Helix’s second ability creates a copy of the imprinted card in the Exile zone (that’s where the imprinted sorcery card is), then allows you to cast it without paying its mana cost.

    Dec 1, 2004 · Wizards of the Coast
  • The creation of the copy and then the casting of the copy are both optional.

    Mar 1, 2005 · Wizards of the Coast
  • A split card has the same name as a spell if either of its names is that spell’s name.
