Mirrodin block has a lot of casual interesting rares, I think. Rares that are no tournament material but great but build a multiplayer deck with. Spellweaver Helix for example:
Imprint - When Spellweaver Helix comes into play, you may remove two target sorcery cards in a single graveyard from the game. (The removed cards are imprinted on this artifact.) Whenever a card is played, if it has the same name as one of the imprinted sorcery cards, you may copy the other and play the copy without paying its mana cost.
I made a Mono Black Control deck with Spellweaver Helix and it works reasonably. Most often the first Helix meets some artifact destruction but the deck lets you survive long enough to try it again. And when they don't have artifact destruction, whell playing corrupt every turn is nasty.
MBC Helix (budget)
4 Wall of Souls
4 Undead Gladiator
4 Bane of the Living
4 Spellweaver Helix
4 Wayfarer's Bauble
4 Barter with Blood
4 Corrupt
4 Evincar's Justice (buyback)
4 Brush With Death (buyback)
The idea is to imprint one buyback spell and a corrupt or barter with blood on the Helix and then keep casting the same buyback card over and over again.
Simple plan, easy to disrupt, but I had a few wins with it.
Now i'm wondering what are other great ways to use Spellweaver Helix?
With flashback? Other buyback cards? Graveyard recursion? Splice? Any idea is appreciated
