New Spellweaver Helix

This is a combo deck based around Spellweaver Helix. I have found that in the past when making a deck focused on Spellweaver Helix, that the difficulty is assembling the 4 cards needed (Spellweaver Helix, imprinted card 1, imprinted card 2, card to cast from hand) to set up the combo fast enough.

I'm hoping this build will overcome some of those problems.

Combo 1: Bring to Light, Beacon of Creation (or Serene Remembrance) imprinted on Spellweaver HelixThe aim of the deck is to imprint Bring to Light and Beacon of Creation (or Serene Remembrance) on the Helix, and then cast the _Beacon _or _Remembrance _to cast an obscene number of spells.

After this, you would end the combo with a huge number of insect tokens in play (in the case of Beacon) or (in the case of Remembrance) use Bring to Light to fetch and cast a storm spell to defeat your opponent.

Combo 2: Dark Petition, Raven's Crime (or Syphon Life) imprinted on Spellweaver Helix.

With Dark Petition, Raven's Crime (or Syphon Life) imprinted on the Helix, after hand casting Raven's Crime or Syphon Life, you can retrace this card, with a land you have searched for using Dark Petition. Dark Petition also pays for the mana cost of the retraced card, as long as its spell mastery criteria is active.

After this, you can cast the loop of sorceries repeatedly as many times as desired.

Using Syphon Life in this combo will likely send your opponent's life total to zero just by itself.

With Raven's Crime, you can force your opponent to discard his/her hand, so they will, in many circumstances be limited to hoping that the top card of their library will be able to get them out from the soft lock you have them under. But most likely, you would use Dark Petition to fetch a storm spell from your library and defeat your opponent, once the storm count is high enough.
