About Smiting Helix
Smiting Helix, Sorcery, designed by Evan Shipard first released in May, 2019 in the set Modern Horizons and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.50.
This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on a combination of burn damage and life gain strategies, such as a Rakdos or Mardu midrange deck. While Smiting Helix provides a decent value with its damage and life gain, there are potentially better options like Lightning Helix or Kolaghan's Command that offer more versatility or immediate impact. However, Smiting Helix could still see play in certain decks looking for a recurring source of damage and life gain.
Rules
03/19/21
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
03/19/21
You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
03/19/21
“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”
06/14/19
If the chosen target is an illegal target by the time Smiting Helix tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain 3 life.
