It provides a versatile and efficient way to disrupt your opponent's board state by bouncing problematic nonland permanents back to their hand. While there may be more powerful bounce spells like Unsummon or Cyclonic Rift available, Retraction Helix's ability to be reused multiple times in a turn can make it a valuable inclusion in certain decks, especially those looking to maintain board control and disrupt the opponent's game plan.
