This card, Inspiring Statuary, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on casting a high number of nonartifact spells while also utilizing artifacts. Decks that rely on a mix of spells and artifacts, such as artifact-heavy control or combo decks, would greatly benefit from the improvise ability, allowing for more efficient casting of nonartifact spells. While there may be other cards that provide similar effects or better overall utility, Inspiring Statuary could still see play in specific deck archetypes that can take advantage of its unique ability to leverage artifacts for spellcasting efficiency.
