This is still really a casual card, though.

hmmm im confused here, it says split card is only half the name so it wont copy if you play a split card, but what if you play the other card, can you chose any side of the split card, the whole split card (both sides) or do you decide to chose a split card when you exile it and only that portion counts as exiled by spellweaver helix?
also if I have two spellweaver helixes out one with card A and a split card, another with card B and another copy of the split card, and I play card A, do (or if) I get the split card and then that triggers the other helix giving me card B (that is if I get both parts of the split card)
confusing....

@Ava_Adore:
First off, if you have exiled a split card and another sorcery (let's say a Raven's Crime), and then you cast another Raven's Crime, the Spellweaver Helix's second ability triggers. When it resolves, if you choose to cast the split card, as part of the casting process, you choose one side and that's the one you 'll actually cast. As long as it's on the stack, it'll have only the chosen side's characteristics. Previous choices don't matter.
You'll get one side of the split card from A's Spellweaver Helix, but B's Helix won't trigger.
@magog360:
Would be fun, but it'll never be, for they are instants.
This would be a purely casual card, if it costed more. At {3}, it's quite the viable win condition, the most obvious choice being a cheap buyback sorcery, (I'm especially fond of Mystic Specualtion) and an extra turn sorcery (Time Warp, Time Stretch etc.)

Curse of the Cabal, being too expensive if you hard cast it, could be done with Suspend. Once it's in the graveyard you can use Helix to get it and another card to duplicate over and over.
Demonic Collusion is another good card to use. Using buyback you can discard two major spells into the graveyard while searching for Helix for instant combination.

This has a lot of synergy with faithless looting.

Ruling:
01/12/2004 A split-card spell's name is only half the card's name, so Spellweaver Helix never triggers when a split card is cast.
What about Fuse-split cards?

obviously the best fetch spell with this card is Gifts Ungiven. gets you a minimum of 3 cards in your yard that you can hit with a helix.
another possibly nutty combination is with Strionic Resonator. It can copy both the imprint trigger (you get to imprint 4 cards that way), and also the casting trigger, allowing you to copy the other card(s) twice.
