[scd]Spelltwine

Autocard for Spelltwine doesn't seem to work right now, so here's a quote of the spoiler:

Socery

Exile target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard and target instant or sorcery card from an opponent's graveyard. Copy those cards. Cast the copies if able without paying their mana costs. Exile Spelltwine.

This is -basically- a more conditional version of Sins of the Past, and has me wondering whether cheating Dragonstorm or other cards out of the graveyard can be viable. e.g. something involving:

Combo:

Sins of the Past
Spelltwine
Dragonstorm
Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund
Bogardan Hellkite

Hand sculpting/looting

Faithless Looting
Careful Study
Wild Guess
Ideas Unbound

Acceleration

Dark Ritual
Cabal Ritual

Protection

Duress
Force of Will

And to round it out a pile of duals and fetches.

Musing on it, this seems like it would be a worse version of reanimator or a worse version of storm, but I wonder if there are up sides that I'm not seeing.

Similarly, I wonder if there are better 'I win now' sorceries than Dragonstorm or Morality Shift.

I don't see why'd you run Spelltwine > SotP in a deck like that. One can be cast by Dark Ritual, the other can do cute win more shenanigans. Seems like a no-contest.

That said, BR Dragonstorm with Sins of the Past/Past in Flames/Reforge the Soul/Faithless Looting looks stupid fun (in that order).

So if your opponent doesn't cast any Instants/Sorceries or even havy any...you're just a Sins of the Past deck? And even if he does...you're casting a 6 mana sorcery spell that relies on your graveyard and requires setup.

With combos like these, the one thing that comes to my mind first is: why playing this over the supreme setup-into-graveyard-dependant-Sorcery aka Reanimator right now?
