Spellweaver Volute Aftermath

A silly Spellweaver Volute Combo I brewed.First of all we have Aftermath cards. The interaction between Aftermath cards and Spell Weaver are quite interesting. Aftermath cards have both card types and combined cmc outside of the Stack which makes the Aftermath cards that are an instant and a sorcery at the same time an interesting target.Enchant spring / mind with Spellweaver Volute because the Mind hald is an instant. Play a sorcery from your hand, a Aftermath sorcery half from your grave or use Flashback to activate Spellweaver. Spellweaver creates a copy of the card in your graveyard, you may choose which half (yes even the sorcery half). This only works because the copy is played from the graveyard allowing you to cast the aftermath half with Spellweaver Volute. No matter what we mostly choose to cast the sorcery half.That way the next instant Spellweaver Volute is played because it's ability gets triggered by the sorcery it casted itself.Now the Stack get filled with a lot of Aftermath cards of which the last one that was in Spellweaver Volute Get's played first.A nice way to do this is X times Oblivion (Consign / Oblivion), Memory (Commit / Memory), X times Spring (spring / mind), one instant finisher Searing Wind, Riddle of Lightning or Lavaball Trap

Commit, Consign & Failure are at least some kind of Control to protect our finisher move and slow down the match while Spring ramps into our combo together with Noble HierarchNoble Hierarch even helps to cast our Failure / Comply can be cast from the graveyard.Commune with the Gods & Faithless Looting digs through our deck while searching for Spellweaver Volute. Serum Visions is another card that is somehow working to finding our stuff and triggers Spellweaver Volute, too.

I think we could go down on some Finishers and I personally got the impression that Searing Wind is less amazing than Lavaball Trap and Riddle of Lightning because Lavaball Trap slows down our opponent and can be played outside of Spellweaver Volute just like Riddle of Lightning. Riddle of Lightning can also deal 7-10 Damage by revealing Commit / Memory, Lavaball Trap, Searing Wind, spring / mind or Consign / Oblivion.

I need to mention that the Sideboard could use some improvement.
