Needed one more 'instants matters' card, so I chose "blue instants matters card" and random generator gave me Weaver of Lies.
That card to your left isn't perfect, I know. I kind of wanted the second line of text to say "...whenever you cast an Instant spell, copy ~...". Getting beyond whether you can copy objects that aren't around to see themselves getting copied, I had some problems with the fact that the ability would become multiplicative. Cast LttB once, then Opt, then Opt, then Opt, and you'd return eight creatures to get eight spirits. Not the intention...
Oh, also on the subject of Weaver of Lies: One of the comments is "Why would you ever hard cast this? Ever?" He's got a point. It isn't cheaper, and requires one more blue mana. Funny thing, though, is that Æther Charge, Totem Speaker and Wirewood Savage are all in the same block.
