If for some reason I still have both this and Lightning Helix in my hand when I drop my ninth land? But just casting this on turn 3 and cloning a bolt or a thoughtseize could be good. Snapcaster from the hand (and no flash)

Okay at first I thought the ability always required Kicker and then hit the second part and realized that you always get the Dualcaster Mage style effect. Ehh yeah the lack of Flash really makes me unsure on this but it's absolutely not bad (probably)
