Not an AI issue. When you exile two different sorceries it becomes clear. When you copy one with Spellweaver Helix it triggers Spellweaver Helix and allows you to copy the other sorcery, and so on, in an infinite loop.

It shouldn't automatically trigger an infinite loop. Spellweaver Helix 's second ability reads "Whenever a player casts a card..." What's not a card? A triggered ability - namely the ability of Spellweaver Helix to copy an imprinted card and put it on the stack. Therefore, when you trigger Spellweaver Helix 's second ability, you are not "cast[ing] a card," and you do not thereby further trigger Spellweaver Helix.

I'm saying that is what is happening, not what should happen. It was a clarification of what Aswan Jaguar reported.

Now in Manalink dev 778ccb5 version
1- Spellweaver Helix never triggers if a player casts a sorcery same as one of the 2 exiled with Spellweaver Helix. (Never creates a Legacy with the names of the exiled cards if it matters).
2- Spellweaver Helix when you choose opponent's graveyard it opens your graveyard.
