What it does
You gain 3 life.
Splice onto Arcane 1 (As you cast an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2013-06-07
If all of the spell’s targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
- 2013-06-07
You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
- 2013-06-07
A card with a splice ability can’t be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
- 2013-06-07
You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word “target” on the resulting spell.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
