Inspiring Statuary would be a great addition to an artifact-heavy deck in Magic: the Gathering, especially one that focuses on casting nonartifact spells.

While there may be better cards for specific strategies, Inspiring Statuary can definitely see play in the right deck, providing a unique and versatile way to cast spells.
