Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

The card depicts figures walking up and down a double spiral staircase, becoming deformed as they descend and perfected as they ascend.

The Helix card manipulates the player's mutations in the following way:

• Power level 0: If there are no mutations, gain one. Otherwise, with equal probability:
  • Gain one random mutation.
  • Lose one random mutation then gain one random mutation.
  • Lose one random mutation.
• Power level 1: If there are no mutations, gain one (likely to be good). Otherwise, with equal probability:
  • Gain one mutation (likely to be good mutation).
  • Lose one mutation (likely to be bad mutation if the player has any bad mutations).
  • Gain one mutation and lose one mutation, with following probabilities:
    • 25%: Lose one probably-bad mutation and gain one random mutation.
    • 25%: Lose one random mutation and gain one probably-good mutation.
    • 50%: Lose one random mutation and gain one random mutation.
• Power level 2: With equal probability:
  • Lose a probably-bad mutation; no effect if there are no mutations.
  • Gain one probably-good mutation.
  • With equal probability:
    • Lose a probably-bad mutation if the player has any, then gain a random mutation.
    • Lose a random mutation, then gain a probably-good mutation.
