Can this help me break parity in the mid game

You don't have to pick the same number every time, you can adjust Talion every time you have him come into play to match what the table is playing

This activation also provides safety against damage- or toughness-based sweepers and a way of attacking for chip damage by threatening to use it

Whenever you play a land or cast a spell from among cards exiled with The Matrix of Time, that card's owner loses 3 life and exiles the top card of their library

Finally, if you can play Manifold Key before you cast Codie, it can untap them for an additional activation every turn
