I once saw a tech between Sylvan Library and Death's Shadow. Library is fine with Bob flips, and more ca is always nice. What I am unsure about, is that I don't think Shadow is good against Precursor Golems, and even worse against a Mentor.

I was a bit dissapointed on Modo, what Transmute Artifact currently does. I had in mind, that you could transmute a Su-Chi into an Alladin's Ring. But its a triggered ability, not a Mana Ability. Just sad panda(

1 Trinisphere
4 Ancient Tomb

3 Mountain
2 Snow-Covered Mountain
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Wasteland

As far as I know, the list saw just small play. Got reminded of the list, by watching Brassman's Stream tonight.

Just as an add on, this could be really fun(?) with Balance. This card has really the potential to be an enabler for many. Armageddon and Wrath of God and so on. Not that the cmc with those were playable, but with Balance you could cast both in a row.

It can cheat in Phyrexian Dreadnought, and be abused with Ad Nauseam.

2cents about the Library of Alexandria unrestriction thing, I would be afraid that Shops could use them, along with Coercive Portal. I wouldn't hammer in on Workshop, since there are just 3 Shop Cards restricted (Chalice, Golem, and Trini). This is nothing against all the TX Engine Parts that are restricted. Sphere of Resistance is a Shop only card, and really abuses the Symetry between Shop mana and Sphereeffects. There are not that many Sphere effects left that are restrict worthy, so I'd try them at first.

And about Mentor, he is on a Power Level with Tinker, imo.

Someone ever thought of an Oathmorphboard? Since Dredge is almost an autowin, and you can adjust with MD Canonists your Combo Matchup, there is only Aggro wich needs to be solved. Mentor often has the wrong answers to, so maybe there would be the Space in the SB. I have seen with Oath Helymline Hybrids, so maybe there could be design Space.

I don't know, maybe its just me, but I think this could be the shell for new Belcher Lists. A morphboard from this to a 1 Land Belcher List comes to my mind, just siding out lands.

Cool card, but the Manacost is damn awful. Would be realy graded up if he would be an artifact him self, that he could be cast by Shops. I don't think someone will Drain into him.
