I feel like with so few artifacts, Academy Ruins isn't worth the slot. Maybe if you ran Mindslaver, but right now I feel like a colored mana source would be better than the utility.

@Lhurgyof: yeah, I've been umming and ahhing about Academy Ruins for a while. I think I've only used it a few times recently. Mind Slaver is nice but it's far too slow and spending 13 mana to shut down 1 player out of 3 is too expensive. I'd rather get value with something like Executioner's Capsule.

It was just a thought. I'd cut the land then.

I have a few suggestions: Rite of Replication, Time Warp, & Bribery.

If you want something else to abuse creatures entering the battlefield effects. Look no further, Rite of Replication your Eternal Witness/Archaeomancer get 5 spells (including Rite of Replication). Oh how about I grab Time Warp with that and another counterspell and w/e else you want... Let's take some extra turns...

So why don't you play Bribery? Who doesn't want to steal their opponents best creature unless your meta has a lot of Homeward Paths?

Fun Suggestion: Diluvian Primordial

It has some fun interactions if you can get 4-5 spells from your enemies to win the game. Playing the enemies' graveyard spells when ever you want with Deadeye Navigator would be awesome right?
