Ancestral Knowledge in EDH - Why not?

I've recently been play testing Ancestral Knowledge in my Jhoira of the Ghitu deck Jhoira's Dream Scheme and man oh man does it pull it's weight. 10 cards deep is pretty sweet and from what I've seen, pretty rare compared to other cards out there. The upkeep cost I don't often bother with past the first draw because I drop my bomb and make my big play right away.
I don't expect it to get targeted by other players removal b/c they don't perceive the immediate threat and would rather save their spell for something more obviously problematic. Can't say that for sure though because I'm still just play testing atm.
So what are other peoples thoughts on Ancestral Knowledge? Do you use it? Should it see more play in combo builds? Should it not? Why not?
It seems like a good card, but honestly I think top and Scroll Rack are better. Though if I had the space in a deck I would definitely put this in.

I can't speak for anyone, but I'd destroy that the moment it was played. My brother plays that in one of his edh decks. I'd have to ask him what exactly he combos it with.
