Grind I somewhat struggle with your recommendation because I already have discard and draw cards. I have Arcane Encyclopedia for draw when I have nothing to discard. I did however added Geier Reach Sanitarium and see how it plays.

I have replaced Arcane Encyclopedia with Temple Bell , which did not affect the deck's average converted mana cost, but will save me mana over time, since the ability of the bell has no cost to activate it, and the fact that it causes all players to draw cards works with the "group hug" theme of this deck.

I have replaced Arcane Encyclopedia with Kwain, Itinerant Meddler, which decreased this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.94 to 3.92; while Kwain does allow opponents to draw cards, the fact that his ability costs no mana to activate is extremely important, and could make a significant different in a tense situation.

I have replaced Arcane Encyclopedia with Thought Vessel, which lowered this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.48 to 4.47, because, as great as the encyclopedia is, with this deck's high mana curve, it is more important to have both redundancy with Reliquary Tower and additional sources of mana.

I have replaced Arcane Encyclopedia with Arcane Signet, since the signet is simply too good to not have in an EDH deck, and doing so lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.98 to 3.97, which is always a good thing.
