If you can get 100 counters on your boardstate, try Walking Archive. I promise you it's a fun winning condition!

(So is Rite of Replication for a quick 90 counters by cloning reyhan)

So Wheel and Deal immediately comes to mind as do the "Wheel of ___" cards, though I dunno what your budget for this deck is and some cost quite the pretty penny, with Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Otherworld Atlas, and Walking Archive as other universal draw options. There's Heartbeat of Spring, Mana Flare, Keeper of Progenitus for more mana doublers as well as Eladamri's Vineyard, Magus of the Vineyard, Shizuko, Caller of Autumn, and to a lesser extent Blinkmoth Urn for similar mana gifts with Fertilid not being too far off from that. Finally there's Charmed Griffin and Hunted Wumpus for more free stuff options, though admittedly more restricted than what you already have.

You know your opponents can also manipulate the counter on Walking Archive to maximize their card draw befor their turn starts. I'd say that's also a negative

I have Well of Ideas in my group hug EDH deck, but I am contemplating replacing it with Walking Archive , so I wish to ask for advice from the others users here before I make a decision.

I shall compare the cards, below, listing their advantages and disadvantages.

Well of Ideas

+controller receives the benefit before their opponents do, and receives a greater benefit

-has a higher mana cost

Walking Archive

+has a lower mana cost

+provides a creature for blocking

+is a mana sink, and can potentially draw a significant number cards over the course of the game

-opponents shall receive the benefit before the controller, and all players receive the same benefit

What does everyone else say about this? Which card should I use in my deck?

Alternatively, I could replace Dictate of Kruphix with Walking Archive , although the flash mechanic on the dictate is very appealing. What does everyone say about that idea?

Hey KibaAlpha!

No, the idea is benched. I was trying to phase out white for Sakashima but instead discovered the potential of Basri's Lieutenant with e.g. Good-Fortune Unicorn . Tayam, Luminous Enigma and Luminous Broodmoth caught my attention and suddenly with all these new white sources Sakashima just couldn't take the helm.. And I couldn't take it in my heart either to bench Walking Archive .

Instead I've been cutting the CMC and made more room for combo potential. The list is a bit outdated as right now Mazirek and Spark double made room for Double Major (fun with doubling season) and Tanazir Quandrix (I have about 30 creatures that have base power 2 or less, which makes this thing so good!).

And man, in it's current setup this deck is running so incredibly well now. I see you've caught the Orzhov fever lately, you still play with Reyhan?

You might like these: Knowledge Pool , Zur's Weirding , Walking Archive , Guild Feud , Mind's Dilation , Proteus Staff , Charmbreaker Devils , Angel's Trumpet , Nature's Revolt , Overabundance , Zhur-Taa Ancient , Fractured Identity , Coalition Flag , Guided Passage , Unexpected Results , Captivating Glance (this one is neat in multiplayer cuz you can enchant one opponent's dude, then clash with a different opponent for control of that dude)

ShotgunCrocodile on Legends forcing card draw??

Teferi's Puzzle Box , Dragon Mage , Otherworld Atlas , Peer into the Abyss , Skyscribing , Temple Bell , Walking Archive and Whirlpool Warrior are probably cool cards for this deck.

As for protection someone said Avacyn already but there's also Bruna, the Fading Light and Gisela, the Broken Blade so you can have Brisela, Voice of Nightmares . As well as Gaddock Teeg , Shalai, Voice of Plenty and Akroma's Memorial .
