What are some of the best targets for Trinket Mage? I am trying to maximize the importance of it in one of my UW EDH decks.So far the targets I hav in my deck are Sol Ring, Expedition Map, and Sensei's Divining Top.Any other useful targets that I may be interested in?

Everflowing Chalice or any of the artifact lands in your colors, Mox Opal, Lotus Bloom

Grafdigger's Cage, Relic of Progenitus, Brittle Effigy, Lotus Petal.... Yeah, this card is ridiculous.

I run a Pithing Needle because my play group has a lot of planeswalker commanders.

Engineered Explosives and Aether Spellbomb are also pretty great.
I'm also a fan of searching up Seat of the Synod

My package right now is:
- Sensei's Divining Top (combo piece)
- Seat of the Synod
- Elixir of Immortality
- Sol Ring
- Mana Vault
- Ancient Den
- Pithing Needle (sideboard)

Not Sword of the Animist. Explorer's Scope will work, though. My guilty secret is Skyblinder Staff on flying creatures... makes them practically unblockable. Spellbook could also work. Traveler's Amulet or Wayfarer's Bauble for more ramp. Voltaic Key if you need that.

I love Skyblinder Staff, too. Can only be blocked by reach, which is unusual.

Wow! Look at all these targets!
Is Mana Vault worth using?

Yes. Mana vault is particularly good for decks that care about combos. If I'm casting Mind Over Matter and I want to have counter mana up, I need large shots of mana. Also, I can both tutor for it and untap it with Tezzeret the Seeker . It's the third best artifact in my deck.

Tormod's Crypt and/or Relic of Progenitus are some targets which are useful and can cripple some decks.

UpperDeckerTaco, I always wanted them to print a promo Tormod's Crypt. I feel like there are a lot of awesome possibilities for art on that card.
As for the rest, thanks for all the options TO! I'll have to see which ones benefit my deck most and go from there. I completely forgot about some of these amazing cards.

Best target ever is Meekstone. It's hilarious when Krenko, Mob Boss can't untap.

Skullclamp is a very good target, depending on the deck.
