Every card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card references Volrath's Stronghold mechanically and Tolarian Academy for flavor. Possibly the crabs mentioned in the flavor text are Hermit Crabs?

Mindslaver is the obvious combo, but the ability to get back any artifact repeatedly is just begging for abuse. Try even the Spellbombs.

This fished out by an Expedition Map is a really simple combo in EDH that lets you get whatever lands you want out of your deck, and makes all your artifacts impervious. Very good card, one of the most powerful lands in the game.

Every artifact deck needs some way of bringing their artifacts back. This is the card to do it.

The artifact Volrath's Stronghold.
As if they needed the help.

Not as powerful as it's Urza's Saga predecessor but powerful in its own right. Negates artifact killing instants like Shatter and Disenchant. This card is perfect for the Mirrodin block: Mindslaver anyone!?
