It's like Academy Ruins, but less evil.

I think I'm really liking this card.
Although Academy Ruins is usually better in a blue deck, this one has its uses too.

Let's compare it to Academy Ruins.

Pros vs the Academy-

-Doesn't require blue mana, so it's useful in any color deck.
-Returns the artifact to your hand, instead of the top of your library.
-It's standard legal.
-Could be combo-ed with the previously mentioned Crucible of Worlds for recursion and to benefit Landfall effects.
-It's not Legendary.
-You don't have to pay $8 to get one.

Cons vs the Academy-

-You have to sacrifice the land to get the benefit.
-Only has a one time use.
-Usually only useful in late game when your willing to lose a land.


With that said, I think it could easily find a home in mono colored decks (since it produces colorless mana), even if they're not completely artifact based.


4/5

This card does NOT combo with Life from the Loam in any way, whatsoever. It also SUCKS with Crucible of Worlds.
