I understand the combo potential of the card, however I don't think it is that spectacular. It really caught my eye, I havent just passed it off as crap. I thought about how to break it, and there really doesn't seem to be anything that substantial.. Pyromancer Ascension might work but probably not. Idk it seems like any build you could make with it is too slow to adequately doo anything, and the things that it seems like it can do can be done in a better fashion. There seems to be better, and I really like whacky builds. I will probably not use this card, but if you can find way to use it, godspeed good sir.
Edit: Sphinx Bone Wand. Seems pretty good.

If they're controlled by the same person, whichever they want to go first. Otherwise I believe it goes to the player who controls the turn (i.e., you control EotS, it's your turn, so it exiles the spell since you have priority.)

Great effect, not a great card since your opponent can take advantage of it too.

I threw this into a random blue EDH deck and was surprised how well it performed. Very fun... and even helped win me both games it hit the table.

This is probably overkill, oh well, I'll say it anyway.
EDH+Knowledge Pool+Hive Mind+Eye of the Storm
Too crazy? Or should I add Shaharazad (don't know if I spelled that correctly) to the mix?

Use in a deck with a bunch of Ponder effects. You play your opponent's best spells, and they get to Ponder. What fun.

this is an awsome card that can work with a dirty, DIRTY combo. use this card with Inexorable Tide. because both casting the card from your hand, and the next card from the knowledge pool, this is 2 card casts. with inexorable tides text, its "on cast" so you get to proliferate twice!.. now, add a forgotten ancient into the mix. it gets a +1/+1 counter for every spell cast, from any player not just you. aaaaaaaand, at the beggining of you upkeep you can move those counters to make your awsome creatures have prolifetate
add more knowledge pools (and maybe a prototype portal) to add to the crazy proliferation

I won a game because my opponent played this card. That was fun. It was the pre-release and he had no idea what it did. So I explained and then played an 1 cost artifact for a putrefax and won. It was great
