Library or Leng is great. It's also harder to find. This will do in a pinch.

It may not be particularly useful, I have two in a deck that I don't think I've ever needed but hey, its a free artifact, it'll always be good in any deck that cares about how many artifacts you have on the table.
@ Arglypuff
How can the tower be strictly better when it's not even the same card type? Think about it, the tower doesn't count towards artifact numbers for Affinity, Metalcraft or anything else like that, this card does. This card will always be a better choice when you need lots of artifacts.

They really need to make a cantrip version of this, probably costing 2. Then again, in any deck where you'd be playing Spellbook, you'd probably be drawing enough cards to not make it matter a whole ton.

Firstly, anyone commenting about this and Tolarian Academy - it's Tolarian Academy that's broken. The fact that it turns this into 'Mox Sapphire' is no reflection on the quality of Spellbook, but on the absurdity of Academy. Pretty much the same for Mind Over Matter - that card's pretty broken. It pretty much wins outright with a lowly Temple Bell. So saying that Spellbook plays an important role with that is like saying a skull sticker on a nuke is an important contributor to its destructive power.
I'm going to stress - this does nothing if you have 7 or less cards. Which pretty much makes it card disadvantage. Technically it's not as it gets to sit on the battlefield looking pretty, but your opponent isn't likely to touch it with a 10 foot clown pole - he doesn't care if you have an artifact out not doing diddily squat.
As anyone who has played with a card draw machine like Consecrated Sphinx or Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur will tell you, drawing heaps of cards and then filtering down ... (see all)
