Never had a combo been so destructive to a set until I saw this combo come out.

This was more of a deck scheme with the above cards being the primary cards when Mind Over Matter was released in the Exodus set.  And the deck worked very well.

The concept was to drop low cost artifacts and use cards that would dig and untap lands so you could reuse the Tolarian Acadamy which would constantly make more and more mana. 

Then once you've dropped Mind Over Matter you can just discard a card to untap it and it esculated as you would continue to drop 0 cost artifacts and untap it by discarding a card and using other draw cards.  

The final stroke was discarding enough cards to guarantee your opponent was going to draw out and hit them with Stroke of Genius at Instant speed.

Looks like it was a stroke of genius to apply mind over matter at the Tolarian Academy....

Um, yeah. This was why Tolarian Academy is banned in Urza block and Legacy and restricted in Vintage. It's also a DECK.

That reminds me... Shouldn't we have a place for that?

@ Mechanist

Some silly comment about how you should add March of the Machines or Splinter Twin and Intruder Alarm or something like "not bad" when it's actually good.

If it was me, I want to hear so I can come up with a good comeback.
