How do you guys/gals use this card in standard?
It's a very interesting card with 4 useful abilities. I see it's applications vs MBD right now but fail to see what other match ups it could provide value in.
I had a lot of fun in M14 draft with Trading Post comboing it with Dark Prophecy and Bubbling Cauldron . But in Standard I think it just isn't strong enough. A 4 mana artifact that still requires a mana commitment each turn to use it isn't the greatest thing in the world. Besides, Brad Nelson (a Magic pro) has been trying to break this card since M13 and has yet to do so. And if a pro can't break a card, I don't know if any of us can.

Elixir of Immortality + Trading Post + Sanguine Bond i played a match against this and kills pretty fast once Sanguine Bond is in play

Elixir of Immortality , Pithing Needle , Ratchet Bomb , and the keyrunes are good. You can ALMOST run any color by using Prophetic Prism s also

It works well in EDH for the artifact recursion, but not as well in Standard (that's what I think).
And this is just my thoughts on it.
