Prophetic prism is a great card in many ways. Not only is it cheap card advantage but it is also a good card for splashing in a 3rd or 4th color as well as filtering for a color you might be lacking.

Im honestly starting to think I have a deck list for just about anything. Here is a list with trophy mage. It is a mono blue burn deck using Consulate turret. Trophy mage serves as a chump blocking body as well as a tutor to get my turrets to the field.

Mr "get your swords out" is amazing. Most of the best equipment, from the swords of x and x line to loxodon warhammer and whisper silk cloak are CMC 3. It also grabs some amazing vehicles and artifact creatures (Aethersphere Harvester, etched champion) and combo and control pieces (blasting station, ashnod's altar, basalt monolith, ensnaring bridge, plague boiler).

Trophy Mage is great in Commander. Not only does he find equipment (Swords, Sunforger) and popular blue combo pieces (Basalt Monolith, Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Sculpting Steel), but he also finds top tier manafixing (Chromatic Lantern, Coalition Relic, Darksteel Ingot, Burnished Hart) and a Wrath (Oblivion Stone).
