Self explanatory query. This year I'm a senior at UNC and I thought I'd build an EDH deck to commemorate the 17 years spent on hopefully becoming not stupid. I'm looking for cards thematically related to educational environments in Blue, such as Academy Elite, Unifying Theory, Rhystic Study, etc. Any Ideas/suggestions for cards and/or a commander for said deck? Any powerful but thematic combos/interactions?

OMG! I love this idea! I don't have anything to contribute but I'm super excited to see where it goes!
Maybe look into some cards from Ravnica, specifically Izzet based cards. They have a lot to do with research and experiments. You might find some good ones there.

I think you're probably going to end up playing a deck that just draws A LOT of cards. So Sphinx's Tutelage might be an interesting (if weak) on theme win condition.

"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
--Buck v Bell, 1927. This case, regarding the compulsory sterilization of inmates at mental institutions, has -- somehow -- never been overturned. Just a wee PSA for ya.

Maybe Mind Unbound? Tamiyo's Journal since its a research Journal. Same for Venser's Journal. Jayemdea Tome?
