Thanks for the suggestions! Looks like we're pretty much on the same page! I've got Arcanis and Blue Sun's Zenith already, and Consecrated Sphinx is, uh, very expensive. I can't really justify dropping $25 on one card right now, but I do have Thought Reflection which is almost as good.
Two things: First of all, Recurring Insight is more bang for your buck than Consecrated Sphinx and many people think it's a better card anyhow. Secondly, I would recommend Alhammarret's Archive in addition to Thought Reflection, especially if you have any life gain.
Having absolutely no idea what your manabase looks like, might I add a resounding "yes" to this. Better lands are often the least sexy part of deck building, but shoring up your mana better facilitates game play. Also, "spell lands" end up being underrated free slots.
Turns out that artifact mana with Narset's insane card advantage has a blitzkrieg effect, like Chip Kelly's offense: super quick bombardment of the board scares people despite its insane fragility to any artifact sweeper.
