academy does not see much play in legacy and unless classic magically gets a kick in the butt or vintage actually comes out sometime relatively soon i would say trade now for as much as possible...
I like fun, but competitive decks.  So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Possible speculation (hold):  Yagmoth's Will, Time Spiral

Buy four of while cheap/hold:  Sneak Attack (see Eldrazi), Exploration, Show and Tell, Back to Basics, Ill-Gotten Gains, Meltdown, Planar Void, Priest of Titania

Sell -- everything else

Uh... "much play in Legacy"?

It doesn't see any.  It's banned in legacy and restricted in classic

Might be good in the future.. bad right now.  Not worth the prices it is currently demanding.

What deck uses it?  Online does not have either Mishra's Workshop or Tangle Wire.  It will obviously crash before going back up.

Off topic:

I just finished a Sealed Release Tournament.  In my boosters I had an Exploration.  I built a green/red deck which included Exploration.  I never drew the Exploration.

You'd think that in four rounds and eight to twelve games, you'd at least see the card in your hand once!

I disagree. With the exception of Back to Basics and Show and Tell, all these cards have been falling steadily since release.

Isn't that the "normal" pattern for classic sets? They start out high and slowly drop during the release events as the supply increases faster than people are interested in buying. After the release events, when the supply becomes fairly static, they start rising again. I am referring only to singles that might appear in a tournament deck.
