Part of a cycle that features the almost-as-broken Gaea's Cradle and somehow the hilariously unbroken Shivan Gorge, Tolarian Academy taps to make a mana for each artifact you control, which led to decks that would dump their entire hand of cheap artifacts, make a ton of mana by tapping and maybe untapping Tolarian Academy, and then use big card-draw spells like Windfall and Stroke of Genius to refill before eventually milling the opponent out with Stroke of Genius, potentially all on Turn 1
As a bonus to Leatherhead, Swamp Stalker, it also has trample, meaning the chances of it dealing player damage as a 5/4 creature are already high, and that's before you put any additional counters on it.
