Monastery Mentor also helps turn some of the decks dead draws, like multiple copies of Sensei's Divining Top and Grindstone, into tokens.

P.S.
It's always a pleasure to see you stream, Jack.
That's really funny. I was just watching the Vs video today on SCG and was thinking about the exact same thing. How many times have you searched for it with a recruiter? That's one of the most appealing things for me as well. I do think that you would probably want to side into more instants in order to protect it from something like a bolt, etc. Mentor certainly does combo well with multiple tops though. I think it's worth testing. Doesn't really fit with our game plan but you could certainly improve the beat down plan plan against decks like 12 post. He also stabilizes the battlefield quickly as well which could be very helpful.
