Proteus Staff, re-ordering of library useful?

Probably too slow, but never a bad thing to discuss. In a deck without solid creatures (by solid I mean, no-man lands, non-tokens) or just one creature Proteus Staff has the ability to re-order the library at sorcery speed.
With Triskelion and a way to accumulate infinite turns (re-ordering the library shouldn't make this a problem since you don't rely on what you draw.) you can ping for three each turn.
Somehow the only problems I see is that 1) You need a creature 2) sorcery speed.
But lots of things can benefit from this... Erratic Explosion, Goblin Charbelcher... and last of all man-lands aka Mishra's Factory, Conclave don't get hit by this.
Thoughts...? Probably ill just get bragged.

Certainly you could restack your library for a big Charbelcher, even putting a mountain as the top land in your deck. All you need is to play Staff, Charbelcher, and a creature (the only one in your deck). At best it's a 4-4-1 combo where Staff is pretty dead by itself and Charbelcher, depending on your deck, may be decent or good.
You could try this in combo without the Charbelcher just to set up a win. But then you have to incorporate Staff and a creature into a combo deck, besides which this is too slow for combo. I guess the best place this would be is in control, but then you need to play a creature to use it and control tends to win once it has a creature in play anyway.
I don't understand the point about Triskelion and infinite turns. If there was an easy way to generate infinite turns, you wouldn't need this card to make it work.
