No, Camelslayer, you are wrong. The trivia is baloney and needs to be removed.

Archangel's Staff is vastly inferior to the Deathcap for AP purposes. Since the Deathcap gives 182 AP for 3600 gold (19.78g per AP, AT LEAST), an Archangel's needs to give 144 AP just to match the gold/AP ratio. The staff comes with 45 base, meaning you need over 3000 max mana just to tiegame the Deathcap by itself. This is obviously impossible, not even Anivia at level 18 with a maxed Archangel's is capable of it, you need other mana items.

Nothing beats Deathcap for getting as much AP as cheaply as possible. Just because the Deathcap is more effective with other AP items, does not mean that it's ineffective by itself. You cannot beat its AP/cost ratio, it is the best item for the job.
