Putting a 2$ card in your deck is usually better than first player advantage, no?

If that $2 is courtyard, probably.
If that $2 is pearl diver, probably not.

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

Hound
Types: Action
Cost: $2
+1 Action
Reveal a card from your hand.
Reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a copy of that card; put it in your hand and discard the rest.

Donald has mentioned that a "Demonic Tutor" (a card that digs for a card of your choice) is something that can't be priced.
So, here's my attempt to do one that works at a low price ($2 or $3). What do you people think? Is it fine, or does it have to be nerfed further? Limit the digging to action cards, for example?

Also, is it entirely clear that, no, you don't have to discard the card you revealed from your hand?


It's called Infernal Tutor.

It's called Infernal Tutor.
It's called Demonic Tutor, because Donald was playing Magic for a long time and WotC have made "strictly better" an art form.

I was referring to the fact that pacovf's card also has to reveal a card from hand to tutor for it.

Yeah, so my point is that if a 2$ card gives you lots of hand info and that's better than first player advantage then that just means the 2$ card is better than Pearl Diver so not an issue.

TBH, I'm still not sure what your point is. Seeing your opponent's cards is better than first player advantage, because putting a $2 card in your deck is better than first player advantage, uh... because seeing your opponent's cards is better than first player advantage?

I'm also pretty sure that first player advantage is more important than seeing your opponent's cards.
