Tutors are nice for netting you a card you want. For two mana and a piddling investment in life, this gets you five cards you want, in the order you want.
Maybe this Lim-Dul guy is on to something.

Interestingly enough, if the number of cards in your library is not divisible by 5, with infinite life you could get any 5 cards and put them on top of your library with enough filtering. Of course by that point you should have already won the game...
The card itself though is very powerful and captures the essence of blue in library manipulation and black self-destructive win-at-all-costs mechanics.

Even at about a 4.1, this card is tragically underrated.

Perfect for any deck that needs to find the right cards during the game. Imagine, if you spent 5 life during resolution, you have already searched half of your library and stacked 5 cards you need and might need next turn. This card being an instant makes it great. No question, it's a 5-star card for me.

One life?
I guess the lesson they learned from Necropotence was a hair too late to help them with Alliances.

Played a Sedris, the Traitor King EDH a while back, and I would giggle with joy every time this was in my opening hand. This is an amazing card, especially when you're in a format where you have more life than you know what to do with. Easily a 5/5

This card needs to be in every single UB EDH deck ever run. It's usefulness in a 100-card, single-copy format cannot be overstated.
Just beautiful. 5/5.

This was the card I was excited to get when I didn't get a Force of Will or Balduvian Horde.
Alliances was pretty awesome.
