@chaosfire- your example proves the point that this card's original function was to find instants and sorceries: mystic denial and other sorceries from that set which interact on the opponent's turn have been eratta'd to instants to fix their functionality. Personal tutor originally would have been able to find these cards and has lost that functionality due to wizards selectively updating its wording inconsistently with updating the spell type of the other cards. The counterspell similarly lost functionality this way by only being able to counter sorceries when it would have been able to hit the other cards that have been changed to instants.
If the argument is that the card should function as its printed text indicates- it doesn't do that with other portal cards and there are a host of examples of cards that don't do anything near what is printed.
If the argument is that wiz changed all of these cards to preserve functionality, my first paragraph shows how they did this inconsis... (see all)

I always wondered why this card doesn't see play. Then I noticed the absence of the word 'Instant' everywhere on the card.
Regardless, combos with Miracles, I suppose.

Yeah, it should be changed to include instants and be an instant itself!!
/end sarcasm... 1 mana tutor is still broken no matter how you look at it. Moving on.

@Woozly, it's d-bag comments and attitudes like yours that make people on Gatherer want to gouge their eyes out with their own cards.
