Awesome card, but that's obvious. Unfortunately, I don't really have too much of a use for it, as a casual player. I'll probably wind up selling or trading mine if I get one.

I don't really like the art. It's too colourful for a black card imo. Maybe I'm just being picky. They can't all be super dark.
The cards still epic though. It's funny because at first glance, you wouldn't think this is OP.

Greatness, hopefully at less of a cost.

There's always that moment in a young Magic player's mind when they become more than a beginner. It's the moment when you realize the "Greatness" rather than the "Cost".
If anyone pays attention to my previous comments, they'll know I only play EDH and Limited. They're not the best formats for understanding the "Greatness", since you've never seen it in action.
So when I first heard of this card, I thought it was nothing special. "Ok... what's wrong with Dark Tutelage? Why isn't that $10 or so?". It's the usual thinking most players start with. Losing life is a big thing, especially when you rationalize that you could lose 12 life drawing a Blightsteel Colossus (the Boogeyman of Magic: everyone's heard of him and fears him).
But then it clicked, like it clicks for everyone eventually. "You don't play it with anything more than 3-cost. You get an attacker/blocker and a card, all for 
."
So for those who are giving those who don't think th... (see all)

Bob Maher once got killed by his own Dark Confidant and a pair of Force of Wills.

People who don't get why he's so much more sought than Phyrexian Arena or Dark Tutelage aren't getting how critically card advantage relates to tempo. Getting your card advantage on turn three vs turn four could really mean the difference between winning and losing.

@Paleopaladin
Then why not run Demonic Tutor over this? Same mana curve, gives you exactly the card you want, thirty dollars cheaper at least.
I've had this same discussion about Sovereign vs Blind obedience. Those two are on the same mana curve, Obedience is harder to remove, and gives the extra ability of extort. Yet Sovereign is more sought after. people say it's the 2/1 for two creature that gives it it's edge, and I'm willing to bet that that's the reason why people think Dark Confidant is better than dark tutelage.
What I don't get is that 2/1's can be knocked out by pretty much every known type of creature removal, which is almost always rampant in all decks. The price difference between this and tutelage is grossly more vast though and it perplexes me.
