This card is interesting, but IMHO it's too expensive. Even the combos you can make in the end are very expensive.
Concerning the artwork, yes it's very good, but not one of my favourite.

Works well with Consecrated Sphinx and Library of leng.

I put this card in my Reanimator EDH deck. Very powerful combo card in the deck. I just wish I had Sheoldred, Whispering One as my General. Discard 2 creature cards, search for Beacon of Unrest, bring back Nirkana Revenant and Bloodgift Demon, ???, Profit!

For a fun time, keep searching up and subsequently pitching Madness cards.

Much rather play Insidious Dreams. For Black cheaper, and at instant speed, you can discard two cards to find 2 other cards, getting you a very similar effect to this one.

Sure, they go to the top of your library, but you're probably playing it at the end of your opponent's turn anyway, and you don't have to pay the (higher) cost twice, like you do with this card. Not bad, still okay in EDH, but there are probably better options.

If you tutor up something that can draw you cards over time, you can tutor up whatever without worrying about hand size. Also acts as a good discard outlet for graveyard strategies. With the cost being 5 mana it's pretty much just an EDH or casual card, but, it really shines there.

4/5

Like the card it is an homage to, Demonic Tutor, you do not have to reveal the card to your opponents. Even without its buyback, it's a slightly overpriced Diabolic Tutor, which is not bad. But the buyback is an excellent recurring madness and reanimation enabler, especially since black has so many ways to draw extra cards to use as fodder. I run a single copy in my WhiteBlack reanimator deck, and often discard two targets to search up a Dread Return or the like.
