Always happy to see another tutor.

As everyone has said, this seems insane in EDH.
I could easily see someone casting this to get the final piece of an infinite mana combo and proceeding to flash it back to grab win cons like exsanguinate

Mm. This card is only better than Diabolic Tutor when you can cast it from the grave. And that costs 8 MANA, HOLY COW. In something like EHD, that's not bad. But for standard, and many other game types, the game will be over by then.

I think that most of this card's value will come from EDH players, as you essentially get to search for 3 cards from 1. That's insane, even if spread over multiple turns. Cabal Coffers, Magus of the Coffers, Nirkana Revenant make it incredibly easy to get black mana in EDH. It's conceivable that you could cast this card, flashback it, and cast all three cards you searched for in the same turn.
Every single deck that has black should play a copy, because the mana cost is very easy on multicolor mana bases.
I also like this card because it is balanced, but still powerful when used in conjunction with your silver bullets.
Easy 5/5 from me.

Even in standard, there are very few cards black would rather be drawing late game other than this.

Holy feces, this card is broken. This will obviously be an EDH staple. And it will see play in Standard. Those who don't think games of Standard will ever last until someone has 8 mana are clearly aggro players.
This card will probably be a 1-2 of in multiple control decks (UB, MBC, Esper, etc...). At midgame, it finds the answer you need to stay alive until the late game. Late game, it finds your win condition plus a board sweeper (or other answer). Or two win conditions to fight through countermagic in a control mirror.
I could also see it showing up in a ramp deck, like the B/G Wolf Run deck Conley Woods took down a GP with. Primeval Titan to get enough lands, then tutor up two more two more Titans (or Titan and BSZ).

The point of EDH is to non-standarize your draws. You are supposed to use cards that work so synergistically with your general that your only deck strategy should be to have your general in play when you cast the spell or any other spell. in your deck.
tutors take the randomness (and whole point of the format) out of EDH. That said, it's still powerful And I'm still going to rate it high.

Yep, one copy goes into every black EDH deck out there, I believe.
