Still pretty decent cost for this effect. Often beseech the queen or infernal tutor are better but:
-This is very easy to use
-This is straightforward
-You still don't reveal the card
-Multi-color works
Making it quite usable.

I think Diabolic Tutor was fun and all, but it's just kind of weakish. . Searching is COOL, but 4 mana is kind of a hard price to sell it at.
2 Mana is outrageous and stupid and too much-- Unless! You slam a nice, hefty restriction on it.
But Black is the color of unrestricted tutoring at the price of any resources, up to and including half its life total. A Restricted Black Tutor doesn't make a lot of sense. Disentomb is nice, but it only gets creatures, not spells. Disentomb for Enchantments out of the Graveyard has never been done before: I'd love to see it :)
3 Mana Tutoring Designed for Standard, to be at Rare instead of Uncommon. I want to see a card like THAT replace Diabolic in the next Core Set.

I like to think that the skeleton is whispering third-grade-level dirty jokes (about bodily functions like poop etc.)
Searching anything with no drawback at sorcery speed for 4 mana is reasonable. I feel that the core set tutor spot could be revised to make it actually worthwhile to play in standard and limited environments. That aside, this is good for finding what you need to win late game, especially if the win condition is a one-of. In Commander, this is effectively a second Demonic Tutor, since mana is so unimportant in comparison to finding what you need. In short: it's not terribly impressive, but it is at least playable.
I like DarthParallax's idea something like
Abysmal tutor {1}{B}{B}
Sorcery
You may cast Abysmal tutor whenever you could cast an Instant by paying an additional {2}
Whenever you cast Abysmal tutor, you lose life equal to your life total minus the number of swamps you control.
Search your library for any card and put that card into your hand. Then shuffle ... (see all)
