Finally, a tutor that puts the card into your
hand instead of on top of your library. Combo
decks and enchantment decks of all sorts will
want this. In Limited, I'm not sure you can
depend on getting a lot of enchantments, but
some of the best removal in white, green, and
blue are enchantments, and it's in the third
pack so you'd probably know if you wanted it by
the time it comes around, so it could be useful
there too.

A slightly weakened Enlightened Tutor, as even
though this goes straight to your hand, it is
much slower. It's still good, however, as there
are lots of juicy things in Standard and
Extended to tutor up. With this, you can go find
your Counterbalance, Sacred Mesa, tomorrow's
card, etc. You could also try the new
Declaration of Naught, but, at least right now,
Counterbalance is probably better than that.
Outside of Standard and Extended, however, there
is no reason to play this in constructed, as you
have the superior Enlightened Tutor.
In limited, if you have a good enchantment like
tomorrow's card (figured out what it is yet?),
then this is an auto-include. Otherwise, don't
bother.

I very nearly did a spit-take when I saw this
card in the Morningtide card list - could it
have any less to do with the block's themes? In
Standard, it searches for Teferi's Moat,
Oblivion Ring, and Seal of Primordium, which
seems like a reasonable start for a quirky
control deck. In Extended, there are even more
enchantments, but Enduring Ideal is probably
better because it ends the game in short order.
I seriously doubt I'd ever play this in limited
unless I had an Oblivion Ring that I thought I
wouldn't ever see.
Constructed: 2/5

This will see play for a while because great
cards like enlightened tutor are not around
more. At sorcery speed and for 3, I don't think
it will even see a lot of play. However, an
enchantment based deck is bound to surface in
block or standard. With Hoofprints and the white
enchantress, something has to break.
