I don't think having a replacement effect on an instant really works.

It definitely needs "this turn" somewhere in there.

Otherwise, this is pretty much Praetor's Grasp that requires you to "nullify" an opponent's tutor effect. It's kinda awkward if you ask me.

Replacement effects work on instants if they have "This turn" or similar. Things like Plagiarize or Flames of the Blood Hand.

This is indeed... narrow. But the upside vs Praetor's Grasp is that it does nullify their search effect. Good in response to a fetchland or Diabolic Tutor or Hour of Promise. Great in response to From Beyond or Eldritch Evolution or a search-onto-battlefield planeswalker ultimate like Samut, the Tested.

I think because it's so narrow it could cost 2, though.

I think Shadow of Doubt is a good comparison point.

You guys were right, intention was Shadow of Doubt + Praetor's Grasp. I reduced it to UB and added 'this turn' to the templating.
