Flavor

In flavor, I think that "raw power" is better represent by pure card advantage, were as knowledge is having the right answer(s) at the right moment.

Notes

Actually, I would like to reduce shuffling in general so instead of tutors I would have more cards like Dig Through Time.

This shift also indicates an increase in general draw effects in .

I think blue losing its card advantage powers would negatively impact the color as a whole without a major reshuffling and rebalancing of abilities. Right now, the majority of blue's removal and interaction are one-for-one or worse tradeoffs, or just temporary removal i.e. bounce/Time Ebb. Furthermore, by giving the card advantage to black, you indirectly buff Black/Green as a color combination - essentially, not only would they be the 2nd best two-color combo in terms of answers (second to only white/black, which also gets a boost), but they'd be 1st in card advantage.

These would likely be just bigger versions of stuff like Anticipate and other cantrips that has been using habitually. I don't even necessary think this would decrease 's card drawing that much...

I really don't see how losing tutors would somehow push it over the limit. Sure, it might have a slightly larger selection of draw spells but losing tutors, to me at least, seems like a bad deal from that perspective.

It's also worth of note that tutors are usually of uncommon+ rarity so this would not effect limited much (though those "big Ancipate" spells could probably be common).
