­{b}{b} -> {1}{b}

Hmm. Certainly a space black has played in before - probably not reasonable for tutoring to be common though.

I might certainly push it to uncommon depending how the slots get filled though I would like to playtest it at common before hand if possible. The high volatility of the card feels very fitting for the environment I'm envisioning.

How would you feel about increasing the mana cost to {2}{b}? Would it alleviate the issue at all? I was considering that for a while.

It's currently a strictly worse Plunge into Darkness, which admittedly/obviously is a rare.
