Tutor Usage Philosophy

New 06 Nov 2018 Asked by kycygni3 33 Comments

Your retort against tutors is that Magic needs to play differently per game. This irritates me, because my ideal use of a tutor is PRECISELY to find a different card every time. To put in a Knight of Autumn for the degenerate artifact deck, or a Gaddock Teeg, or a Renegade Rallier to equalize the boardstate, or whatever. Silver bullets don't work without tutors. Why let a degenerate linear strategy ruin design it for all the fun tutor people?


Unfortunately, we have to act on how the majority of players use a certain resource when deciding how often to use it. Note that we still make tutors, just not in the same volume we once did.

Preemptive Answers Defense

I know you're not a developer, but what do you think about cards like Gaddock Teeg that outright makes your opponent unable to play the game? Similarly to infest, land destruction and some other cards. I think it's terrible design.


I believe, as long as they are kept in check, preemptive answers have a place in Magic.
