Grim Tutor

Solve The Equation Naming

Why isn't solve the equation a tutor in name like idyllic tutor or grim tutor?

Not all tutors have to have the word “tutor” in their name.

Understanding Reprints

What goes into the decision making when reprints are considered? Mana Crypt is one of my favorite cards, but why is it getting reprinted yet again, while a card like Grim Tutor, a much needed and desired card, still hasn't been?

While there is talk between designers on products to make sure they’re not doing the same reprint too close to one another, most decisions are based within the context of that set.

Card Reprint Decisions

There are tons and tons of cards with only one printing that most players would like to get more of. The tutors from the Portal sets, Grim Tutor and Goblin Settler from Starter, etc. Is there a reason these have yet to get reprinted, even in a supplementary set?

We have a list of cards we think players want and are always looking for places to put them.

Cost of Tutors

"Over the last ten years, R&D has weakened a lot of things black has historically done well." If naught else, Black could stand to have a boundless tutor for less than 4 cmc. I'd play Grim Tutor in a heartbeat, or Imperial Seal. Heck, I'd play Imperial Seal reworked at 2B, I don't care. Tutors are so staple Black, and now they cost so very much :( If Black is struggling as you put it, could one not reinstate Things That Worked for Black from the past, and then see how it plays out?

The cost a lot because they need to. Tutors in general take away the variance that helps Magic be so fun by having games play out differently.
