I like what I heard here, from shazzeh, that it's an unexpected win condition for a control deck. You pick control, and Tutelage takes the place of Silumgar

I've done 3 drafts now. This card i've been big on but honestly thought it fell to into the "doesn't affect the battlefield card" too much to be considered a good card. Draft#1 I knew Sphinx's Tutelage was strong in limited. after my opp milled me without playing a creature. Draft #2 In my 2nd draft my table had 0 Tutelage's but the other table had a couple, the tutelage drafter spiked his pod and i think lost in the crosspod finals Draft #3 I only wanted to try it as a gimmick. so I did and the results were impressive. all this after i moved in mid pack 2 and was hurting for playables that i had to splash green to make 22 playable cards. which was the color i dropped when i moved in I don't have my exact 40 but it had 2 Sphinx's Tutelage , 3 Returned Centaur and 1 dreadwaters Dreadwaters is narrow and i'd rather have another blocker or returned centaur but as i said i was scrapping the barrel for cards. still went 3-1 with this mess. So come this week at GP Dallas (look for me at the feature match with Sphinx's Tutelage. Ill be in the main event) I will make a guarantee you will see esteemed pro's using this card and drafting it in day 2. maybe not at GP but for sure at the Pro tour. I'm making a projection that right now you can pass the tutelage for a better looking card in hopes of wheeling it but after the pro tour maybe before it will be a high pick that you don't pass often. maybe even a P1P1. Some of you probably already know the power of this. Some haven't witnessed it in action and are skeptics. maybe some have and just disagree. |

One anecdotal case is no proof, but my Elves deck smashed the Tutelage deck it faced. Hard. Neither game 1 nor 2 was close, but we played a third anyway ... and it wasn't close either. |

I think it's certainly *viable*. It's a hard to answer win con. Although both G and W can easily deal with it (possibly post board). It seems like a decent beat down deck would just kill you... but has to get around Guardians of Melitis |

The mill deck can work, but can also get completely trounced. I had fun playing red/blue artifacts and blue/green big butts feat. Tutelage this past weekend. |

Mill isn't an archetype, it's one of several win conditions for the control archetype. |

Yeah I drafted a UB deck with few win cons, no tutelage, and just let the opponent draw themselves to death (I had a Returned Centaur which I managed to cast twice thanks to Possessed Skaab). Tutelage might be good to speed the game along and give them less chance of drawing into their answers, but any long-game-focused card will work (I had a Thopter Spy Network in my deck) |
