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

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

yep , even though it was a 4of in a turbo fog brew this week, i like it as the finisher in control decks, time to brew

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)
