Demonic Collusion

A tutor that refuses to leave your hand: that is the whole design proposition. Demonic Tutor set the baseline for unconditional black tutoring, where two mana finds any card but the spell vanishes after one use. The buyback clause here rewrites that contract by letting you pay in cardboard rather than mana. Discard two, resolve, and the spell returns, ready to fetch again next turn. The trade is steep and deliberately so: the buyback price is paid in raw card count, which means you are converting two cards in hand into one card from your library plus a recurring engine. That sounds like a losing exchange until you notice what kind of deck wants it. The cards you pitch are not random; they are flashback spells, dredge cards, threats with graveyard recursion, or simply chaff in a deck that has already drawn its action. In those builds the discards are upside, not cost, and the tutor becomes a reusable assembler that pulls one piece of a combo or lock each turn until the engine is online. The five-mana sorcery-speed body keeps it honest in fair decks: too slow to be a tempo play, too expensive to be a casual filter, it earns its slot only where the buyback loop is the point rather than a luxury. It is tutoring built for the long game, priced for the player who intends to cast it more than once.
