Profane Tutor

Demonic Tutor's rate is one of the sharpest numbers in the game: two mana, any card, no strings. This is what happens when you buy that same search with time instead of tempo. The suspend cost of totals the same two mana as the original, but you pay it in full to exile the card with two time counters on it, then wait. Two upkeeps later the last counter comes off, and the tutor resolves the way any cast sorcery does: the search does not fire the instant the counter is removed, so an opponent still gets a window to respond before the card lands in your hand. The empty printed mana cost is the mechanical tell that gates it: a card with no cost cannot be cast from hand, so suspend is the only route it has. That is the whole balancing lever. You commit to the search two turns before it resolves, and anyone watching the exile zone knows a tutor is coming and can build around the delay. Where Demonic Tutor answers the problem on the turn it appears, this answers a problem you can see arriving: black's premier search rebuilt for a slower clock, priced for a world where a two-turn wait on card selection is a real cost and a telegraphed one.
