Cards with Tutor Effects
Just because I felt like it, I made a challenge. This challenge is about making cards with some sort of "tutor" effect. A tutor effect is an effect on a card that lets you search your library for a card, then do something with it, like put it in your hand, the top of your library, your graveyard, or somewhere else. Some rules:
-Must have at least one tutor effect involved.
-Minimum of one entry, maximum of three entries.
-No inappropriate artwork.
-No exact clones of real cards.
Some tips on creating a card:
-You don't have to have "Tutor" in the card's name.
-Don't be afraid to think outside the box!
-It doesn't have to be an instant or sorcery to be a tutor. In fact, there aren't any restrictions on what card type a tutor can be. Heck, you could even submit a basic land if you really wanted to! (Though there wouldn't be very many options there)
-Try not to make the card overpowered or underpowered.
-I will allow you to make an Un-card of you really want to.
Now for some final things:
-Rough deadline is January 17th, 2016. It may change.
-For the prizes, I'll talk about them with the top three entries.

#3: Henko the Alchemist by @cadstar369- This card is really, really interesting. I like the usage of Transmute, (though I had to look up what Transmute was when I saw the card) and it's really powerful in the right situation. The only thing I would change is... nothing.
#2: Tutor's Response by @Animist- This card seems like something that would be printed and used in the game. Worst case-scenario it's the same as Cancel, but when you're playing a deck similar to yours (which almost never happens), it turns into a strong card.
And now, the number one option...
#1: Blade of a Thousand Pains by @Tomigon- I am in love with this card! Its gameplay is strong and the card is flavorful. The effect is one not seen on most cards, but for some reason, my favorite part of the card is the life cost thrown in, which not only enhances the flavor, but also adds more of a cost to an otherwise powerful card.
Now for some other cards I liked, but weren't in the top three:
Oath of Sorin by @tiagoabner
Bloodreader Oracle by @MrRansom
Again, thanks for participating!
Uhm... setting the deadline for the 17th then closing it on the 5th, two days after it started because of a lack of entries... uh. Yea. I was going to participate, but I was assuming we had plenty of time.
Some things just need some time to get going, that was a tad premature ._.
It actually seems like a lot of people participated in just a few days
Sorry about not being able to enter, guys. This was my first challenge and I'll do better next time about when to close it. Again, my apologies.
