Interested to see your results.

I see ETutor as "Skip your next draw step. Get Underworld Breach." A cantrip without selection is "Replace this card plus get another draw step". Are 2 random draw steps better than getting Underworld Breach?

If you're playing a fair, grindy, 1-for-1 play style with counters and removal and don't mind waiting till turn 6-10 to go off after many trades, maybe the 2 cards are better. I pilot this as a combo deck, so I would think drawing the exact right card is better than drawing 2 random cards.

*ETutor can also find LED, mill (Grinding Station), protection (Grid), or Serenity, but for me at least 60% of the time it's just finding Underworld Breach. Breach is the only piece that needs to be in hand and the #1 thing they will counter or discard if they have any idea what you're up to, so I usually find myself wanting to be able to dig to another Breach.
