I'm a proponent of Dark Petition, but I'll concede that (next to Preordain) it's likely the worst card in the deck—not a bad card, but worse than our Great Cards. I run Petition because I really don't like rocking up to a tournament with only four tutors, especially given that they can get Extracted or Surgeried because they're quads. Several pages back there was a debate over Grim Tutor versus Dark Petition, and though I can see the case for Grim, I really don't like it because it's rather inefficient. (N.B.: if you're not running Ad Nauseam and/or you're running Empty in your maindeck, Grim gets better, but I think Petition works better in AdN/Emty-less mainboards.)

I think Togores's business-light plan is a bit too ballsy for me, but I've been considering cutting back on high-costed cards after Worcester. Petition would be the first to go.

Has anybody been running Personal Tutor lately? I didn't get the chance to test it much, but I'm starting to look at it again as a low-cost alternative to Petition. I've also been considering Impulse and Peer through Depths, perhaps as substitutes for Preordain. Anyone tried those out lately/ever?
