2025 - Cheer CheerBADCARDNAME CheerBADCARDNAME is a simple reference to the positive holiday spirit, depicting a beverage that has apparently been given some sentience and using a pair of dice as eyes (in "snake eyes" position to look more human-like)
My guess is that many people sending big lots of unsorted, mixed-rarity cards (especially from more recent sets that don't have many high-value commons or uncommons) will probably come out ahead by excluding bulk rather than hoping that they have enough valuable commons and uncommons to make it worth paying the fee, especially considering Card Conduit will still look for high-end cards like Aether Vials and Eternal Witnesss that might have accidentally slipped into your draft chaff, even if you chose the exclude-bulk option
Effectively, this a blue ramp spell, since it does put you ahead of curve if you cast it on your third (or even second turn thanks to a turn one Sol Ring)
There are already a few cards in the deck that Scry, but just having Elrond around for his second ability means you get to draw more cards and outvalue your opponents
A paper version of Grim Tutor has cost over $100 for the last decade and currently costs somewhere around $200, making its reprint in Core Set 2021 especially potent.
