Reveal AEther Searcher as you draft it. Reveal the next card you draft and note its name.

Femme_Fatale on Commander bracket recommendation

It had not been implemented yet as I was asked to try and reduce some of the complexity. I don't think I succeeded.

Tutor:

"search your library for ... card..."
"searches their library for ... card..."
"may search their library for ... card..."
"search target opponent's library for ... card ... you may"
"search target opponent's library for ... card ... that card onto the battlefield under your control"
Exception: Any string that replaces the first elipses that has the words basic, Plains, Forest, Island, Mountain or Swamp.
Exception: Any string that replaces the first elipses that has a period in it.
Exception: Any string that replaces the second elipses that starts with "s named" or " named" or " with the same name"

This should catch instances of multiple cards being tutored. Note the lack of an inclusion of a period at the end for the first three.

All instances of the word "your" can be swapped for "target player" or "each player".

Individual cards: Demonic Consultation, Divining Witch, Emergent Ultimatum, Quiet Speculation, Tunnel Vision

Individual exceptions: AEther Searcher, Boldwyr Heavyweights, Hired Giant

Mass Land Denial:

"sacrifices ... lands"
"return ... lands to their owner's hands."
Exception: If the above ... has "two" or "three" in it for any of them.

"each player ... chooses ... land(s) ... sacrifices the rest."

"lands don't untap"
"players can't untap ... land"
Exception: If the card is instant or sorcery.

All instances of the word "land" dictated as a requirement in the strings above can be swapped for "permanent".

"lands are (land subtype)."

All instances of the word land dictated as a requirement in the strings above can be swapped with "nonbasic land", "Plains", "Forest", "Island", "Mountain" or "Swamp".
All instances of the word "sacrifices" can be swapped for "destroy" or "exile".
All instances of the word "player" can be swapped for "opponent".

A global expection for all Mass Land Denial is made if "nonland" is in any elipses.

Individual cards: Desolation, Equipoise, Hall of Gemstone, Land Equilibrium, Limited Resources, Mana Breach, Mana Vortex, Overburden, Pox, Quicksilver Fountain, Sands of Time, Storm Cauldron, Tangle Wire, Temporal Distortion, Thoughts of Ruin, Wake of Destruction, Ward of Bones, Words of Wind, World Queller

Individual exceptions: Hibernation, Scourglass

Prophet of Kruphix, Cogwork Librarian, AEther Searcher, Agent of Acquisitions, Canal Dredger, Cogwork Spy, Whispergear Sneak, Paliano, the High City, Azor's Elocutors.

I don't want it to seem like drafting straight conspiracy, but I really like the interaction among people they bring.

I like the funky stuff like possibly winning with alt. win con's etc.
