Just trying out a crazy idea I had with my love of the Jeskai coloring combination and Sphinx's Tutelage in general. This card made my nipples hard the first time I saw it at the Origins Pre-Release. Lots of draw triggers and hopefully enough to keep the game alive to allow me to mill it down. Planar Outburst and Radiant Flames are solid board wipes and with a Soulfire Grand Master out, it can turn into significant life gain to prolong the game. I've found that once tutelage is out and you can start its engine, it's only a matter of time. Sometimes it can be tough with the popularity of Dark Jeskai right now and hitting same colors. Surge of Righteousness will take out Mantis Riders and Siege Rhinos too because why not?
