Why does no one play Diabolic Intent in competitive formats?
[[Diabolic Intent]] has been in standard since Brothers War. Tutoring is, in theory, one of the more powerful things you can do in Magic. Yet this cheap, powerful tutor doesn’t appear in virtually any competitive deck in any of the formats it’s legal in. Sacrificing a creature is a big cost, but there are good aristocrats decks in various formats. Rakdos sacrifice was a tier 1-1.5 deck in pioneer for years and no one ran Diabolic Intent. An enchantment-oriented Rakdos sacrifice deck is moderately competitive in standard right now and no one runs Diabolic Intent. What gives?
