Absorbing Man this is pretty good

pretty much just the latter. in Timeless, the arena vintage-lite format where all your cards are fetchable islands it's still mostly useful on turn one. it's really really strong but there are so many games where it's just a Wastes and those are the games where you might want to tutor for...
