"(trading card games) To search one's deck for one or more other cards." Other than what? If this proves to be real, the etymology would be good to have. Equinox ◑ 12:14, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Equinox Apparently a card other than the card that one plays in order to 'tutor'. [1] [2] Tutor cards are, so it seems, a class of spell/support cards in Magic the Gathering.
←₰-→Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:37, 9 May 2019 (UTC) - The original Magic: The Gathering set had Demonic Tutor as a card, and they continued the theme with further tutors. That's the etymology.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:20, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- I doubt the verb form is citable, looking at Google Books and Google Groups. I've added a cite to the noun form, which would pass.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:35, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
