Oh, it's such much more fun than that. I love this card so much.

With Spell Mastery:
It's Demonic Tutor (pay 5, get 3 back, net cost of 2) or
It's Diabolic Tutor + Dark Ritual (net cost of 5, same effects)

It fakes being 3 different cards (at least two of which are likely never going to see a reprint), does an effect that has been done before but with a different focus (typically, at least in the games I play, you play a tutor, go and grab something big and awesome, and plan to cast it next turn. With this you're pulled to go and grab something small and effective and immediately play it, kind of a 'Pay 5, put target 3 drop from your deck into play'). It's two effects are wildly different and yet incredibly synergistic.

It's also completely playable without Spell Mastery (1 cost more Diabolic Tutor which, while not a great card, is definitely playable).

I love this card so much. Such an incredible bit of design, packaged in a way that doesn't draw a huge amount of attention to itself.
