MB2 #181
Viewing
This card has been in cEDH decks for years, and it's still the most resented one-mana spell at the table because of what it enables, not what it does on its own.

Plays well with
-
Thassa's Oracle
Empty your library with Demonic Consultation, then Thassa's Oracle checks your library size against your devotion and wins on the spot.
-
Laboratory Maniac
Once Demonic Consultation empties your library, drawing your next card with an empty library and Laboratory Maniac in play wins the game instead of losing it.
-
Tainted Pact
Both cards exile your library looking for a named or exiled-duplicate card, and either one can set up the same empty-library kill with Thassa's Oracle.

Demonic Consultation Rulings
- Oct 1, 2008
If you don't reveal the named card (perhaps because it was in the top six cards of your library), you'll end up exiling your entire library. You don't lose the game at that point, but will lose the next time you're instructed to draw a card.
- Oct 1, 2008
You don't name a card until Demonic Consultation resolves.
- Oct 4, 2004
