The tutor card (finds specific card) is usually considered mandatory in combo decks. I run one fewer. Instead I run an extra cycle card (draw and discard). This increases the 'find combo by turn 8' probability by 6% because cycle cards are generically useful early and the tutor dead-draws in non-combo states.
