Emeritus of Woe is a trap.

Right now Emeritus of Woe is the most expensive card in Secrets of Strixhaven (excluding mystical archive.) Do I think the card is good? Yes. Do I think it warrants the $33 price tag? No, and I want to break down why-

  • 6 total mana is needed to cast her and tutor.

  • To tutor again you will need to have her to survive 2 additional turn cycles.

  • The first turn cycle you will need two other creatures to die, which isn't hard to do, but is situational. That does require setup. Are we expecting to sac 2 creatures every single turn? I mean, it's very possible but again, situational.

  • There's just an abundance of better tutors for a sacrifice deck- Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Intent, Vampiric tutor, Hoarding Broodlord, etc.

I'm just confused by this price tag. It's a good card, but I don't believe it's CEDH good. It feels more like a casual card IMO and that's ok. Does that mean it will hold the $33 price long term? I personally would be offloading this asap.
