This is [[primary]] [[blue]].<ref name="Color Pie 2017"/> Occasionally red may search out red instants and sorceries (usually to get things like direct damage spells).

A Tutor is a spell which searches your library for another card.
Description
Tutoring is primary in black, but other colors can be better at searching for specific card types (and subtypes).
Enchantments, Planeswalkers, Equipments, and Vehicles
Instants, Sorceries, and Artifacts
Creatures and Lands
You do not have to find the card and put it in your library. If you do choose to find cards, you must reveal those cards to all players if it searches for a specific card type.
R&D has stopped creating tutoring keywords like transmute and transfigure.[1] They don't like to do too much tutoring, as it can lead to repetition of play, where games play out too similarly.[2][3] Lands are exempt from the repetition angle, but not the shuffling and logistics problem. However, the seek mechanic from Jumpstart: Historic Horizons is designed-for-digital and circumvents this.
A special kind of tutor are the wishes, which may search for cards outside of the game.
Search from top N cards of library
To cut down on shuffling, R&D has started to do more effects where you "tutor" just from a handful of cards from the top of your library, usually four or five. Anything else that colors can do is what they can do here.[4][5][6]
Types
Search for any card
Alpha had the card Demonic Tutor, which locked black in as the primary color to tutor for any type of card. Philosophically, blue is the better color to have this ability, but so far no changes have been made.[4]
- Ayara's Oathsworn
- Behold the Beyond
- Beseech the Mirror
- Bounty of the Deep
- Bringer of the Black Dawn (allows you to Vampiric Tutor each upkeep)
- Burning-Rune Demon (Different names, one into graveyard)
- Coveted Prize
- Cruel Tutor
- Dark Petition
- Demonic Bargain (exile the top thirteen cards of your library first)
- Demonic Collusion - the only tutor with buyback
- Demonic Tutor
- Diabolic Intent (requires the sacrifice of a creature as an additional cost)
- Diabolic Tutor
- Diabolic Revelation
- Dig Up (Cleaved)
- Entomb (puts the card in your graveyard rather than your hand)
- Fervent Mastery (get three, discard three at random)
- Final Parting (search for two cards and one of them goes in the graveyard)
- Gamble (may discard the card you tutored)
- Grim Tutor
- Hoarding Broodlord (exile it facedown, you may play it)
- I Call Upon the Ancient Magics (Scheme)
- Illicit Shipment
- Imperial Seal
- Increasing Ambition
- Infernal Tutor (Hellbent only)
- Insidious Dreams (requires the discard of cards as an additional cost)
- Intuition (choose 3 cards, opponent chooses which you get - can be 3 copies of the same card)
- Johnny, Combo Player (only un-card tutor)
- Liliana Vess
- Long-Term Plans
- Maralen of the Mornsong (forces everyone to Grim Tutor every turn rather than draw)
- Mastermind's Acquisition
- Oriq Loremage (repeatable, puts in graveyard)
- Planar Portal
- Profane Tutor
- Razaketh's Rite
- Razaketh, The Foulblooded
- Rhystic Tutor
- Ringsight (shares a color with a legendary creature you control)
- Ring of Three Wishes
- Rune-Scarred Demon
- Tamiyo's Journal
- Unmarked Grave (non-legendary, puts in graveyard)
- Vampiric Tutor
- Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire (via boast ability)
- Wishclaw Talisman (repeatable, side-switching tutor artifact)
Specific mana costs
- See also: Transmute.
- Behold My Grandeur (Scheme - mana value 6 or greater)

Color
- Conflux (a white card, a blue card, a black card, a red card, and a green card)

Creatures with specific abilities
Searching for lands
Green, being one of the colors most closely associated with land and mana, is the best at tutoring for land.[10] It occasionally will put them directly onto the battlefield. The other four colors are allowed to occasionally tutor for their own basic land type.[4] Lately, white is getting more tutoring for a plains as a catch-up feature when it's behind on land.[8]

Search for instants and sorceries
When tutoring, the two instants and sorceries are often put together. This is primary blue.[4] Occasionally red may search out red instants and sorceries (usually to get things like direct damage spells). As "spells matter" has become a common blue-red archetype, R&D has started letting red do this.[8]
