A Tutor is a spell which searches your library for another spell.

Description

Tutoring is primary in black, but other colors can be better at searching for specific card types (and subtypes).

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.

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]

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]

Rules

Lua error in Module:CR at line 501: Index not found! 701.17b.

Types

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]

Searching for cards with specific mana costs

See also: Transmute.

Search for any colored card

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

Search for a multicolored card

Search for a card with the same name as a card in your hand

Search for Artifacts

Blue is the primary color to get any type of artifact. White tends to focus on certain subsets such as Equipment and Vehicles.[4]

Search for an artifact creature

Search for an equipment

Search for a vehicle

Search for Enchantments

White is the color that searches the library for enchantments.[4]

Search for an Aura

Search for a Curse

Search for Planeswalkers

Search for Creatures

Green is the primary color to tutor for creatures.[4][8][9] Sometimes it will even put them directly onto the battlefield. All colors have access to tutoring for specific creature types that are in their color. Red, for example, can tutor for Dragons.

Search for a Green creature

Dragon

Elf

Goblin

Mercenary

Merfolk

Rebel

Sliver

Dinosaur

Miscellaneous

Search for creatures with specific abilities

Search for Instants

When tutoring, the two Instants and Sorceries are often put together and blue seeks them out.[4]

Search for a Trap

Search for a sorcery

Search for an instant or sorcery

Search for an instant or card with flash

Search for an Arcane card

Search for permanent types

Search for Legendary cards

Search for a legendary creature

Search for named cards

Search for named cards (Planeswalker Decks)

These cards are all from Planeswalker Decks and search in the library or in the graveyard for the related planeswalker.

Search for noted cards

Search for a copy

These cards let you search for a card with the same name as another one. (These old cards have had errata removing the word "copy" since they're not copies in the usual sense.)

Search an opponent's Library

Searching for Lands

Green, being one of the colors most closely associated with land and mana, is the best at tutoring for land.[9] 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] See also Fetch lands

Search for Plains

Search for Island

Search for Swamp

Search for Mountain

Search for Forest

Any land with a basic land type

Search for a Snow land

Search for Gate

Search for any basic land
