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]
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]
- Behold the Beyond
- 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 Collusion - the only tutor with buyback
- Demonic Tutor
- Diabolic Intent (requires the sacrifice of a creature as an additional cost)
- Diabolic Tutor
- Diabolic Revelation
- 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
- 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
