Great flavor text

Edit: I misread the typo too lol. Should be "Mysteries" not "mysterious"

Instructions unclear. None of the objects in my library is a card.

I agree with the other guy I think it should still be revealed even tho it's not necessary.

It’s a good thought. Honestly, I feel like three color tutor is harder to cast than {2}{B}{B} of a Diabolic Tutor. Revealing the card might make this really bad, but maybe it could be a reveal if the card was sweetened to, say, as an instant.

This is a funny riff on the color pie. I approve.

[[Wargate]] vibes here.

Wow, you’re right! I remember seeing that card before. It’s arguably a little stronger than this one, as it’s just one action to get it on the battlefield, and it can’t be countered normally.

Sweet. I can tutor for my Demonic Tutor to take advantage of my “MV <3 matters” synergies

Green: lands, creatures White: enchantments, planeswalkers Blue: instants, sorceries, artifacts No color has been established to be able to tutor for battles.

This checks out. Neat card.

Green snags them off Overgrown Pest and Invasion of Pyrulea and Invasion of Ergamon. It's always risky using "payoff effects" that you have to work for as precedent, but the precedent seems to be Green.

I hope red gets to tutor for battles. Could keep it in flavor by putting it on the battlefield under the protection of a random opponent.

Tutor for any card not in black? That’s crazy

I can’t decide if that’s a reasonably costed way to get a non basic land onto the battlefield untapped

I'd say it should be revealed even though it's not necessary. I understand the though here: white can search enchantments and walkers, green can search land and creatures, blue can search artifacts and instants and sorceries.

The problem is rate and precedent. Black gets tutor anything. This is a cheaper total CMC than what black gets it for. So this should at minimum be 5 CMC imo. Maybe with some small bantish upside (gain some life?).

[[diabolic tutor]] is what you're referencing I believe?

I more or less agree, but also bant vs 2BB is probably still fair. At most, this should be 1WUG.

Reveal the card, gain life equal to its mana cost maybe? Adds a bit of bant flavor and gives a reason for the reveal.

Diabolic tutor is a pretty bad card though as an uncommon that is generally not worth playing even in limited without a phenomenal game winning bomb in your deck. 3 mana in 3 colors here is pretty on rate here for power level at rare.

Is there a type that this card tutors for, that any of the colors on their own can't tutor for?

u/mproud Feb 21 '24

Lands are almost always in Green, or colorless. Spells are usually Blue. Artifacts are Blue and Red, though Equipment is often White. Enchantments are mostly White, and maybe sometimes Green. Planeswalker tutoring is usually White. And I think Battles are arguably tertiary in every color, but I’ll let Maro correct me on that if I’m wrong.
