The Wizardcycling cards are my favorite tutors. In my Gavi deck, they are literally free instant speed "Put Rielle, the Everwise into your hand". Absolutely insane.
Imagine not tutoring for Azami 🤔
I agree - and cycling can't be countered by most counterspells.

3/2
My fav tutors on a budget are: Fierce Empath, Time of Need, and Uncage the Menagerie.
Bring to Light can cast the backside of Valki. They changed the rule on Cascade. Not Bring to Light
I thought the all tutors only cared about the primary face of the card
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 Right, the tutor only cares about the front side. The part of bring to light that casts the spell doesn't care. The game assumes that any card exiled fits the restrictions.
Because MDFC's can be cast on either side when cast for free (except for specifically cascade), the back side of an MDFC can be cast with Bring to Light if the front side can be found
@@SilverAlex92 If bring to lights casting clause said that you may cast the spell if it fits the restrictions, you wouldn't be able to cast Tibalt. But because the restrictions are placed on the search clause of bring to light, the restrictions are not on the casting clause of bring to light.
If you looked at an effect that said "Cast a spell mana value 2 or less from your hand without paying its mana cost" you wouldn't be able to cast Tibalt because he doesn't fit the restrictions. Bring to light just says cast the spell so you can cast Tibalt
Thanks . I'm not crazy
A cool interaction, not many decks can fit all those colors though. But those that can would be cool to play this in.
Dimir's "Transmute" mechanic from original Ravnica. You spend three mana to use the transmute card's ability to discard it from your hand and tutor a card with equal mana cost (sorcery speed, you do reveal the tutored card).
You use a card ability instead of cast it as a spell so it is harder to counter, some of the face cards are very good cards by themselves even without the added utility of the Transmute ability.
This ! I'm really surprised they did not mention transmute
No, they did mention it in this episode, but only Dimir Houseguard by name and didn't go into much detail about it.
For graveyard decks, final parting tutors up 2 cards for you. It's an uncommon from Dominaria and it's pretty solid.
Vilis + reanimate, is a great pair to grab, basically draw 8 cards and get a huge body for 6 mana
Wishclaw Talisman ist my favourite Budget tutor of all time. I give it to my opponents under the condition they give it back to me, works every time.
So its essentually 4 mana for 2 tutors
Truth.
One nice thing about Bring to Light is if you have a way to produce mana of colors outside of your color identity (city of brass, exotic orchard, birds of paradise, treasure tokens etc) you can get 5 drops even if you are not a 5-color deck
Not hard... especially since you're in GREEN.^^
Just a treasure is enough, and they're EVERYWHERE.
@@faperito2389 3 treasures to get all colors, and yes, they're EVERYWHERE.
Really appreciated this episode, as a noob there’s lots of useful cards I’ve never heard of especially the ones in green. I’ll gladly pitch for shipping if Crim wants to send me a copy of Whir of Invention 🤣
Sometimes I really miss Richard in the podcast, he really brought a ton of unique insight and controversy in the mix. But I also like Phil very much, I hope you'll find a way to keep both when Richard comes back from paternity leave :)
Uncage The Menagerie had been my favorite creature tutor for a while. It’s probably my favorite card in my elves deck!
Bring to light works with any mana rocks or lands that say "add one mana of any color"
My thoughts exactly. Especially with the amount of treasure support in the last couple of years.
I think Vedalken AEther Mage is also really good in Tribal Tribal! Very easy to cast, 2 mana creature that can bounce any of your other creatures as a safety net OR an uncounterable, instant speed 3 mana generic tutor that grabs any creature in your deck is really insane.
The discussion around Bring to Light is interesting. I think if you build a deck in Simic around Treasures, you can get all 5 colors in a 2 color deck. I brewed an Adrix and Nev deck around Bootleggers Stash and Bring to Light, turning BtL into a super toolbox card.
The amount of treasure support in the last couple years definitely jumped to my mind immediately
5 color decks often cascade, and having a few zero drops in a deck with Bring to Light helps it a lot in case it is cast for free, and those cascade effects also favor 0 cost cards as well
I jam Mwonvuli Beast Tracker in every deck I can if only because that promo art is so, so, so sweet.
Phil: I think unconditional tutors are boring
Also Phil: I'm going to put Agent of treachery and risen Reef into every deck it can fit into
I think primal command might be a bit underrated because as well as being a tutor you get removal and grave hate which are very relevant
Night dealings looks pretty good on a belbe deck, you deal one damage to each oponent and you get 3 counters and you already run those cards
The issue I have with it is not that it's bad, I've played with it and it's actually mostly been decent, but there's so much incidental enchantment removal these days. Your suggestion is good because you should probably have a plan to get value from this card at least next turn.
Rocco is an interesting creature to put in your command zone. It allows you to play a hidden commander. I'm going to be building a Rocco hidden commander Feather deck. Boros has issues with land ramp. So you can play Naya colors and use Rocco to look for your real Boros commander, while having green ramp. Some cards in green are really good for stuff like Feather such as Taimyo's Safekeeping and Wild Defiance.
I play a Rocco deck that is Purphoros hidden commander 😊
Rocco searching for winota..
What a nice video about cards I have a rule against using. Still cool to hear you guys talk about it.
Tutors in general you're against huh. Interesting.
I didn't know magic nazis existed. "No tutor for you"
I bought about a dozen copies of solve the equation when it was released. I thought "it's basically spellseeker, and that's $20!". Turns out you can't blink solve the equation and it also doesn't combo with Inalla 🤷♂️
Compare it to Idyllic Tutor and Fabricate, both the same as Solve the Equation but for different card types, both at almost identical prices right now- just under $6- and that’s probably what you can expect StE to be in a couple years or so, if it doesn’t get reprinted.
Although I could have sworn both of those other cards were around $20 not that long ago, but maybe I’m misremembering.
Cassius Marsh hipped me to Solve the Equation on I Hate Your Deck and it's an auto include for me on any commander deck w blue in it. It's saved my bacon so many times. I use it to either grab my win con (Mass Manipulation) or whatever other card I need situationally (alot of times it saves my ass just grabbing a cultivate).
I've used it to grab fierce guardianship to save my commander more than once lol
A super cool interaction with Woodland Bellower that was left out is having him grab a Fierce Empath to look for a late game finisher instead of only grabbing a small piece of tech. It really expands the Bellowers options just by having Fierce Empath in the deck.
Mausoleum Secrets in Teysa, Orzhov Scion decks fetches you Darkest Hour at instant speed for 2 mana, just sayin'
My playgroup sure start sweating bullets when they see it
Dig Up is so good. It is basically an MDFC - since it costs a single green, it can replace a land in your deck and functions as basically a tap land
Had never seen/heard about Night Dealings before this. Thought the card was super cool, built a Rakdos burn EDH deck... Just gotta play the card now lol
Also weird, Seth's thought process on Coveted Prize went exactly how my thoughts went when I was evaluating that card yesterday. Diabolic
i see potential in night dealings, after all sunforger works wonders and it's 4 mana to cast, 3 mana to equip, 2 mana to play a r/w instant cmc
Wishclaw talisman is great if you play it correctly. If you and another player are behind, you probably get 2 tutors for 4 mana out of it. If you are ahead, you can search out repeated bounce or even vandal blast. And it is a 3 mana tutor in a pinch.
Fierce Empath plays really well with Woodland Bellower, you can use Bellower to tutor the Empath, then use that to get your large finisher creatures!
Exactly what I was thinking when they were talking about bellower
I think even in a 2-3 color deck, Bring to Light can be more effective bc often times we have an arcane signet, forbidden orchard, etc that can generate another mana color outside of our commander’s color to boost BtL’s effectiveness even more
A cool bonus with dark petition (Although sometimes it hurts you) is that tit fixes your mana in decks. Say you have 2 swamps and 3 non-black lands: you’ll now be able to tutor and still have 3 black mana when you wouldn’t before. It’s a minor point, but I have had it come up.
47:00 "but if you are playing a wizard tribal deck, or a sliver tribal deck" .... or... may I add ... a Thassa's Oracle deck...
5:58
In regards to Mausoleum Secrets, I’ve used it to get Slaughter Pact to kill an early Kinnan
We can probably expect a creature version of Solve the Equation to pop up pretty soon, just because Solve is the latest piece of a cycle. Fabricate and Idyllic Tutor also exist, and are basically the same thing as Solve, just for different card types. They seem to be aiming to slowly have one of these for every nonland card type. Creature and Planeswalker are the only two that don’t have this “2C: Sorcery: Tutor a card type to hand” design.
Search for glory might as well be the planeswalker variant, just with more upside
I like Fervent Mastery. It’s risky, but it works for me
Copying shared summoning many times is one of my favorite things to do.
I can't believe they missed Final Parting. 5 mana search a card to hand and a card to grave. Grab your choice of Persist/Animate Dead/Reanimate, and whatever creature you want into the grave, and you've essentially just paid 7 mana to tutor any creature from deck to field.
I love using it to set up a worldgorgrer combo
So... it's Tooth and Nail.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 I mean.... Tooth and Nail for $1 instead of $16, if it was non-green, and could also just tutor anything else instead because it's a very versatile and cheap tutor? I'm not sure I understand your point.
@@IronGlorfindel Your suggested usage was a 2 card combo that amounts to Tooth and Nail. That's all I was saying. Search library for creature to grave, reanimate that creature. Amounts to the same. Tooth and Nail is quite strong.
Hey Seth! Love the Neutral Milk Hotel ITAOTS vinyl!
Best edh podcast, always looking forward to it
I use 'Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire' in my Yuriko deck and a couple others and it works out pretty well. It often draws out removal spells and works great as bait.
Vedalken aethermage has flash, you can teachings for it and cycle to get a wizard that doesn't have flash
Recently made a new super friends deck with all the new Dominaria stuff, and I kept looking at call the gatewatch and wondering why I'm not using Seach for glory instead. any walker, i run the new saga but also a few good ones, and the handful of legendary creatures, too many targets.
A point to bring up on Solve the Equation vs. Mystical Tutor is that Solve the Equation can be meaningfully copied, which can bring many spells to your hand. If you copy Mystical Tutor, you end up swapping one top card of the library with another. As such, StE can be better than Mystical Tutor in many relevant situations, in my opinion.
"Mausoleum secrets" is one I just discovered. It's 1 and a black to grab any black card with CMC equal to or less than the amount of creatures in your graveyard. It's like a buck so not bad but very situational
Legitimately so underrated.
@@SpireTheSlay you can't cast it if there is a rest in peace in play, a tormod's crypt in play, ect. It gets blown out by graveyard hate and requires a graveyard of creatures to work. Not every deck can make it work- especially if you want to tutor something that isn't black, such as Urbog or Cabal Coffers, both of which are colorless, because lands are always colorless
@@SpireTheSlay yeah I use it in Syr konrad
@@bodaciouschad it's for win cons not land.
👍👏
I’m Team Night Dealing. I run it in my Mogis Painchantress deck and it easily gets 6+ counters on it a turn cycle.
36:40 Also, this play-style makes it easier to break up opposing combos
For my part, I'm still unconvinced that tutors are good for Commander as a format. I feel like the beauty of singleton is that you have to deal with using cards that would be cut if they allowed multiple copies of your best cards, so you end up with a whole lot more variance. Tutors kill the variance, ensure you'll end up playing the same spells way more often, and just generally aren't as much fun as the alternative.
I don't mind tutors but I get enraged when I see cards that say "you may have as many copies of this card in your deck as you like" in any singleton format. Rat colony and dragons approach decks can go to hell
In my rasputin deck I have had to cast a vedalken aethermage to bounce a sliver I think once, but I was sure happy I had it.
There's a similar sorcery card from mh2 with wizardcycling 2 that bounces up to two creatures. I switched aethermage for that recently
@@nicholasjensen1077 yeah. I wish i still played magic but the power creep over the passed couple years completely drove me out. Plus prices are getting so arbitratily high even before inflation atuff.
Today Night dealings would be a saga to allow counters to be added, then at the final it would sac and let you search up to that combined cost
There’s a 5 mana black sorcery that grabs one card to hand and one to the yard.. final parting
And there’s one that is the name sake of the Harvest Animar cedh deck that gets two creatures but everyone can do it.
There’s ecological appreciation
There are a few plays on intuition/gifts that grab multiple cards so.. no shared summons is not the only one but it’s among the best imo. Almost at the end of video, did you forget summoners pact? That’s a very strong card. Zero mana tutors are pretty decent :)
"Time of need" is a solid affordable option for green
(tutors legendary creatures)
Coveted Prize is an absolute monster in my party deck. Opponents always want to read it because they're shocked I just cast a tutor for 1 black in a $200 budget game.
Design your own tutor: Teacher's Union - Enchantment, cost 2WBURG. Activations- 2WW: search for an enchantment and place on top of library, 2BB: search for sorcery and place on top of library, 2UU: search for artifact and place on top of library, 2RR: search for instant and place on top of library, 2GG: search for creature and place on top of library
But it's a union... needs cumulative upkeep!
Kenrith would love that, 7 might just be too much though
@@devin5297 trying to keep repeatable from being too broken with 7 cmc and onto top instead of into hand.
@@andrewgolubiewski3463 wild research is pretty similar to this and only costs 3 to cast and 2 to activate - has its discard downside though i guess
I honestly view dig up like a mdfc that can either be a tapped basic land of your choice or a diabolic tutor.
Bring to light can be in 2 or 3 or 4, with treasures, cast for 5 colors
I think I'm with Seth on Night Dealings. The card oozes style and I want to try it, but my brain is short circuiting trying to imagine its best plays.
Agreed. When will I ever be happy with an 8 mana tutor, or even a 12 mana tutor for two cards? It just seems a bit.... Oof
The power in the card comes from its instant speed versatility & utility. holding up mana can sometimes backfire in draw go decks when the expected action of another player doesn't occur (Maybe you thought somebody was gonna board wipe so you were holding up a counter spell, but when they don't board wipe you have nothing to spend that mana on) Night Dealings allows you to use that leftover mana that would have gone to waste to tutor nearly anything out of your deck.
Maybe you hold up 6 mana at the end of your turn to flash in some big creature, but another player is about to drop a bomb, now you can trigger night dealings to find that Counterspell instead of flashing in your creature.
In more traditional decks, sure, night dealing is pretty below average and to be honest its pretty bad, but in decks that are constantly leaving mana open anyways it can be a fantastic out for things you didn't know were gonna happen. Like Crim and tomer said, on face value this thing reads terribly but when you actually play it int he proper deck it can really carry its own weight.
@@calenhoover1124 I really don't see how one is supposed to get this on the battlefield AND have the mana to activate, while also leaving up interaction. I guess just slam it turn 4 and then what? Play some flash creatures and slowly build up counters? It's probably sweet when it's going, but getting it to that point sounds extremely dubious.
@@DylanHunter64 Like I said, you aren't just jamming this in a random black deck, the card is arguably terrible in most decks (which I did mention)
what I'm trying to say is that in a draw go deck filled with instants and flash spells this card is actually pretty nutty. The fact that this card just cares about any source dealing damage makes it great in a Grixis "draw-go" deck where dealing direct damage is fairly easy either with tiny evasive creatures or burn spells/pingers.
Ive played this thing on turn 2 with a dark ritual, and just absolutly went to town on the rest of the table. Being able to do this effect at instant speed whenever you need it because you are already leaving your mana open anyways, is a lot more powerful than I think you're giving it credit for.
Fuel it with Black Market
I like Moonsilver Key a lot for budget mono red. Fetch Liquimetal Torque to deal with any permanent type, plus so many other mana rocks have utility effects. Also Imperial Recruiter is great in red, but closer to $6. Still way cheaper than it used to be. Thanks for the cast!
I use it to gran Strixhaven stadium in my rouge deck 👍🏾
Bring to Light is great for 3 color as well, it plays as a demonic tutor that casts the spell right away
Happy 10 years of content production Tomar.
I put fade away in my karn deck for you tomer! (and because it has a karn quote)
also fade away in a stax style deck is legitimately powerful.
Use Wargate in my gates deck and it's so perfect, right down to the name.
Gotta throw my pitch to Wishclaw Talisman. Absolutely love the political value, and with proper deals, you can usually get it back for a double tutor. It’s very solid.
I have actually played vedalken aethermage but not for anything other than it was blue. Opponent played you can't plays spells of the same color. So played a green spell then held priority to cast it just so he couldn't cast any blue counter spells blew him out.
1:14:00 theres an instant congregation at dawn which puts 3 creatures onto the top for 2 green and 1 white
I was feeling Seth's view on Night's Dealings, until Crim explained it. It's like crims rogue sunforger. It's probably also good in Faeries
Mystical Teachings reads "go get Force of Will" to me. Which makes it pretty viable honestly.
Long-term plans is great in card draw heavy decks such as baral, niv mizzet
Woodland Bellower gets Fierce Empath, so it also tutors any 6+ mana value creature to hand
I remember when bring to light was a viable standard card because wizards messed up and printed fetches and fetchable dials in standard
I think you forgot Final Parting in this list. The floor is, that you play an Entomb and a Demonic Tutor for 5 but the lovely part is, that you can just bring you Finisher to the Board for cheap when you tutor that creature to a graveyard and a Reanimate to your hand => cheap pseudo green suns zenith in black :)
Technically it's 6 or 7 bucks now, but Fiend Artisan is probably my favorite cheap-ish tutor since it's repeatable and is sometimes just accidently massive. Wishclaw Talisman and Rushed Rebirth probably also deserve a mention.
I run Woodland Bellower in Yarok and I find risen reef with it like 95% of the time, its sweet
A Whir of Invention with Crim's signature would be epic!
Night dealings is solid. Vela the nightclad, other evasive style commanders or spell slinger that hands out damage can really get value out of it. A rakdos deck would abuse the hell out of this.
Solve the equation is the best tutor in my elminster turns deck
It's funny when the table allows it to resolve and you grab fierce guardianship
I quite like Scheming Symmetry. If you've got one player massively ahead then you target yourself and one of the other players with the expectation that you will both find something to deal with them (almost like a Secret Rendezvous) or you can break the symmetry by either forcing a shuffle on the opponent you chose or having something that will draw you your card to use it on the same turn
I love this card, but the price is heavily inflated.
@@vaporeon344 just saw the US prices - they seem really high! In Europe / UK we can buy it for less than couple of Euros / GBP. Not sure what format / decks it is in demand for?
For my Phage the Untouchable deck pretty much one of the only counters is graveyard hate that shuffles back into the deck as pretty much my graveyard is my second hand and so is my Exile due to a infinite combo with Mirror of Fate allowing me to pull from exile as long as the exiled card is not face down in exile. SOme of the fun counter spells i have are colorless for it such as Null Brooch as i can easily get more cards to discard and Reflecting Mirror is definitely a troll counter that is only about 37 cents which reads "{X}, {T}: Change the target of target spell with a single target if that target is you. The new target must be a player. X is twice the mana value of that spell."
Fun fact the actual text on the card is actually clearer than gatherer weird i know the card reads X, tap: Target spell, which targets you, targets the player of your choice instead. X is twice the casting cost of target spell. This ability is played as an interrupt. Yes for once the text on the card actually makes more sense than the oracle text oh and pretty much think of it as a colorless Imp's Mischief but worse as it has to target you and Imp's Mischief can change a spell that targets anyone.
I would love a signed copy of Whir of Invention from Crim. I would put it in every blue deck, even if I didn’t have any targets for it, just to have it in there would be great.
I love the Wizardcycling cards. I've even cast Vedalken AEthermage to bounce an opponent's Chameleon Colossus to save myself.
No love for Final Parting? It is slow, but it is almost "tutor 2 cards" when playing graveyard synergies.
I run coveted prize in my budget cedh deck ($500 Yuriko). It’s perfect there. I have changelings and warriors, rogues, wizards, it’s very often demonic tutor and the big upside is that it hits hard off the top of the deck.
Also play Dark Petition there.
You haven’t come to it yet and maybe you’ll skip it but lemme tell you the best budget tutors (and I play mainly budget cedh.. my friends and I jam $500 no gloves) and I help people on the budget cedh discord.. and am working on decks for a $100 budget cedh tourney…
Hands down;
Wishclaw talisman. It’s the best budget tutor maybe period.
The ability to pay only one mana the turn you play it and just win the game before it matters that you passed it.. and if you are going after dockside it gives you an extra treasure.
Others you missed;
Goblin engineer
Goblin matron
Goblin recruiter
Imperial recruiter
The transmute cards
Fierce impath?? I think.. it gets a big fatty creature to hand.
Damn there really are a ton.,
Time of need is amazing and getting better
Something of the menagerie (green one)
Crop rotation
Chord of calling
And just on and on…
Great list though, mystic teachings made me pause the video to edit my budget cedh Dimir flash deck. Nymris Tricks aka Better Rashmi.
www.moxfield.com/decks/kh7SRQFHPEyrbjiZxsLYzQ
Mystical Teachings looks amazing for Alela decks.
For Bring to Light, with exotic orchard and now fellwar stone being printed in commander precons, there is a good chance you’ll get 4 different colors for the converge.
Plus the amount of treasure support in recent years
Bring to light is solid in treasure based decks even if they are two colour
Bring to Light can cast the expensive side. The rule only changed for Cascade.
I'm with Tomer on Dig Up. I would not play Lay of the Land ever. I would very rarely ever play Diabolic Tutor.
I think you should view dig up as a mdfc, pay a mana is kinda like a tappedland
Get a fierce empath with your woodland bellower and tutor for your craterhoof lol
Woodland bellower can grab academy manufactor in lonis or other decks like that 🤪
My fave part about this podcast is that no matter what crim is just about to get up
I bring to light into Tibalt most days of the weeeeeeeek on MTGO and have in tournament a few weeks ago
Vivien on the Hunt is now around 5 bucks and is a pretty good tutor because you can use it right away!
such a cheat with the Vivien, Phil :) there is only a single card on the cardmarket for 4.99, why not use the price trend?
No one mentioned crop rotation? Ive gotten so much value out of that card by getting stuff like homeward path or winding canyons at instant speed. U can also just get good mana producing lands like nykthos with it. Its super good.
Dark Petition is black and costs more than 1 or 2 mana, so it is very often unplayable in cEDH because Ad Nauseam is in the format
My k'rrik sure loves dark petition :D
dark petition is super fun in kark the thumbless
I play shared summons in Kalamax and it is gas. Instant speed tutor four creatures for five mana.
I do play Vivien, Monster's Advocate in my Samut deck. I've so much mana, i'm casting 8-9-10-11 creature at lightning speed, with her it's just ridiculous.
I only had Samut on board and Vivien, I did cast an Apex Devastator to grab Craterhoof Behemot and 4 other permanent with the cascades, ofc my decklist is made to brings ridiculous thing on the table, and so I had 4 ridiculous creatures (Gisela, Selvala heart of the wild, Elesh Norn and Aurelia the warleader). Well I Won on turn 5.
With an appropriate deck she can be really scary ! Do not be fooled !
PS : Funny enough, as i continue to watch the video, i also do play Wild Pair and Woodland Bellower in the deck.
Vivien is better really in decks with off costed A + B creature combos. Kiki Jiki to immediately put Deciever Exarch or Pestermite is just smooth win.
