Custom Tutor card

Custom Cards forum

So I was going through some of my older cards and came across Time of Need. For whatever reason this sparked a thought. "Why has there never been a Planeswalker specific tutor card?"

As such I present the basic card idea

Call for Aid CMC will 3 or 4 but not sure about color

Sorcery (thought about instant but that's really strong)

Search your library for a Planeswalker or legendary creature card, reveal it and put it into your hand.

Other ideas I had were to make it and have it be everyhing above except on the end of it "you lose life equal to CMC"

I don't know why this came to my mind but how about having an additional cost where you also have to tap a creature and then the tutored card would have to share a color with that tapped creature?

I think it could be more flavorful and cost less if you make them put it on top of the library. They're on a different plane so it might take a second for your spell to reach them, and if someone attacks you mentally (mill) they interrupt your casting, the planeswalker lost. Something like...

Aether Terminal

or

Sorcery

Search your library for a planeswalker card and put it on top your library (no revealing)

Artwork is something cheesy like a hand reaching out of a portal in the air lol.

@ Ruffigan when you search for a card of a specific type you have to reveal it to ensure there's no cheating.

You could make it an instant if it's a top-deck tutor. 3 or 4 mana to fix your draw for a card that's not likely to win you the game on the spot doesn't seem unfair.

Didn't consider that, thanks for the correction. And yeah, it could work at just

Ruffigan ~ hmmm. That actually does make a lot of sense. Thanks for the feedback. I think that would be way more like you suggested.

MagicalHacker ~ LOL. great minds think alike I guess. When did you post that? This honestly just occured to me last night and I put pen to paper and posted it around 9ish CST

Back in February actually xD and I'm not accusing or anything! In fact there plenty of differences between our designs, even up to flavor!

MagicalHacker ~ OH NO NO. didn't think you were accusing of anything. Just curious if we had both posted this today. Thought it would be kind of hysterical for 2 similar threads by two different people about a completely off the wall topic to be posted simultaneously. Lol

I say give it to red, just so that they actually have a tutor.
