I wanted to mane a chain of trinkets and I wanted some opinions.
White Show
Artifact 
to your mana pool. 
, sacrifice ivory Trinket: search your library for a white card with a converted mana cost of 2 or less, reveal it, and put it in your hand. Blue Show
to your mana pool. Black Show
to your mana pool. Red Show
to your mana pool. green Show
to your mana pool. Colorless Show
to your mana pool. Multicolored Show
So what do you think? Effective? Payable? Utter jank? Any suggestions welcome.

These are solid as is! Playable in legacy, modern, standard, commander, and more without being overpowered! It's been a while since I saw a cycle so well-designed.

triple post? impressive. not even mad.
i'm actually worried about the power of the second ability on all of them. they are 1 mana tutor spells. i could essentially read them as 1 mana search for a 2 mana spell in my color. would definitely improve combos of all kinds.
or at least thats what i would have said had i not noticed they enter the battlefield tapped which makes them less powerful than i originally thought. im now fine with this.

I actually thought about the last ability pretty hard before posting it, I play Lantern so a turn one play that could transform into a combo piece immediately felt a little strong that's why I added the enters tapped.
Thanks a bunch for the comments guys. :)

breaks modern, tier 1 in standard very playable in legacy.
1- dull trinket is amazing as is as it can fetch tron and legacies utity lands
2- vibrant trinket is a VERY good mana rock compared to the current power
3- giving ever colour a tutor is not within the current ethos for new sets
but I love these for legacy comander and old formats. these are strong and have a power level of cards no longer made but as said before by someone in supplementary product these would be awesome.
That said a few (black) could be a standard legal product.

You could make them fetch specific card types:
White - enchantments, Blue - instants, Black - Sorcery, Red - fetch any card, but discard at random afterwards, Green - a creature, Colorless - artifact.

To be fair, it only adjusts your mana for one turn as you have to sac it, make it worse than say Dark Ritual. While the vibrant Trinket gives any color, it's Tutor is actually weaker. Who's is could Tutor Voice of Resurgence so could the green and white as voice is both of those colors.
As for limiting what can be tutored, it's already limited to cmc 2 of less. Basically giving you a turn 2 play of you didn't start with one. However, I do realize the issue with the dull Trinket, I'll add non land to that.

I do want to know how it breaks modern though? I figure having the whole spectrum means that every deck archetype could use it as most decks have at least a single card with cmc2, any this would balance it out across the board.

CIPT with both abilities requiring a sacrifice? Not really playable. I like the names, very classic. Make the first ability a tap instead of sac and you have a nice, playable card that could be a part of next Commander supplemental product.
