Instant (R)
Search your library for up to two creature cards with different names, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

Not a bad creature tutor. Going to see play in a lot of green EDH decks.

That is a *steep* upgrade on Eladamri’s Call.
Not even sure why the “different names” hurdle is here.

Instant speed makes this playable.

Really hope that the 5 mana makes it not good enough for the formats outside of EDH. Looks like a fine tutor and maybe it will become a good budget staple.

Instant speed tutor up a combo seems pretty strong for edh. Without solring and other fast mana available in edh, it's probably too slow for modern. It could see standard play, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unbelievable this is insane


I see your all failing to notice this is a instant speed version of half of tooth and nail

Instant speed to search for a combo is nice

will be getting one copy to test in my RG ponza. Grab an inferno titan and another creature at end of opponent's turn. Instant speed makes this worth testing.

In EDH this is outrageously good. Instant staple in every single green deck out there, really. Outside of EDH the steep mana cost might make it a bit worse, but... Well, if a combo deck with green in it can afford to play Collected Company, it can PROBABLY afford to play this too.

I'm sure you're aware of this but it's not really an apples to apples comparison because CoCo flashes in the 2 creatures whereas this only puts them to your hand. Now, there's other differences as well but that's a fairly dramatic hurdle.

I have to agree with crispen here. Coco threatens to affect the board at instant speed and cheats on mana. This loses you 5 mana and doesn't immediately impact the board. It might still be worth the tempo loss to grab any 2 creatures, but I think this has more in common with Eladamri's Call.

Half a Realms Uncharted effect for creatures. No other restrictions. That's pretty good in EDH/casual formats Elsewhere I'm not so sure. Limited? Absolutely.

Correct name is "Shared Summons" (check the original image filename).

Hence the "probably" in caps

The operative word in your statement is "half".

Tooth and Nail is an absolute house that does work in cube. This is a bulk rare that won't see play outside the kitchen table. There's not a lot of scenarios where I want to leave up 5 mana in green to grab two sorcery speed cards that I can't even play. I'd much rather find a spaghetti monster and something to give it haste and finish the game on the spot.

Now I need to consider if this is superior to slot over Primal Command in Arixmethes sea monsters. Ideally I’d play both, but there have been so many new cards to fit into it this year that I may have to choose. Worldly tutor continues to be the most ideal though

I'm not going to point out how instant speed and being cheaper than the entwined cost are upsides. Oops guess I did.

Still a decent card in EDH. Tooth and Nail it may not be, but instant speed, pick any 2 critters for 5 mana sounds like a fast food bargain that I could get behind.

It's good because it's instant versatility. Like any tutor, you can grab what you need in a pinch.
