Universal fetch
Land
Tap, pay 2 life, sacrifice universal fetch: search your library for a land that can produce one or more colors of mana in your commander’s color identity, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
This likley needs some sort of restriction on it. Being able to fetch Gaea's Cradle, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or Cabal Coffers at instant speed is too good. Even fetching bounce lands at instant speeds is super tech. Needs to read "with a basic land type" somewhere in there.

When (~) ETB, search your library for a land card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library.

About as fair as I can make it. Would prefer a 3 cmc 1/1 with the same ability, but that may be too good.

1/1
I want a creature 4 cmc or less that can search for ANY land and put it into my hand or battlefield.
Currently testing Utvenwald Hydra for the same ability as an ETB, but need something cheaper mana wise.
If it's going to your hand, I honestly think 2G for a 1/1 would be fine. Sylvan Scrying costs 1G and adding 1 to the cost for a 1/1 body seems fine to me.
Ulvenwald Hydra costs 6 because the land goes to the battlefield and he's a big boi with reach.
That would be ideal at 2G for splashing in 3-5 color decks. I just want a cheap creature that can get utility lands from my library. I'll gladly play them one at a time. Surprised it hasn't been printed at some point. Going to hand makes it MUCH more difficult to abuse, though not impossible. I'm patiently waiting.
Hydra is good for putting the land into play, except then I want to use the land that turn, as it comes in tapped. So I have to telegraph my play when searching for lands like Gaea's Cradle, Volrath's Stronghold, or the like.
