Auditore Ambush

Sorcery2 generic manaBlue manaBlack mana

A tutor stapled to a bounce spell, with the second mode written to fetch one specific legend by name. The first half is a plain Boomerang effect that returns any creature to hand; the second searches library and graveyard alike for Ezio, Blade of Vengeance and hands him over. The "and/or" wording on the graveyard clause is the quiet efficiency: you can dig through both zones in a single pass, which turns a recurred Ezio from a graveyard liability into a repeatable retrieval. Because you choose one or both modes, the card never wastes itself when the tutor target is already in hand: it collapses into a four-mana tempo play instead. That flexibility is the whole logic of the design. A dedicated tutor that only found a creature would rot in every hand that already has it; grafting the bounce mode on gives the card a floor. It reads as a piece of set-specific character support built to make a marquee legend feel like the story's protagonist, guaranteeing you can find him and, in a pinch, protect him or reset an opponent's threat. Outside a shell that actually runs the named creature, only the bounce half functions, which caps its ceiling well below its full potential.
