Dina's Guidance

A tutor that lets you choose whether the target lands in your hand or your graveyard is doing quiet double duty, and the graveyard mode is the whole reason it costs what it does. Straight creature tutors have historically paid their price in mana, life, or restriction: this one pays partly by pointing itself at graveyard payoffs rather than raw card advantage. Sending a creature to the yard on the way past skips the "cast it" step entirely, feeding reanimation targets, delirium and threshold counts, escape fuel, or a sacrifice-fodder pile without ever committing the mana to hard-cast the thing. The instant speed is the sharpener. Most tutors that want to bury a creature run at sorcery speed, so being able to hold this up means you can find a blocker to hand at the end of an opponent's turn, or stock the graveyard in response to a spell that needs one to matter. The cost of that flexibility is the search itself: this only ever finds a creature, and it only ever moves one, so the graveyard mode rewards a deck built to cash in dead creatures rather than one hoping to draw into them. It is a selection tool that treats your library and your graveyard as the same shelf, and it is the graveyard half of that shelf that justifies putting a search this open-ended at instant speed.
