Doubling Chant

Sorcery5 generic manaGreen mana

The whole spell hinges on a word almost no other tutor uses: same name. Most green search effects ask for a creature card by type, by mana value, or simply any creature; this one matches each thing you control against an exact-name copy still in your library, then drops every hit onto the battlefield at once. That constraint is the entire design. It rewards a board built around redundancy: a playset of the same workhorse, multiple copies of a key body, or token copies of an actual creature card that the library can still answer (ordinary tokens like Saprolings or Goblins find nothing, because there is no corresponding card to fetch). Wide-but-uniform boards turn this into an explosion; toolbox decks full of singletons get almost nothing, since there is no second copy to find. The sorcery speed and the heavy six-mana price keep a "double your relevant creatures for free" effect from arriving the turn it would steal a game. It also reads as a green spin on a clone effect: instead of copying one creature, it fetches the originals and sidesteps the copy-rules headaches entirely, since the cards are genuine duplicates rather than copy tokens. The shuffle is the only cleanup it needs, and the empty-handed failure case (no matching names, nothing happens) is the honest tax on a deck that did not commit to the redundancy plan.

For each creature you control, you may search your library for a creature card with the same name as that creature. Put those cards onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
