Planar Bridge

Fourteen mana is the price of admission here, and that number is the whole balancing act. Six to cast, then eight more before the ability does anything, all of it gated by a tap that leaves the artifact vulnerable while it works. What that fourteen buys, though, is the most unconditional tutor-to-battlefield in the game's toolkit. Not a creature, not an artifact, not a card into hand: any permanent card, straight onto the battlefield, no restriction on type or cost. A Planeswalker, a game-ending enchantment, a land you happen to need, the exact answer or the exact threat, every turn the engine survives. This is the descendant of the "search and put into play" line that older tutors approached with far more hedging: the ones that only found lands, or only creatures, or only cost-capped targets. Planar Bridge removes the guardrails and pays for them entirely in mana, betting that a deck willing to reach fourteen has already earned the payoff. The legendary supertype is almost decorative given how few games see a second copy resolve. What lingers is the design honesty of it: a tutor with no fine print, taxed until the fine print became unnecessary.
