Reality Scramble
The trade is where the design lives: bottom a permanent you own, then dig until you hit something of the same card type and slam it into play for free. The wrinkle that lifts it past a Polymorph variant is the ownership clause working in your favor: any permanent you own that shares a type with a much bigger payoff becomes valid fuel. A dying token, an idle Treasure, an enchantment you no longer need, all convert into a fresh dig for the fattest thing left in your library of that type. Because the reveal cares only about card type, never mana value, the math runs entirely one direction: put back a 1/1, resolve a threat that would have cost a full turn to hard-cast. The random-bottoming of the misses is what keeps this from being a pure tutor: you get the type, not the specific card, so it rewards decks where every creature (or artifact, or enchantment) is a body you would be glad to see. Retrace turns the effect into a repeatable engine, letting a flooding hand pitch excess lands to fire it again from the graveyard. It is a chaos-flavored redirect that happens to be one of the more reliable ways red has to cheat a large permanent into play, a color that historically does its cheating through Sneak Attack effects and sacrifice rather than library manipulation.
