Worldly Tutor

InstantGreen mana

The green entry in an old instant-speed tutor cycle, and the most narrowly built of the five: where its siblings could fetch whatever the situation demanded, this one is locked to creature cards. That restriction is the price green pays to play in a space black usually owns. A single green mana to put any creature on top of your library looks absurdly efficient until you account for the full cost structure: you pay full price for the creature next turn, you spend your draw step retrieving it rather than digging for new gas, and the reveal clause hands an attentive opponent a full turn to plan around exactly what is coming. The instant-speed window is the part that matters. Casting this on an opponent's end step means you draw the creature on your own turn with no tempo lost, and you get to hold the search until you know precisely which threat or answer the board calls for. Because the fetched card waits on top and you already know its identity, the spell stops being a pure tutor and becomes a setup piece, feeding anything that cares about a known top card. Green has never had access to the unconditional one-mana tutors that black runs; narrowing the search to creatures is how the color borrows Demonic Tutor's efficiency without inheriting its open-ended reach.
