Why Play Eladamri's Call

Creature tutors at two mana are incredibly powerful, giving you access to your best threat or answer at instant speed. Toolbox decks love having a silver bullet for any situation, whether you need a hate bear like Thalia Guardian of Thraben against spell-heavy decks or a combo piece to close out the game. The instant speed means you can respond to opponent's plays by finding exactly the creature you need, or wait until end of turn to search up your next threat while keeping mana open for interaction.

Format Notes

Commander is where Eladamri's Call shines brightest, serving as a reliable tutor in creature-based strategies and combo decks alike. In Legacy, it sees play in creature-combo decks and Death & Taxes variants that want consistent access to key creatures. Modern applications are more niche but powerful, typically appearing in toolbox strategies or decks built around specific creature combos that need reliable access to their pieces.

Combos & Synergies

Creature-based combo decks frequently use Eladamri's Call to find missing pieces, such as tutoring for Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker or Devoted Druid in their respective combo lines. Hatebear strategies benefit enormously from the flexibility, allowing you to find Collector Ouphe against artifact decks or Scavenging Ooze against graveyard strategies. Value creature decks appreciate being able to search up Eternal Witness to rebuy important spells or finding utility creatures like Knight of the Reliquary to dominate the board.
