Why Play Worldly Tutor

At one mana, Worldly Tutor provides incredible efficiency for finding exactly the creature you need at instant speed. Green decks running creature-based combos or toolbox strategies get maximum value from this tutor, as it can grab combo pieces like Craterhoof Behemoth for game-ending plays or utility creatures like Eternal Witness for recursion. The instant speed timing allows you to tutor during your opponent's end step, then draw your target creature on your turn, or reactively find answers like Scavenging Ooze against graveyard decks.

Format Notes

Worldly Tutor sees its heaviest play in Legacy and Commander, where the higher power level justifies running tutors for consistency. In Legacy, it enables creature-based combo decks like Elves or Natural Order strategies by finding key pieces reliably. Commander players particularly value its versatility and low mana cost, making it a staple in green creature-focused builds across all power levels.

Combos & Synergies

Natural Order combos become much more consistent when you can tutor for Progenitus or other expensive creatures to sacrifice and cheat into play. Survival of the Fittest creates a powerful engine when combined with Worldly Tutor, allowing you to stock your hand with creatures while filling your graveyard. Top-of-library manipulation like Sylvan Library or Sensei's Divining Top turns Worldly Tutor into immediate card advantage rather than waiting until your next draw step.
