"Find me cards equivalent to: Selective Adaptation"

Equivalent green sorceries to Selective Adaptation (reveal top library cards, pick creatures into play/hand):
1. Genesis Wave – Reveal top X cards, put any number of permanents with cmc X or less onto the battlefield.
2. Collected Company (instant) – Top six cards, put up to two creatures with cmc 3 or less onto the battlefield.
3. See the Unwritten – Top eight cards, put a creature onto the battlefield, possibly another if ferocious.
4. Green Sun's Zenith – Search library for green creature, put it onto battlefield (more searching than revealing).
5. Summoner's Pact – Tutor effect, not perfect match but similar green search.

All of these are green, work with library top/searching, and have a put creatures onto the battlefield component like Selective Adaptation. None do the exact keyword-choosing, but the core effect is similar.

  • A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

  • If this spell doesn't resolve, none of its effects occur. In particular, it will go to the graveyard rather than to its owner's library.
  • If Green Sun's Zenith is countered, none of its effects will happen. Notably, it will be put into its owner's graveyard rather than shuffled into its owner's library.
  • If you own Green Sun's Zenith, but an opponent casts it (due to Knowledge Pool's effect, for example), that opponent searches their library for an appropriate creature card, then shuffles that library. That opponent then shuffles Green Sun's Zenith into your library. You won't shuffle any library in this case.
  • In most cases, if you own Green Sun's Zenith and cast it, you'll shuffle your library twice. In practice, shuffling once is sufficient, but effects that care about you shuffling your library (like Psychogenic Probe, for example) will see that you've shuffled twice.

    Rules

  • Because you’re not casting the creature cards, you can’t pay any additional or alternative costs. You can’t put the cards onto the battlefield face down.
  • Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don’t use the word “instead” will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
  • If a card you put onto the battlefield this way has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
  • You determine whether the ferocious ability applies before any creature cards are put onto the battlefield. If you put two creature cards onto the battlefield this way, those creatures enter the battlefield at the same time.

  • Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can't be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it.
  • If Summoner's Pact is countered, the delayed triggered ability that threatens you with a game loss won't trigger at the beginning of your next upkeep.
