"Find me cards equivalent to: Instrument of the Bards"

Equivalent cards to Instrument of the Bards (Legendary, Green, Artifact, Creature tutor):

  • Planar Bridge — Legendary artifact, colorless, {6}, {T}: Search your library for a permanent card, put it onto the battlefield. (Colorless but similar effect.)
  • Pyre of Heroes — Artifact, colorless, {2}, {T}, Sac a creature: Search for a creature with mana value +1. (Creature tutor, but not legendary or mono-green.)
  • Birthing Pod — Artifact, colorless/green, {1}{G/P}, Sac a creature: Search for one with mana value +1. (Banned in Modern and not legendary.)
  • Green Sun's Zenith — Sorcery, green, search for a green creature with mana value X. (Not an artifact.)
  • Vivien’s Arkbow — Artifact, legendary, green, {X}, discard a card: Look at top X, get a creature. (Closest green legendary artifact creature tutor.)

Closest equivalent:

  • Vivien’s Arkbow is most similar (legendary, artifact, green, creature tutor, though not identical).


Reason:
There are very few green legendary artifacts that tutor creatures. Most similar cards require sacrifices (e.g., Birthing Pod, Pyre of Heroes) or are not legendary. Vivien's Arkbow is artifact, legendary, and green, and tutors creatures based on mana investment.

  • A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.
  • A creature's mana value is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). If its mana cost includes {X}, X is considered to be 0. If it has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's an animated land, for example), its mana value is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) paid when the creature was cast.
  • A token has a mana value of 0, unless it is copying something else.
  • As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.
  • If a creature is copying something else, its mana value is the mana value of whatever it's copying.
  • If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
  • Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
  • To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.

  • 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.

  • If a permanent or a card in a library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • Once you announce that you're activating the activated ability, no player may take actions until the ability has been paid for. Notably, opponents can't try to remove one of your creatures to stop you from sacrificing it.
  • Use the creature types and mana value of the creature you sacrificed as it existed on the battlefield to determine what creature card you can find. Notably, if you sacrifice a creature that's a double-faced permanent with its back face up, you'll use the characteristics of the back face, not the front face.
