"Find me cards equivalent to: Once Upon a Time"

Cards equivalent to Once Upon a Time (Instant, Green, searches top of library for a creature/land) include:
1. Adventurous Impulse – Not an instant, but 1-mana green spell that searches top 3 for a creature/land.
2. Worldly Tutor – Instant, searches your library for a creature (not land), puts it on top, not in hand.
3. Summoner's Pact – Instant, searches library for a green creature, but no land, needs to pay later.
4. Vivien's Insight – Not an instant, but looks at top 7 for a creature and draws it (sorcery, green).
5. Mosswort Bridge – Land, but allows similar deck manipulation and sometimes free spell.

Most effects with both instant speed and land/creature flexibility are rare. Once Upon a Time is unique for being free and flexible as an instant.

    Hideaway

    Rules

  • "Hideaway N" means "When this permanent enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. The exiled card gains 'The player who controls the permanent that exiled this card may look at this card in the exile zone.'"
  • Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.
  • Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order.
  • Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped," and they now have hideaway 4.

  • 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.
