Eladamri's Call finds any creature in your deck and puts it directly into your hand for two mana at instant speed — that combination of speed, flexibility, and cost is what separates it from slower tutors. Whether you're hunting Timestream Navigator to lock in an extra-turn loop or fetching Derevi, Empyrial Tactician from the command zone redundancy pile, this is the cleanest creature tutor in green-white.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician decks run intricate creature-based stax and tap/untap engines where finding the exact piece at instant speed is the difference between winning and stalling — Eladamri's Call delivers that precision without tipping your hand at sorcery speed.
Marath, Will of the Wild
Marath, Will of the Wild combo lines depend on specific creature pairings to generate infinite tokens or mana, and Eladamri's Call is the fastest way to assemble whichever half of the engine is missing.
Captain Sisay
Captain Sisay already tutors legendaries with her tap ability, but Eladamri's Call fills in the gap when Sisay herself is unavailable or when you need a non-legendary creature the commander can't fetch.
Chulane, Teller of Tales
Chulane, Teller of Tales wants a dense creature package to keep bouncing and replaying for cards and mana, and Eladamri's Call finds the missing combo creature or silver bullet at any point in the turn cycle.
Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer
Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer can tutor creatures directly onto the battlefield, but Eladamri's Call gives the deck a hand-sculpting option that doesn't require mana investment upfront, bridging turns when Rocco isn't online.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Eladamri's Call earns its reputation — singleton construction makes any creature tutor premium, and instant speed means you can hold mana up for interaction and pivot to fetching a win condition the moment the path is clear. In Legacy, it sees occasional play in creature-toolbox shells, though the format's pace and access to more powerful tutors limit its spread. Vintage permits it but rarely calls for it, given the format's reliance on non-creature engines. Eladamri's Call is not legal in Pioneer, Standard, or Pauper, which concentrates its identity squarely in Commander and Legacy fringe applications.

Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Shared Summons is the closest budget alternative — same instant speed, hits two creatures instead of one, but costs five mana rather than two, which is a meaningful difference in the early turns where tutors matter most. Fauna Shaman and Chord of Calling are worth considering if you want a repeatable outlet or a convoke-discounted option respectively, though both require more setup than the clean two-mana simplicity of Eladamri's Call.
Price Context
Current price
$12.45 mid tier
At $12.45, Eladamri's Call sits in the mid tier — expensive enough to feel like a deliberate include but cheap enough that any creature-heavy Commander deck with white and green can justify the slot. It has been reprinted multiple times, which keeps the floor from collapsing further, and demand from competitive creature toolbox builds provides steady upward pressure.
