General Tazri
Legendary Creature — Human Ally
When General Tazri enters, you may search your library for an Ally creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
: Ally creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of colors among those creatures.

General Tazri enters and immediately tutors any Ally from your library to hand — five colors of toolbox access stapled to a 3/4 body for five mana. The tap ability is win-condition-level text in dedicated Ally lists, and the tutor alone justifies the slot.

Commander is where General Tazri belongs — it's the Ally tribal commander with the widest color identity in the game, giving access to every Ally ever printed. In Legacy and Vintage it occasionally appears in fringe Ally combo shells, but five mana is a steep ask in formats where games end earlier and tutors are faster. Modern and Pioneer have Ally synergies but lack the critical mass and slower pace that makes General Tazri's enter-the-battlefield tutor worth building around. Oathbreaker is theoretically legal but the five-color identity and high mana cost make it a poor fit for that format's constraints.

Price Context
Current price
$0.91 bulk tier
At $0.91, General Tazri is bulk — surprising given it's the premier Ally tribal commander and an immediate tutor on entry. The price reflects low casual demand outside that niche, so it's an easy pickup that's unlikely to spike unless Allies get a meaningful reprint wave.
