Reality Scramble
Sorcery
Put target permanent you own on the bottom of your library. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card that shares a card type with that permanent. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.)

Reality Scramble pulls a permanent off the battlefield and replaces it with the top permanent of its type from your library — a repeatable tutor-on-a-spell when you build around it. The retrace cost makes it the real engine: as long as you have lands to pitch, you keep firing it.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Kykar, Wind's Fury
Kykar, Wind's Fury generates Spirit tokens on every noncreature spell, and Reality Scramble is exactly that — each retrace activation funds the next, while the Spirits fuel sacrifices or attacks and the spell count snowballs your hand and board.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Reality Scramble earns its slot — the singleton format rewards the tutor half, and multiplayer games run long enough that retrace turns surplus lands into multiple activations. Legacy and Vintage allow it but have no reason to run it over faster, cleaner answers. Outside Commander and Oathbreaker, the card is simply not legal, and Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander appeal at a smaller scale.

Price Context
Current price
$0.44 bulk tier
At $0.44, Reality Scramble sits firmly in bulk territory — it costs less than a draft pick and carries no financial friction for any deck that wants it. Bulk rares at this price point rarely spike unless a new commander breaks them wide open, so grab it now and don't think twice.
