This gal's pretty awesome. In a green deck, she'll grab you exactly what you need? Your opponent tossing around Vapor Snags like candy? Bring in Primal Huntbeast.. Need something to block flyers? Go for Sentinel Spider. She also makes it easy to just include 1 or 2 of really large creatures (Like Elderscale Wurm or Moldgraf Monstrosity), because you can tutor for them if you want them/once you get the mana. The fact that she only puts it on top of your library is a bit disappointing, but green was never the tutor color, so I guess we'll have to take what we can get.

Too bad it only puts the card on top of your library, and doesn't have flash. Given the limitations on what you can tutor up, you'd think you could get your card straight away! Then again, has no shortage of tramplers, deathtouchers, reachers, and hexproofers, so no worries there. Probably very useful in Commander.

I like her. Might be fun in Limited or Casual with Roaring Primadox.

This is the kind of thing green needs, ways to get card advantage/be more consistent while still fitting the green color philosophy. Yeah, you get to tutor, but it is for a creature with an ability used in combat, which is where green wants creatures to go. 5/5

I like it. It's like a Worldly Tutor glued to a creature. Great for finding bombs in limited

Wow, the only thing I got that ressembles this is Fierce Empath. There are differences between this and the empath, but I feel like this card is overall better. The major difference for me is the casting cost restriction which is absent on this card.

@lorendorky: you don't look into a scope with both eyes open, unless it's got a binocular eyepiece.
Play her with Lurking Predators. Also, the art reminds me of older cards.

conjurer's closet gets you a fresh new set of clothes er....creature each turn.
I was playing for fun with my draft deck after an FNM against a mill/permission deck. I cast this and the guy just grinned and said "okay that sounds fine". I got curious at the the upbeat tone in his voice and then looked at his board. I forgot he had a vedalken entrancer out and I had already started to look through my deck. I imagine my face paled at that point as I turned the deck over and began to shuffle it as I muttered the words "I fail to find".

Does the OR mean that creature with death touch AND reach can't be searched for?

Help here.
Do any rules state that when Mvonvuli Beast Tracker enters play, you can get a creature that says 'if ... this creature gains trample'? Or vice versa? Like The Primordial Hydra?
Thanks.

Pro tip: Use this card to fetch the best creature to help you in your present situation.
Does anyone know if this can fetch Huntmaster of the Fells, since Ravager of the Fells has trample?

I'm not sure what Mwonvuli means... but I think it roughly translates to CARD ADVANTAGE.

i play it in a deck with soul of the harvest and if you activate the trigger from soul of the harvest first then mwonvuli, he will resolve first letting you go get your creature, then drawing it with soul of the harvest.

I think this is going to become much more useful when Gruul and Simic are released in Gatecrash in STD. She has great synergy with the Planeswalker Domri Rade and GU has traditionally had top-card-of-the-library shenanigans anyway.

Domri Rade + this finally gives GR an efficient tutor method, I love it.

I have fun with her in a R/G multiplayer deck with Stampeding Wildebeests, along with Hornet Queen, Dragonlair Spider, Overwhelming Stampede, blah blah blah flavor. She is great for what she does, but I too am sad she doesn't search for shroud.
Use shrieker's ability to mill yourself and buff with Woldspine's manacost. attack with 12/12 flying. Worldspine goes back into your library.
And if you draw another Tracker or blink the one you have on the field you can do it again!

T1: Land, mana dork. T2: Land, Descendants' Path T3: Land, one drop, this.
Requires a god hand, but could potentially be very funny. Personally I prefer Scute Mob so I can tutor up stuff like Giant Adephage, but it's just personal preference. Stuff like Slumbering Dragon works well too, but not many dragons with trample or one-drop wurms... Still, you could just wait another turn.
Contrary to popular ambiguity, Mwonvuli is NOT on Shandalar! o.O You aren't likely to know anything about Mwonvuli unless you were playing during:
1) Mirage Block- a time when the map of Dominaria was a main concern of Vorthoses and each successive block since Antiquities set gave us more of the picture :)
2) Invasion Block (which I think is the dating of the map I linked to.)
3) Time Spiral Block, which has Mwonvuli Acid, which can arguably called one of the best LD cards ever-- kills their land *and* gets you a new land?! For Just 4 mana!?

I used to think "Mwonvuli" was such a goofy name when I pulled a Mwonvuli Ooze years ago. That was a goofy card too. But this "beast tracker" is no joke. If I have it in my opening hand, I might be able to turn this out on turn three, putting Primal Huntbeast, where he can join on turn three. If it's a couple turns later, I'm always fond of Terra Stomper, whose counterproof nature makes me not shy about letting people know it's coming. Large fatty flyers threatening my wellbeing? I could fish for Sylvan Primordial which has the fun side effect of destroying other people's stuff and getting land out of my library. Or I could get a Silklash Spider.
This is as good as a Worldly Tutor in a deck like this. Other than the mana elves which are mainly there to help make stuff like this hit the board earlier than it's supposed to, the creatures generally have one of these abilities.

Play Mindshrieker
Next turn play Mwonvuli Beast Tracker and search for Worldspine Wurm and put it on top of your library.
Use shrieker's ability to mill yourself and buff with Woldspine's manacost. attack with 12/12 flying. Worldspine goes back into your library.
And if you draw another Tracker or blink the one you have on the field you can do it again!

Arcana, not errata: this cool card actually has ties to the now-defunct Epic Past of Magic: the Gathering!
