More tutors. This is good. I like this. Especially when you can just choose functional reprints

Choose three of the same card for the hell of it.

cheap, decent tutor, and in {R}{G} - nothing to hate!

You can use this to get three creatures with the same CMC so your guaranteed a solid play on the turn used or the next.

DEMONIC TUTOR? Hell no. Eldamari's Call? Still no. Those two cards are insane. But this.. eh it's okay...
If used "correctly" this is about as good as Gamble.

If you don't search for 3 different creatures, they get shuffled back in automatically.
Really, it's not quite as bad as some would think, especially if the things you're trying to get can be tutored with a Mwonvuli Beast Tracker. In that case, you can search for 2 different creatures you want and the Tracker; if you get one of the ones you wanted, great! If not, you can just drop the Tracker and tutor it up anyway.
I'm planning on running a playset of these in a Standard Borborygmos Enraged deck, along with 2-4 Borborygmos and 4 Deadly Recluse to block with.

Bleh. Most decks don't even rely on more than two different bombs. Having to choose at random just makes this even worse. Why push down the level of Eladamri's Call so much, especially when they're the same rarity and CMC?

Decent enough. Planning on using this in an EDH deck, it'll help in gathering a decent creature, a 2 cost tutor that's an instant and can grab me one of 3 different creatures who'll be a bother? Please! Off the top of my head that's any titan (shame Prime is banned) pending your colors, or Sylvan Primordial (Prime's lame cousin?). 4/5 does what it needs, plays well for casual.
Are people really upset this is weaker than some of the most broken cards in Magic? Seriously?
It's a great card and deserves more than its current 3.0 rating. It may not give you what you want all the time, but if you pick a, say, Wolfir Silverheart, a Thragtusk and a Huntmaster of the Fells, then no matter the result you'll be glad you casted this.

Finally played a copy of this and WOW. Being able to tutor for stuff is great. Pick three creatures you could play with your current mana base and you're guaranteed a drop. I'm not a huge fan of G/R but cards like this are changing my mind quickly...

Great card for people who like to have fun. Also, think of the possibilities for EDH...

This would have been way more interesting if people didn't see which card was randomly picked.

Absolutely amazing in limited, we'll have to see how it does in constructed though as the randomness hurts it. Is this banned in EDH yet?

Running this in a Nia Landramp deck. Running 4 of these helps me a ton because it frees up my options for creatures. If I really need to blow this to get me some more mana dorks, I can fish out Arbor Elf, Avacyn's Pilgrim or Burning-Tree Emissary. (This is super rare I have to blow Signal the Clans for this, mind you.) For mid-game, I've got it targeting Firemane Avenger, Thragtusk and Huntmaster of the Fells. Chances are I'm going to gain me some life out of this to counteract some of the damage an aggro deck is going to deal to you. For late game, I am only running a single one of each of these but they all end games: Aurelia, the Warleader, Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Gisela, Blade of Goldknight.
This card is stupid good. I don't understand why a TUTOR CARD is rated so low. Just because there's some randomness involved? Big deal. Redundancy is your friend.
@Sonser Sounds like you are spending 2 mana to do nothing

I choose Mold Shambler, Brutalizer Exarch and Terastodon. Or my fun 3 Zealous Consc r ipts, Mindclaw Shaman and Wolfir Silverheart. A fun card which adds a small amount of dandomness to a much needed tutor. Also nice with a Yeva in hand. - also allows you to play Panglacial Wurm whilst you are searching for other things ( for 5GGGR).

I think this was designed with bloodrush in mind. It is an instant, so you search for 3 creatures that you can bloodrush cheap, so that no matter which one you get, your creature will deal more damage.

Prime for any Commander deck. Just choose three of your best fatties and see which you get. In the right deck this is a win-win-win card.
I thought I would ask here before asking on the rules board about this, card because a heated debate was had over this card (though it was a casual torment) over at what point the cards seleceted with signal the clans are no longer visible to other players and is this card still visible when it is picked at random, thus, allowing the other players to know which card was picked at random of the cards that were made visible. So are all the cards still considered visible when one is picked at random? Random picks can be made with dice rolls and not necessarily always by cards that are face down when picked. So do the other players know which card was actually picked at random since the cards were made visible by the signal the clans before hand?

In standard, this is okay, as there are relatively few cards for right now that enable the caster to directly search their library for a creature. Searching the library is a big difference from drawing a card, something that seems to be easy to forget. In creature-heavy decks this can be a great utility card, especially with Blood-Rush creatures replacing instants or sorceries, enabling more targets for a search.
Personally though, I would actually prefer to play something like Wild Guess over this, simply put because I feel the fact that the creatures must be revealed ruins most of the strategic value this card can offer. Not only does this force you to pick creatures with different names to have any effect, but the two creatures that are shuffled back into your library will only alert the opponent to what you are running.

Werewolves seem a lot more playable now.
