White Tutors

What are the best white tutors in MTG?

The best white tutors in MTG are the ones players actually reach for, and a handful of those measurably raise your win rate. The list below ranks every mono-white tutor in Magic: The Gathering by how many tracked Commander decks run it, counted from real games on Playgroup.gg. Where a card has been played enough for us to measure its effect on winning, and that effect is clearly positive, its win-rate lift is shown beside the count.

Deck counts are drawn from 146,944 tracked decks on Playgroup.gg.

Tutors in the other colors

A white deck can also run every colorless tutor, and most Commander decks are not mono-colored:

How this list is built

The candidate pool is every Commander-legal card carrying Scryfall's tutor oracle tag with a mono-white color identity, minus the cards whose only search is for lands. Multicolor cards are excluded on purpose: a white tutor should go in any white deck. Each card is counted across every non-archived tracked deck whose mainboard contains it, and the list is ordered by that count.

Most tutors do not measurably change whether you win. We compare decks that run a card against decks on the same commander that do not, pool those matched comparisons, and ask whether the difference is bigger than chance; only a handful of cards clear that bar. Ordering a list by a number whose confidence interval crosses zero for most of its rows would be ranking sampling error, so the list is ordered by deck count instead and the measurement rides alongside.

A win-rate lift appears beside a card only when it has been played enough to judge and its measured effect is clearly positive: minimums on games with the card, on separate commander groups and on distinct pilots, a cap on how much of the sample any one pilot may hold, and an interval landing entirely above zero. A card that was measured and came out flat gets an empty cell rather than a number near zero, because a number near zero reads as a verdict and this one is not.

Read that figure as a difference, not a multiplier. A +2.2% lift means a deck running the card wins 2.2 percentage points more often than decks on the same commander without it: 27.2% of its games rather than 25.0%. It is not a 2.2% relative increase, and it is not a claim that the card wins 2.2% of your games on its own.
