Whenever an Aura you control enters, if you cast it, you may search your library for an Aura card with mana value less than or equal to that Aura and with a different name than each Aura you control, put that card onto the battlefield attached to Light-Paws, then shuffle.
Picked for what they do in Light-Paws's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Light-Paws's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWPlayers write colors as letters: W for white.ToolboxToolbox decks carry one perfect answer for each kind of problem, plus plenty of cards that search the deck for whichever one they need. A card that searches your deck for another card is called a tutor.Open the Toolbox pageRepeatable TutorA search for a card that you can repeat, because it sits on a permanent rather than being a one-time spell. It works as an ability or a trigger, and it is the heart of a Toolbox deck: one card that can find the right answer every turn.

Because a Commander deck may only contain one copy of each card, a tutor is how you reliably find the exact one you need. See the Tutor tier tags for how broad each search is.
