can I tutor The Prismatic Bridge Flip with cards like Enduring Ideal
Asked by YaBoiShallow 2 years ago
I'm working on a shrine deck with new Neon Dynasty cards and I wanted to try out one of the Epic spells, I was planning to Use Esika so I could get out some non Enchantment support Cards, Im wondering if I can pull the bridge out with a card that tutors Enchantments, I've seen a lot of mixed answers and I want to know for sure.

No, modal double-faced cards (MDFCs) have some specific search rules to keep them from being too broken. Specifically, when an MDFC is considered to only have the characteristics of its front face except when it's being cast, it's on the stack, or it's in play (when it will be the face you chose to play).
When an effect allows you to play/cast spells or lands of a certain type, you can play any side of an MDFC that matches the requirement (for example, casting the back of Torrent Sculptor Flip from the top of your library with Melek, Izzet Paragon).
However, when an effect instructs you to search for a card, move a card somewhere, or put a card into play, it can only find the front face of an MDFC. Enduring Ideal can't find the back of Esika, God of the Tree Flip because of this.
