	'''~~Tutoring~~''' is an informal game term~~, named after "[https://scryfall~~.~~com/card/uma/93/demonic-tutor Demonic Tutor],"~~ a card from ~~Magic:~~ the ~~Gathering. Tutoring a card means searching your [[~~deck~~]] (or occasionally [[discard pile]]~~) ~~for~~ it, ~~usually (but not always) to put that card into~~ hand. {{Card\|Saved From The Fire}} and {{Card\|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}} are ~~tutors~~, and {{C\|Gandalf}} and {{C\|Gollum}} cultures both ~~are~~ known for ~~tutor~~ effects.		'''Fetching''' is an informal game term. Fetching a card means taking it from an out-of-play area (often the draw deck) and putting it somewhere more useful, typically the player's hand. {{Card\|Saved From The Fire}} and {{Card\|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}} are popular examples, and {{C\|Gandalf}} and {{C\|Gollum}} cultures are both known for these effects. Fetching the right card at the right time can be incredibly impactful, and its increased availability correlates to the game's [[power creep]].

	~~Cards~~ that [[~~download~~]] ~~other cards directly into play~~ from ~~your~~ deck are ~~also often called tutors~~, ~~and tutoring is sometimes referred~~ to ~~as fetching~~.		For the most part, "fetch" is used only when the action grabs an card that hasn't been played yet, most often "important" ones such as components of a [[combo]] or a [[silver bullet]]. In this way it is distinct from [[recursion]], which is favored when an effect pulls card that has already been played. Still, there can be overlap between the two terms and both are understood to refer to a similar phenomenon. [[Mill\|Self-milling]] strategies intentionally discard large pieces of a deck at a time and use what are typically recursion tools such as {{Card\|Barliman Butterbur, Prancing Pony Proprietor}} to fetch key cards.

	~~==See Also==~~		Putting a card into hand by any means -- including fetching it -- is subject to the [[Rule of 4]]. However, not all effects that fetch cards put them into hand. Many effects, such as {{Card\|A Wizard is Never Late}}, fetch a card and put it in play. {{Card\|Long-stemmed Pipe}} fetches a card and puts it into the discard pile, typically to then be fetched into hand with another card.
	* [[~~recur~~]]
			Strategies which fetch large quantities of cards from the draw deck are called '''filters''': they "filter out" fetched cards from the deck which allows the rest to be drawn more quickly and consistently. The most infamous of these is the "horn filter" deck: a player can start {{Card\|Gamling, Defender of the Hornburg}} to fetch {{Card\|Erkenbrand's Horn}} and use {{Card\|Dammed Gate-stream}} to fetch {{Card\|Something Slimy}} which in turn fetches {{Card\|New Chapter}}. Erkenbrand's Horn fetches followers and New Chapter heals every exertion until there are none left. Up to 28 followers can be played this way (there 22 Free Peoples followers, and 2 of them are not unique), which is enough to filter every single Free Peoples card out of the deck at the start. The result is a hand full of Shadow cards for the rest of the game, making the Shadow side far deadlier and set up much faster than a non-filtered deck.

			Fetching a card and putting it directly into play is occasionally called '''downloading''' by players familiar with Decipher's Star Trek Collectable Card Game -- it could be said that Gamling, Defender of the Hornburg downloads [[possession]]s onto himself, for example. Magic: the Gathering players may refer to fetching as '''tutoring,''' and cards that accomplish this as '''tutors.'''
