Summon on Sight
Chord of Calling is a precision tool for decks that want creatures now and can pay with what is already on the board. Cast X{G}{G}{G} and use Convoke to tap your team as a portion of the cost, then search your library for a creature card with mana value X or less and put it directly onto the battlefield. In practice the card trades mana for tempo, enabling surprise threats and instant answers without waiting a turn.
From a Ravnica perspective this spell reads like a guild rite where allies answer the call. Chord of Calling rewards deckbuilding that stacks flexible targets and creatures that can both attack and help cast spells. Play it in midrange builds that want big bodies faster or in creature toolbox shells that rely on specific answers. The printed text matches the original ruling and is reliable under tournament play.
