Teachings
Search spells are good. This one lets you search
twice. And it can be any instant, or any card
with flash. Why isn't Needlebug legal when we
need it?

Mystical Teachings
A defining card in Standard and (especially)
Block Constructed last year. This card was the
centerpiece of a strong U/B control deck that
could tutor up answers whenever needed. The fact
that this has Flashback as well is what puts
this over the top and makes it such a good card.
It can also go fetch creatures with Flash, which
is why this is Teferi's best friend (with Teferi
out, you can tutor for any creature in your deck
with this).
In limited, it's not nearly as useful because
you probably won't have very many targets, and
if you do find your combat trick with this, you
can't bluff it anymore.

Teachings
Like its predecessor and near-namesake from
Mirage, Mystical Teachings is a very powerful
card; more often than not, an instant provides
an answer, and having one nearly at will is an
amazing asset for a control deck. It even
provides card advantage by getting a second card
in the long game, provided enough mana. What's
not to like?
