If this is casual, should go red just for {Soldier of Fortune}

So far the only ones that force the person to search are {Collective Voyage} and {Fertilid}. All of the other ones say "may" or wouldn't trigger {Archive Trap} at all.

Ruling for Archive Trap:
'A spell or ability causes a player to search his or her library only if it specifically contains the word "search" in its text. For example, if a spell or ability lets a player look at the top four cards of his or her library and do something with one of those cards, that's not a search.'

{Archeomancer} will return the collective voyage to play it again, plus {snapcaster Mage} {mystic retrieval}

They would be directed more towards the {archive traps} then them but I get your point. And {elixir of immortality}

You could but you still get lands. Even if you don't want them.

But you could choose to pay 0 for {Collective Voyage}, yeah?
Correct, but as long as I pay one, every one is forced to search and shuffle

I think technically you could force a search and shuffle even if {X} is zero.

I know it's off-color, but {Maralen of the Mornsong} would do a fine job for you.

Hmmm can I splash black... It's fog/mill/defender.
