I think this should be colour-shifted to Red or Green as a hate card against the blue abilities

Interesting, I guess Green makes more sense than Red

Simon O'Keeffe · 2012-05-26 16:16:22

Wasn't this going to another colour?

Kieran Symington · 2012-05-28 17:57:08

Well we kind of mentioned green or red, but I'm having a hard time seeing it there now I reread it. I guess green does do some minor library manipulation.

Could force them to predict a Creature card and make it G?

Colourshifting from U to G

Changed from dislike to like

I quite like this as a spell option for green at uncommon since it removes your lands when you don't want them on top or ruins opposing foresight. This might even be better as a common, possibly as a straight swap with Heroic End.

Potentially drawing two cards for a single mana seems really powerful, given so many foresight cards. Maybe make 1G instead?

Allan Chong · 2012-07-02 10:16:03

That's a good point! We have so much Portent that this is really easy to set up - and when you cast this on yourself with a land you don't need on top, it's basically a green Ancestral Recall!

Putting this up to actually cost the same as Divination! At least one player will have Foresight most of the time, so this will usually be an instant-speed draw 2 that either ruins opposing Portent or filters a useless card out of your deck!
