|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Absorb|Absorb]]''' - This ability has a number, such as Absorb 2. A creature with absorb has the listed number of damage prevented if it would take damage from a given source. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Delve|Delve]]'''<ref name="Inquest"/> - A spell with Delve costs 1 colorless mana less for every card in your graveyard that you remove from the game as you play it. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Frenzy|Frenzy]]''' - Frenzy appears with a number, such a Frenzy 1. If a creature with Frenzy attacks and isn't blocked, it gets +X/+0, where X is the frenzy number. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Grandeur|Grandeur]]'''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/af166 |title=Grandeur, No Illusion |first=Aaron |last=Forsythe |work=Latest Developments |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-04-13 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> - Grandeur is an ability word that appears on legendary creatures. If a creature with Grandeur is in play, its controller may play its Grandeur ability by discarding a card with the same name. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Gravestorm|Gravestorm]]''' - A twist on the [[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Storm|Storm]] ability also seen in many cards from the [[Time Spiral]] block, when a spell with Gravestorm is played, its controller copies it for each permanent put into a graveyard from play this turn. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Lifelink|Lifelink]]''' - Whenever a creature with lifelink deals damage, its controller gains that much life. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Poisonous|Poisonous]]''' - Whenever a creature with Poisonous X deals combat damage to an opponent, that opponent gets X poison counters. Ten poison counters will cause a player to lose the game. Poison counters have been used in past sets, but this is the first time it has been assigned a keyword. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Aura Swap|Aura Swap]]''' - Aura Swap appears on Auras, and has a cost associated with it. Paying the Aura Swap cost of an Aura in play allows you to exchange that card for another Aura card in your hand. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Transfigure|Transfigure]]'''<ref name="The Future is Now"/> - Somewhat similar to the Transmute ability from [[Ravnica: City of Guilds]], a creature in play with Transfigure can be sacrificed with a cost to let its controller search his or her library for another creature with the same converted mana cost and put it into play. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Reach|Reach]]''' - Creatures with Reach can block creatures with flying. This ability has been used many times before, but this block marks the first appearance of the Reach keyword. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Deathtouch|Deathtouch]]''' - Whenever a creature that has Deathtouch deals damage to a creature, the damaged creature is destroyed. This is another effect which has been seen before but not keyworded until now. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Fateseal|Fateseal]]''' - Similar to the Scry ability from [[Fifth Dawn]], Fateseal X lets you look at the top X cards of your opponent's library (as opposed to your own library, like Scry) and place the cards either at the bottom or the top of your opponent's library in any order you choose. |
|||
* '''Assemble & Contraption''' - An ability and related new type that are hinted at on the card {{mtgcard|Steamflogger Boss}}, but do not actually appear on any of the set's cards.<ref name="From the future"/> |
|||
* '''Fortification & Fortify''' - Fortifications are a new subtype of artifact. They can be attached to land by paying a "fortify" cost, much as equipment can be attached to creatures by paying an equip cost. |
|||
* '''[[List of Magic: The Gathering keywords#Shroud|Shroud]]''' - Permanents or players with shroud cannot be the targets of spell or abilities. This is another ability which has appeared before; only the keyword is new. |

==Notable Cards== |
|||
* The '''Pact''' cycle: {{mtgcard|Intervention Pact}}, {{mtgcard|Pact of Negation}}, {{mtgcard|Slaughter Pact}}, {{mtgcard|Pact of the Titan}}, and {{mtgcard|Summoner's Pact}} - Instants with a mana cost of 0 but a cost that must be paid during the caster's next upkeep to avoid a game loss. Interestingly, the [[Unhinged]] set featured a very similar card in the [http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Rocket-Powered+Turbo+Slug Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug].<ref name="Inquest"/> |
|||
==Timeshifted Card Frame Design== |
|||
With Future Sight, the frame design of the ''timeshifted'' cards is entirely new. On ''timeshifted'' cards in Future Sight, the card's mana cost appears in bubbles curving down the left side of the card right next to the picture, appearing in the traditional order of colorless mana, white, blue, black, red and green from top the bottom. In the top left corner of each card is a symbol that tells the card type; for example, a symbol of claw marks represent a creature card. This design is to be a Future Sight ''timeshifted'' feature only, and is used to give the new cards a futuristic feel.<ref name="The Future is Now"/> |
