'''''Future Sight''''' is an expansion set, codenamed "Pop", for the trading card game [[Magic: The Gathering]]. The set was released worldwide on [[May 4]], [[2007]]. The pre-release events for this set were held on [[April 21]] and [[April 22]] [[2007]].<ref name="future-sight-announcement">{{cite web |url=http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/arcana/1097 |title=Announcing ''Future Sight'' |work=Magic Arcana |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2006-06-12 |accessdate=2006-09-27}}</ref> |

|||
==Storyline== |
|||
[[Teferi]], [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: J#Jhoira|Jhoira]], and [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: V#Venser|Venser]] continue their battle to heal the time rifts that plague [[Dominaria]]. The rift in Tolaria is so severe that it cannot be healed in the present day. In order to remedy it, Karn travels back in time. He manages to close the time rift, but in the process is lost. |
|||
The planeswalker [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: J#Jeska|Jeska]] returns to Dominaria. Finding her friend Karn gone, she becomes angry and is manipulated by the planeswalker [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: L#Leshrac|Leshrac]] into using [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: R#Radha|Radha]] as a kind of mana focuser to close the time rifts without using up her planeswalker spark. She sets out to continue her mentor's work, and seals both the [[Zhalfir#Zhalfir|Zhalfirin]] and [[Terisiare#Yavimaya Forest|Yavimayan]] rifts, respectively losing Zhalfir proper and [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: M#Multani|Multani]] in the process. It is revealed later on that Leshrac was using Jeska to gain the dark power of one of her former selves, [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: P#Phage|Phage]]. Having gained that power, Leshrac then challenges the powerful planeswalker Nicol Bolas to a duel, only to be defeated by him. Bolas then uses what remains of Leshrac to seal the Madaran rift. |
|||
Once again in charge of her own actions, Jeska enters the Otarian rift to try and seal it with the help of both Venser and Radha. During their efforts, they merge to form an alternate version of [[List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: K#Karona|Karona]]. At the final stage, Jeska teleports both Venser and Radha to a safe location, sacrificing herself to seal the final rift.<ref name="Future Sight expansion page">{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/expansion/futuresight |title=''Future Sight'' |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> |
|||
==Set Details== |
|||
''Future Sight'' contains 180 cards.<ref name="future-sight-announcement"/> The expansion symbol is an eye looking through a rift portal.<ref name="future-sight-logo">{{cite web |url=http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/arcana/1270 |title=''Future Sight'' Logo and Symbol |work=Magic Arcana |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-02-14 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> The designers of the set are [[Mark Rosewater]] (lead), [[Matt Cavotta]], [[Devin Low]], [[Mark Gottlieb]], Ryan Miller, and [[Zvi Mowshowitz]]. The developers of the set are Mike Turian (lead), Matt Cavotta, Matt Place, and Brian Schneider.<ref name="future-sight-announcement"/> |
|||
The set has "[[Time Spiral#Timeshifted cards|Timeshifted]]" cards, as first confirmed by Mark Rosewater.<ref name="Purple Reign"> {{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr247 |title=Purple Reign |first=Mark |last=Rosewater |authorlink=Mark Rosewater |work=Making Magic |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2006-09-25 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> Unlike ''Time Spiral'', the Timeshifted cards are not direct reprints of older Magic cards but rather are cards that may appear in future sets.<ref name="Inquest"/><ref name="The Future is Now"/> These cards have normal rarity symbols as opposed to purple, and are considered a part of the expansion, not a separate sub-set. Also, the Timeshifted cards in Future Sight have been given a new frame. Another difference is that Future Sight has many mechanics spread among many cards, instead of several focused mechanics in many cards.<ref name="The Future is Now">{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr274 |title=The Future Is Now, Part 1 |first=Mark |last=Rosewater |authorlink=Mark Rosewater |work=Making Magic |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-04-09 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> |
|||
Another Magus cycle—creature cards that refer to cards from the past—made its appearance as well; the cycle in Future Sight echoes enchantments from past sets.<ref name="Inquest"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr264 |title=The Timeshifts They Are a Changing |first=Mark |last=Rosewater |authorlink=Mark Rosewater |work=Making Magic |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-01-30 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> For example, the card {{mtgcard|Magus of the Moon}} has the same ability as the enchantment {{mtgcard|Blood Moon}}. |
|||
''Future Sight'' also introduced a new card type – tribal. Tribal cards utilize a subtype that matches a creature type. The tribal supertype had been planned for the [[Lorwyn]] set, and was timeshifted into future in the card {{mtgcard|Bound in Silence}}, a "Rebel Enchantment". |
|||
==Mechanics== |
|||
{{Cleanup-list|date=January 2008}} |
|||
The following are mechanics released in this set:<ref name="G5-27 Attachment">{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/402 |title=Magic, Now With G5-27 Attachment! |first=Matt |last=Cavotta |authorlink=Matt Cavotta |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-04-30 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref><ref name="From the future">{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/af169 |title=Are you from the Future? |first=Aaron |last = Forsythe |work=Latest Developments |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |date=2007-05-04 |accessdate=2008-08-03}}</ref> |
|||
* '''[[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 exile 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 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. |
|||

|||
* from [[Mirage (Magic: The Gathering)|Mirage]] block: |

==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 to 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"/> |
