As Foretold

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a time counter on As Foretold.

Once each turn, you may pay {0} rather than pay the mana cost for a spell you cast with converted mana cost/mana value X or less, where X is the number of time counters on As Foretold.

Hi there,

This looks excellent! Would Greater Auramancy make sense in here? I've found Grasp of Fate to be really excellent at stopping opponents' key cards (simultaneously), although that sometimes unites them against you of course). Also curious whether you've left out Smuggler's Share intentionally (and if so, what your reasoning for that was). I would definitely recommend Burgeoning, as in play-groups of 4 or more this grants you much more of an advantage than Exploration does, though it wouldn't hurt to have both in here either. How would you feel about Counterbalance? Obviously it depends on luck, but in my experience it can really prove its worth from time to time. And that look of dread on opponents' faces whenever they cast something and they don't know whether you'll be able to retaliate ... glorious :) Aside from that, wonder what your take on Archmage Ascension and As Foretold would be in a deck like this.

Keep up the great builds!

Elnxida on Cost Reduction Cards

I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).

If something is not a trigger, like an activated ability (boast on Axgard Braggart) or an alternate way of casting a spell (like with As Foretold), then it would not make sense to say it triggers once per turn. Then you activate it once per turn, or use it once per turn. It's more of a language issue than a card mechanic issue.

A few mentioned being burned out by the concept of 'only engaging in product you like' and the Universes Beyond. I am still slowly coming to terms with Dr. Who and LOTR sliding up alongside my Magic at the table. I am not engaging myself...but I honestly kind of glaze over when they sit down at a table with me. Does anyone else do that? Someone plays a Samwise Gamgee or The Tenth Doctor and my brain does not register them as anything relevant to me until they interact with my things or a name I recognize in a meaningful way. Like, until The Tenth Doctor put three time counters on As Foretold I really could not care that he was present at all until he did that. I know the player read off his abilities when she cast him...I asked because I was unfamiliar with that entire commander set...but I kind of brushed it off for no reason I could discern. I don't think the neighboring players were doing anything more threatening at that point, but it just didn't matter. It was not part of my gameplay experience at that point. Magic is actively making me fatigued and apathetic about games I'm actively playing by adding all these extras and in realizing this I'm a little distressed about that?

Rhadamanthus on Dream Devourer and 0 Cost …

Dream Devourer doesn't work but As Foretold does.

Ancestral Vision and friends have empty/nonexistent mana costs, and these kinds of costs can't be paid. The only way to cast a spell with an unpayable cost is to use an alternative cost that's payable or an effect that casts it "without paying its mana cost" (this is why suspend works for the Vision). Dream Devourer gives the card a foretell cost that's still unpayable, [empty cost] - {2} = [empty cost], but As Foretold gives an alternative cost of {0}, which is payable.

Whoodini on As Foretold and Buybacks

1 year ago

Can i pay buybacks such as Clockspinning with As Foretold? Or can i atleast pay remove the 1 converted mana cost and then pay 3 for buyback separately?

scotchtapedsleeves If I may make a guess on draftdump69's behalf, you don't. The Ovalchase Daredevils are supposed to be discard fodder for The Underworld Cookbook, helping reach delirium for Dragon's Rage Channeler and recurring with a stream of food tokens. If a 4/2 body is needed for some extra pressure, you can bring it out with Electrodominance or As Foretold.

Opened The Goose Mother as my promo, looked at all my green and blue to see if they're was something there. Got a nice deck with lots of green food cards, and blue flyers and control spells. A bit of ramp too. Notable synergy of Gingerbrute and Welcome to Sweettooth worked really well, especially if you put down an additional food token during the second chapter turn.

Splashing white for both Threadbind Clique and Twining Twins's adventures was easy, with Evolving Wilds, Return from the Wilds and As Foretold and a single plains, I was never struggling to find the colors.

I ended up going 5-1, only losing the game where I didn't draw my first Island until turn 7. It's was enough for 2nd place out of 24. It was a good day.
