Psychic Network

Enchantment

Each player reveals the top card of his or her library to all other players by continuously holding it against his or her forehead. This does not allow a player to look at his or her own card. (That card still counts as the top card of your library. Whenever you draw a card, draw that one and replace it with the next card of your library.)

Psychic Network doesn't say you're not allowed to see the card by any other means. The printed text just says its own effect doesn't allow you to see it, and its current Oracle text (yes, even Un-cards have Oracle text) says the card is "revealed to each other player". If you also have Oracle of Mul Daya then the card will be revealed to you as well.

AFAIK, this is only an acorn/silver-bordered question, but I'm hoping somebody can think of a relevant black-bordered example or equivalence.

If I control a Psychic Network and later have an Oracle of Mul Daya enter the battlefield, as I understand it, I'll have the top card of my library revealed via the Oracle and not have it pressed against my forehead.

If those enter the battlefield the other way around, the card will be revealed to everybody other than me, so I won't be able to see my top card. But I'll still be able to play it if it's a land card? Even though I won't have that information. Is there any way around not being able to play those lands, aside from casting another Oracle or Sphinx of Jwar Isle or something?

As I type this out, I'm thinking this is... maybe just a question for Blogatog. I dunno. If anybody can shine some light regardless, I'd appreciate it.

@Megalomania Thanks for your comment!

Im currently using Psychic Network instead of Field of Dreams as they are functionally similar and drastically different in price. My playgroup have allowed this as it also quite a funny card and not game breaking.

The main wincon at the moment is a Dramatic+Scepter combo creating infinite untaps. I can utilise this to mill everyone out with one of my lantern pieces then pass turn. Though I do like to utilise Nightveil Specter to use an opponents deck Vs them.

Multiplayer really does restrict Lantern's effectiveness. The trick is to let them play their deck and not lock them out. Just control the bits that are a threat directly to yourself. It usually pans out to be a "Go on.. you can have that" and have an ally for a turn or two.

Thank you for the card suggestion! Future Sight does look interesting as an effect to try to benefit against my own Ghoulcaller's Bell effects. I will give it a go and the magus that goes with it.

Hi there, hoping for some help looking for specific niche cards to help out with this deck of mine.

The deck capitalises primarily on knowing the top few cards of your own library, and to a lesser extent what's on the top of opponents' libraries.

Currently, I'm looking or cards which consistently make visible, at least to me, the top cards of opponents' libraries. Cards I have so far that fulfil this are Lantern of Insight and Psychic Network, and one of these is an Unglued and isn't accepted in certain circles.

I don't know if there even are any more cards like this because it is pretty niche, but I'd really love if somebody could point out a card or two I may have missed.

If it tickles your fancy, here's the deck in question. I'm still collecting cards for it and haven't gotten to playtest it proper, but nonetheless I think it's pretty fun: Topdeck of the century.

Keep in mind Psychic Network is an Un-Card, so if your playgroup is very casual and cool with it, definitely do it. Otherwise it's technically not legal in edh.

I was initially worried there wouldn't be enough cards to make a decently themed Commander deck here, but there's an abundance after all - I'm actually really glad with how the deck is shaping up so far!

I almost completely missed Psychic Network, what a tragedy that'd've been!

Thanks for all the help, peeps.
