How do Omniscience and Magus of the Future interact?

Asked by Laurenz 12 years ago

If i have Omniscience out and Magus of the Future can i play the top card of my library for free? And if not can you think of any cards that would allow this?

No, you can't. It states "You may cast nonland cards FROM YOUR HAND without paying ...". Since cards on the top of your library aren't in your hand you can't cast them with it.

Omniscience only works on cards in your hand, but there are some cards that come close to doing what you want-- Dream Halls , Aluren , card:Descendants' Path, Galvanoth , Omen Machine , and Temporal Aperture .

Well there's all the cards that say, "as if it were in your hand", such as Future Sight , that would potentially work, right?

I'm not sure about Future Sight working because the oracle text has changed it to be the same as Magus of the Future .

Ah, fair enough. And if it's changed on that wording, then I'll guess it's the same for the rest of the cars that are worded in that fashion.
