Type icons

Future Sight sported specific type icons for different card types. If the card had a single card type, this icon indicateed what it is: claw marks for creature, a flame for sorcery, a lightning bolt for instant, a sunrise for enchantment, a chalice for artifact, and a pair of mountain peaks for land. If the card had multiple card types, that was indicated by a black and white cross. [2]
