Description

Foretell helper card

During your turn, you may pay and exile a card with foretell from your hand face down. You may cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost (the mana cost listed as part of the foretell keyword). Foretelling is optional, so you can always just cast the spell as normal if you're looking for a more immediate impact.

Foretell essentially splits the cost of a card over two turns. The implementation has roots in Echo (installment costs), Suspend (setting the card into exile for cheaper casting later), and Morph (hidden information, uniform baseline, installments). Some cards have additional benefits if the spell was foretold before being cast.

Each card with foretell has a raven watermark.

Cards interacting with Foretell

• With Ranar the Ever-Watchful in play, the first card you foretell each turn costs to foretell.
• Alrund, God of the Cosmos gets +1/+1 for each foretold card you own in exile.

Rulings

• You can't cast a foretold card on the same turn you exile it.
• Casting the spell from exile uses all the same timing rules the spell normally has.
• In exile, you must keep your foretold cards clear. Your opponents won't know what the cards are, but they'll know which card you foretold first, second, and so forth.
• At the end of the game, if you still have any foretold cards in exile, reveal them to all players so they know the future you foretold was an honest one.
