Future Sight Sealed
May 17, 2007
While I’m on a roll with updating I might as well write about our latest MTG event. The Saturday following the wedding, there was a mini sealed event at my place: 3 Future Sight, 1 Planar Chaos, 1 Time Spiral.
I got a great set of cards and made a UGr (2 Ghostfires, 1 Conflagrate - how could I not splash red?). I pulled an Aeon Chronicler (my bomb for the day), Ancestral Vision, and a couple of back-up card advantage creatures (Citanul Woodreaders for one). It was a rather strange day for wins as the usual pecking order of wins went awry. I went 3-1 in the 1v1s and then did fairly well the DHG as well!
The new set is interesting. There are some cool library effects but as a whole, I’m not as impressed as I was with PC and TS. The new set has some very beautiful art - my favorite is definitely Blind Phantasm. What a beautiful card.
The next event will be a FS Preconstructed with 1 or 2 boosters. That should be quite interesting too.

That card looks nothing like the Magic cards that I remember. What happened to all the text? Or the little quotes that told a piece of the backstory?

It shouldn’t look familiar. It’s a card from the “future”. The theme of this set is futuristic cards being brought into the current world. These “future” cards are a possible look of cards in the future. I doubt they’ll really change the cards, it’s just for art and to keep with the theme I think.
