Where it came from
Anticipate was first introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Fate Reforged set and was later reprinted in the 2020 expansion Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths as card number 40. The card serves as a staple blue instant, designed to provide players with card selection by allowing them to look at the top three cards of their library and keep one. This mechanic is a classic example of low-cost utility that helps players navigate their decks during the flow of a game.
The artwork for this version was provided by Kieran Yanner, a prolific contributor to the game's aesthetic who has illustrated dozens of cards over the past decade. Yanner’s interpretation of the card for the Ikoria set utilizes the bold, creature-focused style characteristic of the plane, which was themed around mutated beasts and wild survival. The design prioritizes clarity and functional readability, maintaining the consistent visual language that Wizards of the Coast requires for its common-rarity spells.
