Where it came from
Anticipate was first introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Dragons of Tarkir set, released in 2015. It was designed as an efficient blue common, providing players with a way to dig through their deck for specific answers or threats while maintaining card parity. This specific iteration, appearing in The List, features the reprint art first showcased in the Core Set 2019, which serves to maintain a consistent aesthetic for the card across various reprint cycles.
The art for this version was commissioned by Wizards of the Coast to reflect the instant-speed utility of the card, often depicting a character in a moment of foresight or magical calculation. The design intent focuses on mechanical versatility, allowing players to look at the top three cards of their library and keep one. This iteration has been well-regarded by the community for its simplicity and the critical role it plays in providing stability for blue-based control and tempo decks throughout its lifespan in multiple formats.
