Where it came from
Anticipate was first released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering set Dragons of Tarkir. It was designed as a functional reprint of the card Impulse, intended to provide blue decks with an efficient way to filter through their library. Within the competitive landscape of the time, the card was prized for its versatility as an instant-speed cantrip that allowed players to dig for specific answers while maintaining mana efficiency.
The artwork for this version was commissioned by Lake Hurwitz, who utilized a clean, atmospheric style to capture the essence of divination. Hurwitz focused on the magical nature of the spell, depicting a figure drawing upon ephemeral knowledge. The design was well-received by the player base for its clarity and thematic alignment with the scholarly, foresight-driven blue color identity within the Tarkir block.
