Where it came from
Anticipate was first released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering set Dragons of Tarkir. It was designed as a common blue instant that allows a player to look at the top three cards of their library, put one into their hand, and place the rest on the bottom of the library. This effect provides low-cost card selection, a staple utility for blue-aligned decks seeking to improve consistency during the early stages of a game.
The card’s original illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk. His vision for the piece focuses on the act of forethought and magical preparation, utilizing the distinct aesthetic themes of the Tarkir plane. Upon its debut, the card was well-received by competitive players for its efficiency, leading to multiple reprints in subsequent core sets and supplemental products, which solidified its role as a reliable tool in various constructed formats.
