Where it came from
Anticipate was first released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering set Battle for Zendikar. The set was designed as a return to the plane of Zendikar, a world defined by its volatile landscapes and the ongoing conflict against the eldrazi entities. This specific printing features artwork by Steve Argyle, who depicted a mage channeling the swirling, ethereal energies characteristic of the plane's unique mana sources.
The card was included in the set to provide players with a functional, low-cost blue instant capable of card selection. It was intended to serve as a versatile utility spell for control and tempo-oriented decks, allowing players to look at the top three cards of their library and draw one. Upon its release, it was well-received by the competitive community for its efficiency, becoming a staple in various formats where deck manipulation is prioritized.
