Where it came from
Preordain was originally released in the 2011 set Magic 2011 and quickly established itself as a staple of blue deck construction due to its efficient card selection ability. The card is designed to allow a player to look at the top two cards of their library, put any number of them on the bottom, and draw a card, providing a low-cost mechanism to smooth out a player's hand. Over the years, it has become a defining card in formats like Modern and Pauper, often serving as a barometer for how much card filtering is acceptable in competitive play.
This specific printing originates from the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander deck, released as part of a series that revisited the flavor and themes of the Tarkir plane. The artwork and design for this version maintain the functional clarity expected of the card while integrating it into the visual aesthetic of the Commander product line. It serves as a utilitarian reprint designed to provide players with accessible versions of highly sought-after utility spells for their multiplayer decks.
