[edit] Set Details

Future Sight will contain 180 cards. [1] The expansion symbol is an eye looking through a rift portal. [3] The designers of the set are Mark Rosewater (lead), Matt Cavotta, Devin Low, Mark Gottlieb, Ryan Miller, and Zvi Mowshowitz. [1] The developers of the set are Mike Turian (lead), Matt Cavotta, Matt Place, and Brian Schneider. [1]

The set will have "Timeshifted" cards, as confirmed by Mark Rosewater. [4] Unlike Time Spiral, the Timeshifted cards will not be direct reprints of older Magic cards. [4] These cards will have normal rarity symbols as opposed to purple, and will be considered a part of the expansion, not a separate sub-set. [4] Another Magus cycle (powerful cards from the game's past in creature form), this time based on enchantments, has also been confirmed. [5][6]
