Magic: The Gathering's Double Masters 2022 Previews – Day Five Highlights
Through Magic: The Gathering’s Double Masters 2022 preview season, there has been a recurring meme from the community that it has been very Commander-centric. We’ve seen a huge number of reprints that are most relevant to the Commander format, and even includes former precon commanders we’ve never seen in booster packs before. This is especially noteworthy as we’ve just come off of a Commander Legends set that many criticised for being relatively low-power.

Day five of Double Masters 2022’s previews doesn’t do anything to address those jokes. In fact, it almost feels like Wizards is leaning into the label even more and giving us a day of yet more stellar cards for Commander. Today we have one of the game’s best blink commanders, numerous scary combo pieces, and, for the non-Commander players amongst us, a few great cards for Modern as well.
Two generic, one blue enchantment:
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a time counter on As Foretold.
Once each turn, you may pay zero generic rather than pay the mana cost for a spell you cast with mana value X or less, where X is the number of time counters on As Foretold.
Casting spells for free every turn is always good, which makes As Foretold a powerful card even if you play it the intended way. However, what makes As Foretold especially useful is how it interacts with cards with suspend.
Usually, if a spell has suspend, you pay the cost and place it into exile with a certain number of time counters. You then remove one each turn and can play the spell for free once you remove the last one. With As Foretold, you can completely bypass the suspend mechanic and play the spell for free straight away.
