{"product_id":"ancestral-vision-acrylics","title":"Ancestral Vision (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAncestral Vision\u003c\/em\u003e is a blue sorcery from \u003cem\u003eTime Spiral\u003c\/em\u003e with the suspend 4 mechanic - (U) (Rather than cast this card from your hand, pay {U} and exile it with four-time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.) \u003cem\u003eAncestral Vision\u003c\/em\u003e is often played because of its synergy with cascade effects (can be cascaded into), and useful in shells that can stall the games long enough for the suspend to pay off. In 2007 Paul Cheon won Standard Grand Prix Krakow with his UW “Pickles” deck that ran 4 \u003cem\u003eAncestral Vision\u003c\/em\u003e. In legacy it has long time been a staple in Shardless BUG Control decks ever since \u003cem\u003eShardless Agent’s\u003c\/em\u003e printing in 2012. This was a grindy deck with plenty of removal and discard spells to interact early game and could refuel later after suspending an early \u003cem\u003eAncestral Vision\u003c\/em\u003e. Paired with \u003cem\u003eShardless Agent\u003c\/em\u003e, it made one of the best control decks at that time, since you could sometimes cascade into visions and just draw three free cards when it resolved. Other control\/combo decks like Aluren also included this package to take advantage of this powerful card advantage engine. Wizards unbanned \u003cem\u003eAncestral Vision\u003c\/em\u003e in Modern (effective April 8, 2016), where it saw lots of play in control decks such as Grixis and UW Control and also in UB Faeries. Together with the card \u003cem\u003eAs Foretold\u003c\/em\u003e, it also made a strong combo in the Restore Balance decks since you could often cast the card for 0 mana generating a big advantage. Ancestral Vision is not on the reserved list and has been reprinted several times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762019725357,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Ancestral_Vision_Poole_Original_Art_front_a_9a7ba84c-aed7-4b22-9f84-ba7477b864c7.jpg?v=1775812809","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/ancestral-vision-acrylics","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
