The Future Sight set arrived five years after the card named Future Sight was first printed in Onslaught. The Future Sight set was part of the Time Spiral block, bringing with it cards and designs that had ostensibly been pulled from the future of Magic, many of which have come to pass in the year since.

One of these ‘futuristic’ design ideas was the unique Future Sight border, and Fans have been clamoring for the card Future Sight to be reprinted in this style ever since.

Mystery Booster 2 has finally seen that request answered, and fans on Reddit have been sharing extremely positive reactions to this fun choice. One fan said: “This is a version I’ve wanted for so long.”

Another player compared Mystery Booster 2 favorably to Magic’s ‘un’ sets: “This set is approaching unset levels of memes and I love it so much for that.”

Modern Horizons sets recently have included a single card per set named after a block or set in MTG’s past, including Urza’s Sage and Aether Revolt. Several cards across Magic’s vast libraries share their names with sets, and fans look forward to which names will inevitably crop up in card titles next.
