About Ancestral Vision
Ancestral Vision, Sorcery, designed by Mark Poole first released in Oct, 2006 in the set Time Spiral and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.56.
This card, Ancestral Vision, is best suited for control decks looking to generate card advantage and outvalue their opponents in the late game. While it is a powerful draw spell, there are better options available such as Ancestral Recall or Dig Through Time, which provide immediate card advantage without the need to wait for suspend counters to expire. Ancestral Vision can still see play in slower, grindy matchups where the delayed card draw can be advantageous, but it may not be a staple in every control deck.
Rules
03/19/21
A card with no mana cost can’t be cast normally; you’ll need a way to cast it for an alternative cost or without paying its mana cost, such as by suspending it.
03/19/21
If a spell is suspended, that spell's targets are chosen when the spell is finally cast, not when it’s exiled.
03/19/21
If an effect refers to a “suspended card,” that means a card that (1) has suspend, (2) is in exile, and (3) has one or more time counters on it.
03/19/21
If you can’t cast the card, perhaps because there are no legal targets available, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it’s no longer suspended.
03/19/21
When the last time counter is removed, the second triggered ability of suspend triggers. It doesn’t matter why the last time counter was removed or what effect removed it.
03/19/21
You are never forced to activate mana abilities to pay costs, so if there is a mandatory additional mana cost (such as from Thalia, Guardian of Thraben), you can decline to activate mana abilities to pay for it and hence fail to cast the suspended card, leaving it in exile.
03/19/21
You can exile a card in your hand using suspend any time you could cast that card. Consider its card type, any effects that modify when you could cast it (such as flash) and any other effects that stop you from casting it (such as from Meddling Mage’s ability) to determine if and when you can do this. Whether you could actually complete all steps in casting the card is irrelevant. For example, you can exile a card with suspend that has no mana cost or that requires a target even if no legal targets are available at that time.
06/07/13
Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can’t be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it.
06/07/13
As the second triggered ability resolves, you must cast the card if able. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type are ignored.
06/07/13
If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those if able. However, if an additional cost includes a mana payment, you are forced to pay that cost only if there’s enough mana in your mana pool at the time you cast the spell. You aren’t forced to activate any mana abilities, although you may do so if you wish.
06/07/13
If the spell requires any targets, those targets are chosen when the spell is finally cast, not when it’s exiled.
06/07/13
When the last time counter is removed, the second triggered ability of suspend will trigger. It doesn’t matter why the last time counter was removed or what effect removed it.
06/07/13
You can exile a card in your hand using suspend any time you could cast that card. Consider its card type, any effect that affects when you could cast it (such as flash) and any other effects that could stop you from casting it (such as Meddling Mage’s effect) to determine if and when you can do this. Whether or not you could actually complete all steps in casting the card is irrelevant. For example, you can exile a card with suspend that has no mana cost or requires a target even if no legal targets are available at that time.
