Forecast Mechanic Restrictions

What made you put forecast as Upkeep-only? While it's true that WU loves to keep cards in hand, it likes controlling and responding on the opponenet's turn. All would have been much better if it was instant-speed. And of the 10 cards that use it the only ones that would've had any notable effect are Skyscribing, Proclimation of Rebirth, Pride of the Clouds, and Plumes of peace, less than half!


Restrictions don’t just breed creativity, they also lead to better game play. I’ve explained numerous times that the role of a game designer isn;t to make things easy for the player but make things a challenge. Part of the joy of gaming is achieving your objective while overcoming obstacles.
