Fire Prophecy

Fire Prophecy Mechanic Color

Hi Mark. Back when I started playing magic, Fire Prophecy was in standard. I quite liked that card for being able to put things back in the library. How is this mechanic called, and in which colors is that primary/secondary? Why hasn't this effect been printed in subsequent sets? We see a lot of rummage/loot, but not this.

It’s a variant of rummaging (discard, then draw) which is primary in red.

About Fire Prophecy Mechanic

Fire Prophecy allows you to put a card from your hand on the bottom of your library to draw a card. Are we looking at a new rummage/loot form that can show up from time to time? Does R&D sees this as more or less powerful than regular rummage/loot?

It’s just a variant. Discarding to graveyard and discarding to bottom of library are pretty similar from a resource standpoint.

Prophecy Card Cycle Prospects

I recently noticed a connection between "Prophecy" from Homelands and "Fire Prophecy" from Ikoria. Do you think we will ever see a full cycle of prophecies using the 'Eye art' format?

There are no current plans for an eye cycle.
