Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Delay, from Future Sight. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Delay is a counterspell with a sense of humor. For two mana it counters target spell, but instead of putting that spell into the graveyard, it exiles it with three time counters and gives it suspend. Three turns later, the spell comes back and its owner casts it for free, with haste if it is a creature.

That delayed return is where the tactics come in. Countering a board wipe or a game-winning spell buys three full turns to end the game or prepare an answer. Countering an X spell is a particular treat, since a spell cast without paying its mana cost has X equal to zero. And because the effect works on any spell, you can even target one of your own expensive spells to cast it for free three turns later. In Commander it is a cheap, flexible tempo play that leaves everyone at the table counting turns.

This is the original Future Sight printing, collector number 35, an uncommon illustrated by Ron Spears. Future Sight closed out the 2007 Time Spiral block, which built its identity around suspend, and Delay is a clever twist on that time-bending theme.
