Foretell shows you what an opponent's open mana can actually cast right when it matters. Enter the mana you can see (white, blue, black, red, green, flexible sources like Treasure, and colorless), and Foretell instantly lists the instant-speed spells that mana can pay for in the current Standard pool or the Limited set you choose. HOW IT WORKS - Choose an environment: the current Standard card pool, or a single Draft/Sealed set - Tap in the mana sources you can see on the battlefield - Browse a short, prioritized list: removal, counterspells, combat tricks, protection, flash threats, and more - Tap any card for full Oracle text, mana cost, rarity, and casting notes RECOGNIZE PATTERNS Foretell remembers the mana you've committed with Next Turn during a session. If an opponent repeatedly holds up the same colored mana, Foretell surfaces that pattern in plain language, like "Fits 2WW held up on 3 of the last 4 turns,". BUILT FOR THE TABLE - Fast, one-thumb mana counters with haptic feedback and Undo - Offline after your first download; no network required at the table - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and light/dark appearance - No account, no login, no camera, no microphone, no gameplay capture Foretell is intended for practice, study, and casual play where all participants agree an aid like this is acceptable. It is not intended for use during sanctioned tournament play; check your event's rules and ask a judge if you're unsure. Foretell is free to use. An optional one-time purchase removes the banner ad, and a separate optional purchase lets you support the studio directly.
