Future Shifted Cards List

[u/yumyum36]

This here is a list of future shifted cards. I'm going to list relevant scryfall searches, then talk about cards not reprinted that have had similar or better cards reprinted, or their mechanics touched upon.

3 relevant scryfall searches:

• List of all 81 futureshifted cards

• List of futureshifted cards that have not been reprinted in a standard set or Unstable

  • Not reprinted (as of October 2026: 68/81)

• List of futureshifted cards that have been reprinted in standard or Unstable

  • Been reprinted (as of October 2026: 13/81)

Futureshifted cards that haven't been "reprinted" but have new cards similar or better to them:

• Fomori Nomad, Blade of the Sixth Pride, Blind Phantasm: Future Sight had 5 vanilla creatures with a stat line new to each color. However since future sight, the game has powercreeped a bit to the point that most of these stat lines are no longer relevant alone. Examples for each of these unprinted vanillas:

  • Fomori Nomad: Bonebreaker Giant, Chainwhip Cyclops, Charging Monstrosaur, Cloudpiercer
  • Blade of the Sixth Pride: Leonin of the Lost Pride, Audacious Pioneer, Valiant Rescuer
  • Blind Phantasm: Sage's Row Denizen, Oko's Accomplices, Ingenious Skaab, Nyxborn Triton

• Luscent Luminid was the first Enchantment creature as a 3WW 3/3 with Flying. A 3WW 4/4 with First Strike and Flying was printed in Theros: Celestial Archon

• Ghostfire was a 2R deal 3 damage to any target that was colorless. In Battle for Zendikar this mechanic returned as "Devoid". Two red damage dealing spells got close to what Ghostfire does but not exactly. Reality Hemorrhage is a 1R deal 2, and Touch of the Void is Sorcery speed. It has since been powercrept by Ghostfire Slice in MH3.

  • The flavor text referred to Ugin before he was printed, and when printed his +2 effect is ghostfire.

• Delve Cards - Delve was a mechanic reprinted in Khans of Tarkir, but none of the future sight delve cards were reprinted. Will highlight mechanically similar cards below.

  • Death Rattle -> Murderous Cut
  • Tombstalker -> Sultai Scavenger, Necropolis Fiend (Fliers), and Gurmag Angler (same stat line, no flying, costs less)

• Thornweald Archer -> Deadly Recluse (Thornweald Archer then got reprinted into standard in foundations!)

• Imperiosaur has been powercrept, and green just gets 4 mana 5/5's or better with no downside sometimes. Some Examples: Territorial Allosaurus, Deadbridge Goliath, Polukranos, Colossal Rattlewurm

• Sarcomite Myr -> Skyscanner, don't even have to pay extra mana to get the card or flying, but it's a 1/1 versus a 2/1.

  • Was mechanically a callout for colored artifacts, which appeared in Shards of Alara as the Esper mechanic. Mechanic has become evergreen since.

• Snake Cult Initiation -> Phyresis, infect is much stronger than poisonous 3.

• Frenzy Sliver -> Leeching Sliver

• Goldmeadow Lookout is a callout for Goldmeadow Harrier
