Good use of Foretell, reducing the cost for an effect that is best in certain time windows. Perhaps this is a cycle of instants (ahem counterspell for blue). Bluff factor is maximized here as well.
cool, i like this one. this is probably one of the only ones with that style of effect i'll actually run because its a relevant tribe and fairly cheap to cast, cheaper still if you foretell it
Isn´t this bad? It cost 3 mana, so why fortell the card when that too will cost you 3 mana? You might aswell have the card in your hand waiting for a board wipe and then cast it. If the card itself costed like 5 or 6 mana it would make sense to Foretell it for 3 mana in total

Why would it be bad because it has an alternate casting cost? It's good at 3 mana. That said, it's much easier, especially for a creature-heavy deck to have a single mana open than having three mana open. If you cast a 2 drop on turn 4 and have nothing else in hand, you might as well exile this. Then in later turns, you can use more of your available mana—generally a good thing—and only need to keep a single mana open. Obviously the trade off is that your opponent knows you have something up your sleeve. At the same time, they might also play around this card whether or not they know this is the card you foretold. It's an all-around great card. Another take on Caller of the Claw with different lines of play. I like it.
so we get now zombie berserker token... i mean we already had zombie cards with all kinds of 2nd creature types... but never human (why is it worthwile to give a creature the type zombie elf but not a creature the type zombie human... thats racism)
can they now erata all older cards that give other tokens like knights and soldiers a creature type like human ?

well, there's mostly no downside to foretelling.
unless a corner case like Drannith Magistrate on the battlefield arises, and you have the mana to spare.
foretelling it will allow you to wipe the board with something in the lines of Shatter the Sky and cast this spell alongside it for just 5 mana instead of the 7 it would cost to do it any other way.
it's not a spell you will want to foretell unless you have mana to spare, hell, after all it's not every turn that you're able to spend everything anyway and being able to pay 2 out of the 3 mana upfront may generate a good tempo advantage.
also, will protect the foretold spell from discard.
just remember that foretold exiles the card face down, so you don't really even give up on much information doing that assuming that there's enough playable foretell cards

Wait! Cauldron Familiar with this? Was it safe? Men, just to think this could have been another Oko situation...
The Drannith Magistrate asks, "how may I be of assistance?". Not in-set, of course, but it does have that effect.
What will be over-the-top is a Foretell mechanic on "counter target spell".
