Wow eh...someone fell asleep at the quality control wheel this time around because they took too many shortcuts.

I don't know how fair it is to blame Quality Control - are they supposed to review and be aware of all fan art just in case something like this happens? that doesn't seem reasonable. Certainly it's unfortunate for everyone involved, but the blame falls on the artist in this case, pretty squarely.
Ack. Why doesn't this work on permanents your opponent controls? That would have been so cool. I don't really run very many spells that target my own creatures, really, so this is a dead mythic to me, unless I build a new deck for him. Which, I guess, but there are a lot easier to use shapeshifters out there.
Can i still cast the foretold cards for 2 mana cheaper after the Demon is gone ?
I wondered this as well. The video probably explains it, but I don't speak JP. My guess is it DOES still work after the demon is gone, since it doesn't say "while ~ is in play", and the cards remember they have foretell in exile independent of the demon's presence.
It's too bad it doesn't gain a +1/+1 counter or something. Ah well, I like the design quite a lot and will probably play with it.
That makes sense. A big part of the issue is I mis-remembered how the enchantment worked - for some reason I had it in my head it triggered when a creature died. I should probably have read it more carefully rather than just trying to "recall" what it did!
Only if you still have a 5-cmc permanent on the battlefield. That's easy to do in green, though.
Are you sure? If you have Rootless Yew on the table, as well as In Search of Greatness, when the Yew dies two triggers go on the stack. Can't you stack the triggers so the Yew's goes first, you search and put a creature in your hand as part of that single trigger, then the next trigger would let you put the searched for card on the table?
Oof. Rough start for the rares - 0/4 I give a ***** about so far. Why would I play with either of the above when the Archive exists for any deck? https://scryfall.com/card/ori/221/alhammarrets-archive Sure, it doesn't double your initial card draw per turn like Thought Reflection I guess, but still. I think they printed these just because of the double theme, which I'm sure the article mentions, but I'm not dropping $300+ on a box where I don't care about the rares, only mythics. Bleh. Things better start picking up here.

EDIT: I missed it, my son pointed it out, but I just assumed this bolt hit all targets, and it does not. Boo.
I certainly did, and I was really excited to see another thread tracking these numbers for this set. Thanks for stepping up!
