ART: Art made by vagman13 IDEA: vagman13 NOTES: this works by revealing your opponent's hand like precognition.Instead of lasting for 1 turn ,this last while the Telescope is in play.1 telescope is revealing the card in the first slot(from top to bottom),second Telescope reveals the second slot  etc etc. Upped version does not require time quanta (similar to FW/AW) so that it can be used in many decks.   . SERIES:

Another option I am considering is making this Time's fractal/miracle. Change it to spell and For 8/7  and draining all time quanta,you can view the entire hand of your opponent for the rest ofthe game.


Thoughts?

Did you draw the telescope by hand or use a rendering program? It looks really good!

I'm not sure if allowing hand reveal to all decks is a great idea (for the upped). I think it should probably still cost quanta...
Other than that though, it seems like a nice card. Very low key, but possibly quite useful in the right deck types...
One neat addition would be to allow the telescopes to shuffle the opponent's hand. E.g. randomly shift the locations of the cards in their hand.
This would have no real effect on the opponent's gameplay, but would allow the user to see the opponents card more easily.
This could serve as a good way to distinguish the upped and unupped versions as well.

Practically does this with the benefit of giving you the possibility of playing a card that is not even in your deck. Non-stackable, though.


Similar thematic, same element, although a spell instead of permanent. But then again, there's the nymph.

I think the first slot in the hand is the topmost slot, mindgate effectively lets you see the upcoming bottom-most slot... unless I have my ordering reversed...
Mindgate is not fully effective as a card viewer though thanks to SoBr and other draw power cards... and SoSe as well. These allow the opponent to draw / generate cards faster than mindgate will allow you to see them... of course you would need several telescopes to overcome this anyway...

I think this card is interesting, but it needs a little something extra to be worth the card space in a deck.
