Precognition Field card art
Precognition Field gives you a permanent scry 1 at the start of every upkeep — yours and everyone else's — which stacks into meaningful top-deck control over a long game. The three-mana enchantment is slow to break even, but in decks that flicker it with something like Ghostly Flicker or grind through long turns, it earns its slot.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern legal
pioneer legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Precognition Field is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it only seriously belongs in Commander. In longer 40-life multiplayer games, repeated scry triggers across multiple opponents' upkeeps compound quickly — five turns in, you've shaped your draw substantially. In faster formats like Modern or Legacy, three mana for a do-nothing enchantment is simply too slow against the pace of threats on the table. Commander is where Precognition Field lives, specifically in blue control or spellslinger shells that benefit from incremental card quality over raw card advantage.

Price Context

Current price

$0.21 bulk tier

At $0.21, Precognition Field is deep bulk — easy to pick up as a throw-in or cheap acquisition for any blue Commander build. Bulk enchantments at this price point don't trend upward without a reprint spike or sudden combo breakout, so don't expect the price to move.
