Witness of Tomorrows is a four-mana 3/4 that lets you scry 2 at the beginning of each end step — persistent, repeating library manipulation stapled to a reasonable body. The cost is that it does nothing the turn it enters and won't win you the game on its own, but as a value engine in decks that want top-deck control, it delivers every single turn.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Witness of Tomorrows is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker. Pauper is where it has the most realistic competitive claim — repeating scry 2 at common is genuinely powerful in a format that grinds, and a 3/4 body blocks meaningfully. In Commander, it slots into any blue deck that wants to sculpt draws over a long game, particularly topdeck-matters builds or sphinx tribal. Legacy and Vintage have too much raw card advantage at lower costs for Witness of Tomorrows to see serious play, and Modern and Pioneer have enough efficient card selection that four mana for a non-interactive body is a steep ask.

Price Context
Current price
$0.03 bulk tier
At $0.03, Witness of Tomorrows is deep bulk — pick up a dozen copies for the price of a pack and never think about it again. Bulk commons rarely move on secondary market unless a deck goes viral, so treat this as a free inclusion, not a spec.
