Clairvoyance

Ice Age Common

"Look at target player's hand. Draw a card at the beginning of the next turn."

A brief rundown of the card:

A seemingly harmless spell, yet Clairvoyance can reap very important information on the first turn of a duel. Most seasoned players can determine the style of deck they are facing with but one peek at an opponent's hand. See a Necropotence? You know you'll want to save a counter or Disenchant for that. See an Armageddon? You'll probably be wanting to hold some lands in your hand. See a whole bunch of creatures? You'll know to set up defense as soon as possible. What else can we do with Clairvoyance? Here's a few ideas:

• Nebuchadnezzer
  Eliminate all the guess work when using Nebuchadnezzar with Clairvoyance. Slowly eliminate a choice card from your opponent's hand every turn, while allowing them to keep the cards your deck can contend with.
• Rag Man
  Know before you bother paying BBB to use Rag Man's special ability if it will be benificial or not. If they don't have any creatures in their hand, use the three black mana for something more productive.
• Booby Trap
  Most players use many duplicates of spells in their deck. Now that Mishra's Workshop is unrestricted in type 1 play, Clairvoyance is a pretty good way of letting you know what card to call in advance when you play a second or third turn Booby Trap.
