Nope. From what I’ve seen (don’t actually know their lists) they’re on full sets of Visions and Balance with no cascaders.

I knew you might have stopped checking comments, but do the Jeskai lists run ardent plea, not having restore balancentre makes it less efeective, also it forces you to discard sacrificing card advantage even more so than usual, I feel like 4 visions and maybe 1 balance is good

I agree, though whether Foretold actually belongs in that category is still unknown. What I really appreciate is that it isn’t simply good and may not be broken, despite appearances. It helps Wizards to claw back some of the faith they lost with Oath of the Gatewatch.

These cards allow us to get excited, discuss, and experiment, without breaking the format.

Good luck with the testing! I predict that you’ll find something interesting. 🙂
