i'm not terribly fond of most newer sets but the future sight block really had some interesting card ideas that end up going into my decks, like this one

this card is great in a combo elf deck. don't know why these pro people don't use it.
you: glimpse of nature / heritage druid
opponent: negate / path to exile
You: Pact of Negation
"but you don't have any blue manna"
"so? I'm gonna win this turn"

Not once had my opponent ever did anything that made me lose the game after I played it. This card is all good.

So this may seem like a dumb question but what if you skip your next turn or even your next upkeep? If you dont have an upkeep phase then the second part of this doesnt resolve...is this correct?

I like the flavor text sort of being inspired by what this card is meant for.
"I won't play anything this turn 'cause I know it'll be countered... Or this turn... Okay, he's tapped out, no way this won't work..."
Etc. Etc.
Kudos for flavor text and function.

I wonder how well this would go over with hive mind?

I should try this out in my Dragonstorm deck. No more countering my seething songs and lotus blooms.

What happens if someone plays this, can't pay for it on their upkeep but have Near-Death Experienceand fulfill the requirement? Do they choose how the abilities stack and win, or do the abilities resolve at the same time and either nothing happens, or the game is a draw?

I think the real point of this card is more of a "Counter when I have no mana"
"I have 0 mana? Really?! You think you're safe?!?!?!" *counter*
Sure, there are "better" cards in the game... but this is a ZERO cost COUNTER spell, with the ONLY drawback being paying 2 extra Mana for an effective "Counter Spell whenever I feel like it"
It's like all the other Mana Loan cards. You Have the effect now and it casts you a little extra Mana at the beginning of your turn. Sure, 5 mana at the beginning of your turn is a little drawback, but what if you had that ONE card you needed to counter, but didn't have have the Mana to Mana Leak it, or they had the 3 mana to tap Mana Leak when you only had 2 mana left?

My poor brother. He cast this to counter my play while he was tapped out with 5 lands. I used Ajani Vengeant's +1 on his island. GG, bro.
