This card is so flavorful, pun intended.

This is the last Future Sight card to get a reprint? Jeez, Wizards. I thought they had future sight figured out better than that. Eventide was like, 2 blocks ago.

By the time you can cast this, how many cards do you usually have? I understand it's the fast color, but that speed should be used to hurt the other player, not gain life.

Chroma is an incredibly dumb keyword. Don't get me wrong, i like the idea and i think there are some good chroma cards, (a big fan of primalcrux) but do they really need the keyword? A keyword is supposed to reduce text on a card, and there isn't a single chroma card that doesn't have a large amount of text behind the word chroma explaining what it does.
If you just saw a card and it said chroma on it, what would that even mean? It wouldn't mean anything at all without more text.
The fact that this card was originally printed in future sight without the keyword proves that they could have printed all chroma cards without it and it would have been fine, magic players are smart enough to notice patterns and we would have noticed a "mana symbol matters" pattern without this keyword.

lifegain sucks by itself, this card is a one-shot-hell-of-dependable-situational-overcosted card.

Chroma could have been such a great mechanic for {G}...instead a {G} player playing this card now loses all elements of card advantage, they reveal their hand (or at least part of it), which really gets rid of the 'guessing game' of not knowing what your opponent has...this wouldn't be such a problem in other colours like {U} or {B} where card drawing can replenish your hand quite quickly, but in {G} you have very limited card drawing.
They could've gone the other generic {G} spell route for promoting a new set, they could've had
{4}{G}{G} - Miniscule Overrun - Instant
"Reveal any number of cards in your hand, put a 1/1 green insect token into play for each green mana symbol in their converted mana costs"
It would've been fantastic...although I think the sample I gave may be a bit aggressively costed.

Can i have a Ageless Entity?
Fierce Empath looks at the Khalni Hydra in your hand and says sure.
