Poison the Cup, Instant, designed by Colin Boyer first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
This card, Poison the Cup, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on removal and card advantage. The ability to destroy a target creature at instant speed is valuable, and the potential to scry 2 if foretold adds extra utility. While there may be more efficient removal spells available, the flexibility of foretelling this card and the added benefit of scrying make it a solid inclusion in the right deck, especially in a slower, more controlling strategy.

Because exiling a card with foretell from your hand is a special action, you can do so any time you have priority during your turn, including in response to spells and abilities. Once you announce you’re taking the action, no other player can respond by trying to remove the card from your hand.

Casting a foretold card from exile follows the timing rules for that card. If you foretell an instant card, you can cast it as soon as the next player’s turn. In most cases, if you foretell a card that isn’t an instant (or doesn’t have flash), you’ll have to wait until your next turn to cast it.

If the target creature is an illegal target as Poison the Cup tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t scry 2 if Poison the Cup was foretold.

If you’re casting a foretold card from exile for its foretell cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
