Sage of the Beyond, Creature — spirit giant, designed by Cristi Balanescu first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim Commander and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that focuses on casting spells from exile or the graveyard, such as a reanimator or flashback deck, would benefit from using Sage of the Beyond. While it provides a cost reduction for spells cast from anywhere other than your hand, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Jace, Vryn's Prodigy or Snapcaster Mage. However, Sage of the Beyond could still see play in decks looking to take advantage of its cost reduction ability and foretell mechanic.

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.

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.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Sage of the Beyond). The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
