I was playing a game of Magic last night, and a friend of mine said that they errata'd all the Cantrips (draw a card at the next upkeep) to now say "draw a card immediatley" to make it easier for newbies to understand:

1) Is this true?
2) If it is, that means Arcane Denial sux 100% worse (I counter ur spell and u draw 2 cards now).
3) If it is true though, with 4 Baubles/4 Foresight/4 "Foresight from Invasion" u could skim ur deck donw to like 10 cards on the first turn. Hmmmmmmmm......

No, it isn't true. All new cantrips that have been printed beginning in Weatherlight use that formula, but the old ones still say upkeep. Otherwise Urza's Bauble would indeed be in high demand :)

"Foresight from Invasion" does draw the card immediately, as do several more efficient spells (Peek).

I believe the old cards were errated to take effect at the beginning of the next turn.

And then erratad back to beginning of upkeep.
