    Destroy target creature. If this spell was foretold, scry 2. Foretell 1 generic mana black mana (During your turn, you may pay 2 generic mana and exile this card from your hand face down. Cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost.)

    Dark schemes cut down what armies cannot.

    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.

    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.

    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.
