I have a couple of rules questions regarding Future Sight. As far as I know, the top card of your library is revealed at all times except when shuffling or looking at the top cards of one's library (like using SDT). I was just wondering if there was an official ruling of exactly when its is revealed during certain effects.
For example, I was told that with Future Sight out and you play Ad Nauseam, you will know the top card before each time you choose to repeat the draw. So you will know how much life you are going to lose. Is this true?
Also, during a Brainstorm, since it says draw 3 cards, would the opponent see all 3 of them? Would they get to see the 4th card down while you are deciding what to put back? Will they get to see each card you put back?
How about Impulse?

217.2f. Some effects tell a player to play with the top card of his or her library revealed. If the top card of the player's library changes while a spell or ability is being played, the new top card won't be revealed until the spell or ability becomes played (see rule 409.1i).The rest you can figure out once you know that Future Sight will always update whenever it gets a chance. The only time it can't update is when time doesn't exist (as far as the game is concerned), which is during single actions.217.2e & 217.2f
These rules are being swapped, so the new 217.2f can be close to the new and related 217.2g.
217.2g
This new rule will state that if a player is playing with the top card of his or her library revealed, and that card stops being revealed for any length of time before being revealed again, it's treated as a new object. "Any length of time" includes instances as short as shuffling your library (during which time no card is revealed) or rearranging the top few cards of your library (ditto).
Drawing cards is unique, because a multiple card draw will always actually be broken up into multiple single card draws.
Ad Nauseam, yes. Anything that repeats is going to be at least one action per repetition, and Ad Nauseam has two - reveal/put and lose life.
Brainstorm yes on each draw, no on putting each card back. Putting the two cards back is a single action. Each draw becomes one action, as above.Ad Nauseam 3BB

Reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its converted mana cost. You may repeat this process any number of times.
Impulse you didn't ask a question, but since it's "look", only the top card is revealed while you're looking, and then the fifth card down would be the next revealed because "Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library." is one action. Your opponent doesn't have to know what card you take, even if it's the revealed card - while you're moving cards you can temporarily hide the revealed card even though it's technically revealed.Brainstorm U

Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.
Impulse 1U

Look at the top four cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”
