I’ll only be pointing out the cards that are the biggest bangers in their color or something interesting about them. Everything in the subset is played in at least one format, so everything’s going to find a home in a deck somewhere. Wizards selected the timeshifted cards with constructed play and for Commander in mind. All but nine cards are legal for the Modern format, and sixty of them are legal for Pioneer. This subset is like a miniature Modern Masters set. All 121 cards in the timeshifted subset are reprints from cards introduced in Mirrodin or later in the original card frame. This is certainly the biggest treat for Magic players who have been playing since the nineties and early aughts. There’s nothing in the way of new cards in Time Spiral Remastered, but there are some things worth looking at in the set, whether you were around for it the first time or are coming into things fresh.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Timeshifted Standouts Future Sight ’s theme of possible futures contained cards with their own unique frame and were cards that could one day see a reprint in a Standard-legal set or a forecast of a possible mechanic, even if the cards needed to make it work didn’t exist yet. These cards functioned exactly the same as their original versions, though sometimes with adjustments to make them fit the overall spirit of the card. Planar Chaos ’s theme of an alternate reality had cards that had their own frame and were “colorshifted” versions of cards. Cards in the regular set were heavy on callbacks from the game’s early history. Every pack of Time Spiral contained one timeshifted card with their own purple rarity symbol. These cards used the original card frame, their original illustrations, and had updated rules text. Time Spiral featured a subset of 121 cards that were reprints of cards from 1993’s Limited Edition to 2003’s Scourge. The block featured new mechanics such as suspend and split second and reused nearly every mechanic in the game’s then thirteen-year history. The block’s theme is about time-the past, present, and future: Time Spiral is themed on the past, Planar Chaos is themed around an alternative present reality, and Future Sight is themed on possible futures. The block itself is very complicated, both mechanically and in its flavor. In the end, they undid all of the time anomalies and changed the nature of the planeswalker spark, paving the way for Wizards to finally introduce the planeswalker card type in 2007’s Lorwyn expansion and their powers in the story. The story of Time Spiral block was focused on characters from Magic’s backstory who survived the Phyrexian Invasion and their efforts to undo the effects of the shenanigans of their own doing or of their predecessors such as Urza and Nicol Bolas. The three blocks before it (Mirrodin, Kamigawa, Ravnica) were set on other planes of the multiverse and had little to do with Dominaria, though some characters from Magic’s history had some connection to them. It was the first block set on the plane of Dominaria since the release of Scourge in 2003. The Time Spiral block occupies a peculiar place in Magic’s history.
Like the Remastered sets before it, Time Spiral: Remastered is a reprint set with a list of cards selected from the three sets of the original Time Spiral block sets released in 20: Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Future Sight. Time Spiral: Remastered will also not be legal for the Pioneer format as a whole, but seventy cards in the set are reprints of cards in Pioneer-legal sets. Cards printed in Time Spiral: Remastered will not be legal for play in the Standard format unless a card happens to be in a Standard-legal set already (and there are eight of them as of this writing). Time Spiral: Remastered will be available on MTGO and for tabletop on 19 March 2021.
#TIME SPIRAL MTG SERIES#
Similar to the original Time Spiral, the set features a series of cards printed in the past and “timeshifted” foward, though this new set features cards that were first printed in the Mirrodin expansion in 2003 or later instead of reprints of the original timeshifted subset, and these cards have been printed in the original card frame (pre-8th edition).
The biggest twist of Time Spiral: Remastered is its timeshifted subset of cards. The theme of this set borrows from the MTGO-only set Tempest Remastered and the Arena-only sets Kaladesh and Amonkhet Remastered but with the added twist of bringing the remastering to print formats.
Time Spiral: Remastered is a reprint set like Modern Masters or Double Masters before it.
