Planeshifted cards were familiar effects in different colors as if they were alternate reality prints. There were three types: timeshifted, planeshifted (or colorshifted), and futureshifted.įutureshifted cards were all about being “pre-prints:” Cards that didn’t exist until that point and were guaranteed to show up in later sets like Boldwyr Intimidator. Oh, glorious timeshifted turns, how I love them! They played a huge part in the mechanics that revolved around Time Spiral’s theme during the original printing. Without further ado, here are the mechanics present in this set! Timeshifted Cards I expect fun, chaotic matches where players simple enjoy the nostalgia of the cards we played and loved before. I’m very excited to play this in a limited format because of the mechanics present in this set. That said, there’s probably an elephant in the room you’re wondering about right now… Set MechanicsĪh, some of the most powerful mechanics ever created on MTG returns in Time Spiral Remastered. While those cards aren’t confirmed to be coming back just yet, they’re a good example of the Time Spiral theme. These cards destroy a creature in the past, in the same turn, and on a future turn respectively. These consist of Premature Burial, Cradle to Grave, and Grave Peril. This could bring back some cards that like to punish or play off things that have happened, that are happening, and that will happen on the battlefield.Ī good example is the Ezrith cycle of cards. Cards with mechanics and effects based around time are likely to be reprinted. It’s all about time: past, present, and future. Since this is a remaster of the original Time Spiral block, it’s a pretty easy call to say the theme and flavor of the set will be the same. This is a reprint set, so don’t expect a change in where these cards can be played. As for eternal formats, the legality will depend on each card individually. That said, this set is similar to those before it in that it won’t be Standard-legal. Booster packs will also be available at your local game store. The launch party started on March 19 and ended on March 20, with WotC supporting remote play on a discord server partnered with the people of ChannelFireball. There was, however, a special release event on Magic Online. This unfortunately means we won’t be able to experience the set on Arena like we got to with the previous remasters. While those sets were featured on MTG Arena, Time Spiral will be remastered solely for paper Magic. Time Spiral Remastered is sitting in a different spot compared to its Amonkhet and Kaladesh predecessors. Clockspinning | Illustration by Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszal
