Menges painted what could be considered a forgery of his own artwork from images of the original card for use in Time Spiral.
• Dementia Sliver is the only member of the multicolored sliver cycle that does not mimic an enchantment.
• Paradox Haze is the first Aura with Enchant player printed in black border. It was inspired by a submission to the You Make the Card event.
• Prismatic Lens is strictly better than Mana Prism and Celestial Prism.
• Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII is the first card to have an entirely italicized name.
• Thunder Totem is the only card in the Totem cycle whose artist is not the same as the card it refers to.
