Tempest Remastered is a Magic Online-only reprint set that was released on May 6, 2015. It was available until May 27, 2015, but was expected to return at a later date.

Description

Tempest Remastered was intended to support the Legacy format, and got sought-after cards into the hands of players.[2] It did not perform as well as Wizards of the Coast had hoped.[3]

For Tempest Remastered, R&D revisited the Tempest block. The 621 cards from Tempest, Stronghold and Exodus were reduced to the best 269 and the best playing archetypes. The set contains 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares, and 20 basic lands.[4] There's no new art, but the cards have received new card frames. Several rarity shifts allowed for a better draft environment.[5][6] Green received lots of rarity downshifts because it was easily the worst color in the original set. On the other hand, a couple of strong red and black creature-removal spells were removed. The Licids were considered a failure and they didn't make it into the set either.[7] Cycles (e.g. Slivers) were broken up.

Because digital isn't bound by the Reserved List, Tempest Remastered was able to feature 22 cards from that list. Excluding basic lands, the set contained 143 cards from Tempest, 58 from Stronghold and 48 from Exodus.

Booster packs

Tempest Remastered was available in booster pack form, with each booster retailing for $3.99. Each pack contained:

Each pack had a chance at a premium card replacing one of the common slots, with the same odds as other Magic booster packs.

Cycles

Tempest Remastered has three complete cycles:

Cycle name {W}{U} {U}{B} {B}{R} {R}{G} {G}{W}
Allied-color Slivers Crystalline Sliver Hibernation Sliver Acidic Sliver Spined Sliver Victual Sliver
Each of these 2/2 Sliver creatures has a converted mana cost of 2 that requires two allied colors of mana to pay.
Nap lands Thalakos Lowlands Rootwater Depths Cinder Marsh Mogg Hollows Vec Townships
Each of these uncommon dual lands can be tapped for {C} or one mana of two allied colors; if tapped for the latter, it doesn't untap during your next untap step.
Cycle name {W}{B} {U}{R} {B}{G} {R}{W} {G}{U}
Enemy-color tap-pain lands Salt Flats Caldera Lake Pine Barrens Scabland Skyshroud Forest
Each of these uncommon lands come into play tapped and can be tapped for {C} or one mana of two enemy colors; if tapped for the latter, it deals 1 damage to you.
