Shadows over Innistrad Remastered features the set-defining cards and iconic mechanics you remember from both Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon but with updated gameplay to make this a fun and fresh experience. The combined card count from across the two sets is 302 cards (including 15 lands), with a focus on the Limited play experience (Draft and Sealed), Pioneer, and continued support for Historic.
Shadows of the Past
As with Amonkhet Remastered, a series of non-block cards (81 total) are distributed throughout the boosters.[6] However, Shadows over Innistrad block did not have a Masterpiece Series, so the cards are instead from original Innistrad block, which would otherwise be outside the purview of Explorer anthologies.
The cards of Shadows of the Past will run as a bonus sheet but with a digital twist: each week will feature a different batch, 18 cards each. The pool of drafters will be maintained, so players may experience cross-sheet drafting. The four general themes are "Creature Type Terror" (tribal effects), "Fatal Flashback" (flashback spells), "Morbid And Macabre" (death and sacrifice triggers) and "Abominable All Stars" (other iconic spells, Mythics, has 24 cards).
Packs bought from the store will not be partitioned by theme or schedule and could have anything from the bonus sheet.
Mechanics
Mechanics in this block already on Arena include DFCs, Delirium, Investigate, Madness and Meld. From the original Innistrad block, Flashback and Undying reappear.
Mechanics that are unique to Shadows over Innistrad block are Skulk, Emerge and Escalate. From original Innistrad block, Morbid reappears.
