'''Time Spiral block''' is the twelfth [[Block (sets)|block]] consisting of the [[large expansion]] ''[[Time Spiral]]'' ([[image:Time Spiral symbol.gif]]) and the two [[small expansion]]s ''[[Planar Chaos]]'' ([[Image:Planar Chaos symbol.gif]]) and ''[[Future Sight]]'' ([[Image:Future Sight symbol.png|100x21px]]).  The block came out in 2006-2007.
#REDIRECT[[:Category:Time Spiral block]]
 
The theme of this block is Time; Past, Present and Future.  [[Timeshifted]] cards are part of that theme.  121 Cards from the past were timeshifted into ''[[Time Spiral]]'' (i.e. <c>Unstable Mutation</c>).  45 cards were "alternate reality" timeshifted in ''[[Planar Chaos]]'' (i.e. [[white]]'s <c>Wrath of God</c> was timeshifted to a [[black]] <c>Damnation</c>).  81 cards were "futureshifted" into ''[[Future Sight]]'' (that have not been printed before but may appear in a future set; e.g. <c>Boldwyr Intimidator</c> was later printed in ''[[Morningtide]]'').
 
This block introduced the two [[Artifact]] [[subtypes]], [[Fortification|Fortifications]] and [[Contraption|Contraptions]], in addition to the first [[Tribal]] card. These were [[futureshifted]] in ''[[Future Sight]]''.
 
[[Keywords]] introduced in this block: [[Split second]], [[Suspend]],  [[Vanishing]]
 
[[Futureshifted]] keywords: [[Absorb]], [[Aura swap|Aura Swap]],  [[Delve]], [[Fateseal]], [[Fortify]], [[Frenzy]],  [[Grandeur]], [[Gravestorm]], [[Poisonous]], [[Transfigure]], [[Cycling|Typecycling]]
 
[[Evergreen]] keywords introduced: [[Deathtouch]], [[Flash]], [[Lifelink]], [[Reach]], [[Shroud]]
 
Keywords reused from the past:
[[Bloodthirst]], [[Buyback]], [[Convoke]], [[Cycling]], [[Double strike]], [[Dredge]], [[Echo]], [[Flanking]], [[Flashback]], [[Graft]], [[Hellbent]], [[Indestructible]], [[Kicker]], [[Cycling|Landcycling]], [[Madness]], [[Morph]], [[Rampage]], [[Scry]], [[Shadow]], [[Storm]], [[Transmute]]
:No keywords from the [[Kamigawa block]] were reused.
 
All three of the expansion names in this block are also names of cards (although not from this block).
 
==Mega cycles==
*'''Ezrith-{{1}}{{b}} cycle''': A cycle of black cards that cost {{1}}{{b}} and destroy a nonblack creature at different points in time. [[Time Spiral]]'s <c>Premature Burial</c> destroys a creature in the past, [[Planar Chaos]]' <c>Cradle to Grave</c> destroys a creature during the same turn and <c>Grave Peril</c> printed in [[Future Sight]] will destroy a nonblack creature in the future. All three cards bear [[flavor text]] attributed to a character by the name of Ezrith, druid of the Dark Hours.
 
*'''Modernized Dominarian Legendary Lands cycle''': A cycle of five legendary lands, several which were previously done in another form to help show the degradation of Dominaria. This cycle consists of <c>Academy Ruins</c> (A homage to <c>Tolarian Academy</c>.), <c>Flagstones of Trokair</c>, <c>Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth</c> (A homage to <c>Urborg</c>.), <c>Kher Keep</c>, and <c>Pendelhaven</c>. This is the first time a specific Legendary Land has been featured in two different cycles.
