Most of the cards in Planar Chaos were inspired by cards from Magic's past.[1][2][3]
Allusions
In General
On Planeshifted cards
Card | Inspired by | Notes |
---|---|---|
Blood Knight | Black Knight, White Knight. | Mirrors. Blood Knight was the placeholder name for the Scourge set's Silver Knight. |
Calciderm | Blastoderm | The only timeshifted member of the vanishing cycle (see cycles section on the set page)(with Vanishing 4 rather than Fading 3, usually producing about the same lifespan). |
Damnation | Wrath of God | Art, artist, and mechanics. |
Essence Warden | Soul Warden | Art |
Fa'adiyah Seer | Sindbad | Its' name, Fa'adiyah, refers to the forest on the plane of Rabiah. |
Hedge Troll | Sedge Troll | Mirrors |
Keen Sense | Curiosity | Keen Sense represents a moment in the Exodus storyline that could only have occurred had things transpired between Mirri, Crovax, and the dark angel Selenia very differently. |
Ovinize | Humble, Ovinomancer | The sheep art also refers to Ovinomancer, who has the ability to turn creatures into sheep. |
Piracy Charm | Funeral Charm | The only timeshifted member of the Charm cycle (see Cycles section on set's page) |

Primal Plasma | Plasma Elemental, Primal Clay | Mechanics and Art. The only card timeshifted from an artifact. |
Prodigal Pyromancer | Prodigal Sorcerer | Ability and flavor text |
Riptide Pilferer | Headhunter | Riptide Pilferer depicts a merfolk spy lurking under the docks of the Riptide Project, the wizards' laboratory off the coast of Otaria where cephalid and human mages traded secrets and replicated slivers. |
