| '''Tim''' is a nickname for the card <c>Prodigal Sorcerer</c>. The card got this nickname because it is a wizard that can damage objects on command, akin to the character Tim in the movie ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_Grail Monty Python and the Holy Grail]'', and the art in later printings was changed to make the homage more direct. Tim is also now used as a verb to describe the action of dealing one damage.

| In its Alpha print, Prodigal Sorcerer's artist attribution is incorrect; on it, it reads that Douglas Schuler is the artist, but this is not the case - Douglas Shuler is the artist.
| |
| | |
| Formerly merely a Wizard, in [[Time Spiral (set)|Time Spiral]], <card title="Prodigal Wizard">Prodigal Wizard|Time Spiral</card> was reprinted and its creature type was corrected to reflect the race and class system.
| |
| | |
| ==Planar Chaos==
| |
| <c>Prodigal Pyromancer</c> introduced in [[Planar Chaos (set)|Planar Chaos]] is a [[timeshifted]] version of the Prodigal Sorcerer. The card is more fitting in red and there was speculation at the time that it would be reprinted in a [[Core Set]] eventually.
| |
| | |
| This theory was confirmed when [[10th Edition]] was released.
