Set details
| “ | Embrace the Darkness | ” |
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. 129 cards of Shadows over Innistrad and 85 of Eldritch Moon were not included in the set.
The following cards were released with new art: Bloodbriar, Crow of Dark Tidings, Drag Under, Galvanic Bombardment, Sigardian Priest, Tamiyo, Field Researcher and Ulvenwald Mysteries.
Shadows of the Past
As with Amonkhet Remastered, a series of non-block cards (81 total) with expansion code SIS were 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 ran as a bonus sheet but with a digital twist: each week featured a different batch, 18 cards each. The pool of drafters was maintained, so players could experience cross-sheet drafting. The four general themes were "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). Immerwolf received new art.
Packs bought from the store were not partitioned by theme or schedule and could have anything from the bonus sheet.
