Notes
- Three Planeswalkers hail from the past. Teferi is depicted before he gave up his planeswalker's spark to seal a time rift, [15][16] Freyalise before she died while sealing another time rift, and Ob Nixilis before he became a demon.[17]
- The basic lands are reprints related to each planeswalker's history. Guided by Nature and Peer through Time have reprints from Time Spiral because Freyalise and Teferi are from Dominaria. Forged in Stone and Sworn to Darkness have reprints from Zendikar as it is Nahiri's home plane and Ob Nixilis' current location. As there were no basic lands in Conspiracy to represent Fiora, the basic lands in Built from Scratch are reprints from Core sets.
