Set details

“  History, Retwisted  ”

Time Spiral Remastered is a new way to experience the Time Spiral block originally released in 2006-2007. It features fan favorites from Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Future Sight all distilled into one draft experience.[2] The set includes 289 cards from the Time Spiral block sets (121 commons, 100 uncommons, 53 rares, 15 mythic rares). As with the original Time Spiral set, each pack contains one timeshifted card. Time Spiral Remastered is not featured on MTG Arena.

Although cards from the respective sets appear in Time Spiral Remastered, the Planar Chaos planeshifted or Future Sight futureshifted frames don't.[5]

The design of Time Spiral Remastered predates the digital Amonkhet Remastered and Kaladesh Remastered, and was mostly inspired by Tempest Remastered.[5]

Timeshifted cards

Main article: Time Spiral Remastered/Timeshifted

The 121 timeshifted cards of this set are a specific selection of cards similar to the original Time Spiral "outside the set and outside of time" timeshifted cards.[6] The timeshifted cards feature modern cards in a retro (pre-Modern) card frame and with a purple expansion symbol. Premium foil versions also have the "shooting star" watermark used on pre-Modern set foils. These cards are numbered #290 to #410.

The timeshifted sheet doesn't contain any of the original timeshifted cards. Neither does it contain planeswalkers. The cards from the timeshifted sheet all have the same rarity.[7]

Marketing

Draft pack

Time Spiral Remastered will be sold in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (one card being a marketing card).[8] These are the only sealed products available for the set — there are no Collector, Set, or Theme Boosters. The boosters feature artwork from Serra Avenger, Sidewinder Sliver, and Stuffy Doll. The Draft Pack (a packaging of three Draft Boosters) features artwork of TBA.

Events

Themes and mechanics

The returning mechanics from the original Time Spiral block include echo, flanking, flashback, morph, shadow, split second, suspend and vanishing.

In addition, there are multiple mechanics appearing on just a few or even a single card, as references to specific cards from Magic's past, or from "futureshifted" cards. These include absorb, buyback, convoke, cycling, delve, hellbent, kicker, madness, poisonous, storm and transmute.

Card types

Time Spiral Remastered creature-type themes include Merfolk, Rebels, Thallids, Saprolings and Slivers.[9] The slivers are concentrated in red, green, and white.[2]

Time Spiral Remastered has seven cycles, including one vertical cycle.
