Timespiraling is a slang term used by Magic R&D to describe spells that enables or forces a player to shuffle their hand and graveyard into their library, and then draw seven cards.[1] It is a subset of Wheel effects.
Description
Timespiraling is named after the eponymous Time Spiral from Urza's Saga, although it was first seen on Timetwister in Alpha.
The effect provides card advantage and negates mill strategies of opponents. Its strength is when more of one's permanents are on the battlefield before their opponent's, and hence their card advantage is minimized while the caster's empty hand is refreshed. It is mostly flavored as a reset of time.
The effect is primary in blue.
