When the last time counter is removed, you just sacrifice the card. Vanishing is kind of the opposite of suspend. You can simply think of this creatures as very powerful for their mana cost, but with an expiration date. Nether Traitor | Illustration Vance Kovacs When the last counter is removed, cast the card without paying its mana cost. At the beginning of your upkeep, you remove a time counter. Rather than casting the card for its mana cost, you may exile it with N time counters, where “N” is the number after the word “suspend,” by paying the suspend cost. SuspendĪnother powerful mechanic is back! This will be the only kind of suspension you’ll be excited for. You can then turn that creature face-up for its morph cost and trigger its ability. To sum up this ability, you simple cast a card with morph for three colorless mana and you get a 2/2 colorless creature. Morph creatures will always have you thinking, “what could be hiding under there?” Should I cast my wincon? What’s in that card!? Well, the colorless and typeless 2/2 creatures are here again to surprise you with their “turned face-up” abilities! But, a new ruling that went into effect on Maadded a little stipulation to that: “players may turn face-down creatures face-up while a spell with split second is on the stack.” So, if your face-down card has a trigger ability “counter target spell when faced-up,” you can now finally counter these annoying split second spells like Angel's Grace. Speaking of fast, nothing can beat this mechanic! This is what split second says: “As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.”īasically, the card with the split second ability will always resolve first. They’re reprinted with the pre- Mirrodin border as well! Split Second Now we’ve got a new set of timeshifted cards in the remastered set, but they’re all from Magic’s Modern era. Finally, Timeshifted cards were a bunch of pre- Mirrodin reprints that kept their old border as if being brought up from the past. An example of this would be Damnation being Wrath of God in black. Planeshifted cards were familiar effects in different colors as if they were alternate reality prints. There were three types: timeshifted, planeshifted (or colorshifted), and futureshifted.įutureshifted cards were all about being “pre-prints:” Cards that didn’t exist until that point and were guaranteed to show up in later sets like Boldwyr Intimidator. Oh, glorious timeshifted turns, how I love them! They played a huge part in the mechanics that revolved around Time Spiral’s theme during the original printing. Without further ado, here are the mechanics present in this set! Timeshifted Cards I expect fun, chaotic matches where players simple enjoy the nostalgia of the cards we played and loved before. I’m very excited to play this in a limited format because of the mechanics present in this set. That said, there’s probably an elephant in the room you’re wondering about right now… Set MechanicsĪh, some of the most powerful mechanics ever created on MTG returns in Time Spiral Remastered. While those cards aren’t confirmed to be coming back just yet, they’re a good example of the Time Spiral theme. These cards destroy a creature in the past, in the same turn, and on a future turn respectively. These consist of Premature Burial, Cradle to Grave, and Grave Peril. This could bring back some cards that like to punish or play off things that have happened, that are happening, and that will happen on the battlefield.Ī good example is the Ezrith cycle of cards. Cards with mechanics and effects based around time are likely to be reprinted. It’s all about time: past, present, and future. Since this is a remaster of the original Time Spiral block, it’s a pretty easy call to say the theme and flavor of the set will be the same. This is a reprint set, so don’t expect a change in where these cards can be played. As for eternal formats, the legality will depend on each card individually. That said, this set is similar to those before it in that it won’t be Standard-legal. Booster packs will also be available at your local game store. The launch party started on March 19 and ended on March 20, with WotC supporting remote play on a discord server partnered with the people of ChannelFireball. There was, however, a special release event on Magic Online. This unfortunately means we won’t be able to experience the set on Arena like we got to with the previous remasters. While those sets were featured on MTG Arena, Time Spiral will be remastered solely for paper Magic. Time Spiral Remastered is sitting in a different spot compared to its Amonkhet and Kaladesh predecessors. Clockspinning | Illustration by Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszal
