Monastery Swiftspear – Probably the second-most important creature in Legacy Burn ( Goblin Guide really is that good), Monastery Swiftspear also sees inclusion in Red Deck Wins, UR Prowess, Lurrus Prowess, and an assortment of others across Vintage, Legacy, and Modern. So it makes perfect sense that WotC would want to bring the card back in a card frame to match most of the rest commonly found in Legacy Merfolk variants. And, as a card that debuted in the Commander line, it’s really only playable in the old eternal formats (EDH aside, of course). True-Name Nemesis – The fourth wall breaking merfolk looks great in the old frame. Our only complaint is WotC isn’t using the original white mana symbol from pre- Fourth Edition Magic.Ĩ. It’s great to see Path in the old school white frame.

Path to Exile – A key removal card in Legacy decks such as Death & Taxes, UW Control, Nic Fit, and so on, Path to Exile also sees heavy play in Modern as that format’s only true stand-in for Swords to Plowshares. Now if only Rift Bolt would just get this same treatment someday…ĩ. That’s about to change, and Legacy Burn players can be happy to include the old-framed Lava Spike alongside their Revised Bolts and Legends Chain Lightnings. And while Lava Spike is nowhere near as versatile as Lightning Bolt or its slower variant, Chain Lightning, it is a third option that (as of yet) has never had the opportunity to be printed in the old border. Lava Spike – Three points of direct damage for one mana is kind of red’s forte. It’s no wonder it’s so popular in all of its legal formats and even less of a wonder as to why it was included in TSR’s timeshifted cards. It’s often a spell that can off a creature (by way of a -5/-5 nerf) with just one colorless mana (and four life). Dismember – This very splashable removal spell (thanks, Phyrexian mana) sees play in Vintage, Legacy, Modern, EDH… you get the idea. Even more so than many in this set due to the character’s original printing, Arcades Sabboth, taking place all the way back in 1994 with that year’s release of Legends. Arcades, the Strategist – The 2 nd most popular Bant commander and 27 th most popular overall according to EDHREC, it’s great to see Arcades, the Strategist being given the old school treatment. It’s just too bad the card doesn’t say “…to your mana pool.” at the end of its rules text. Modern colorless Tron (eg: E-Tron) players might also want to include the card in their builds for a little old school flair.
Time spiral mtg plus#
The addition of Wastes in the old card frame is an aesthetic plus for players of decks like 12-Post, Titan Post, Eldrazi Aggro, and Post-ramp. Wastes – Like in Modern, the Eldrazi decks and other colorless-focused decks are popular in Legacy. Seeing as Young Pyromancer is a key part of Legacy decks such as UR Delver, RUG Delver, and, Jeskai Stoneblade, the old frame will be a welcome addition.ġ3. Young Pyromancer – While it feels like the card has been reprinted into the ground over the past few years (it debuted in M14and has since been reprinted in EMA, DDS, 2XM, MB1, SS3, and JMP), this will be the first time the card will be printed in the old frame. Plus, the card art looks amazing in the old, brown artifact card frame. This new printing might inspire a resurgence in its use. Hollow One – Popular in Modern (at least, it was before the 2019 banning of Faithless Looting) and seen on occasion in Legacy, Hollow One is extremely synergistic with self discard. Sure, some of them aren’t winners (we’re looking at you, Talrand) and the timing on a couple of them is a tad awkward, such is the case with Simian Spirit Guide.īelow, we rank our 15 top Time Spiral Remastered timeshifted cards:ġ5.
Time spiral mtg series#
Inspired by the original timeshifted cards from the Time Spiral set (which reprinted pre-modern cards in their original card frame), this new series of timeshifted cards take selected modern cards and brings them back as if they were printed before the card frames changed post- Scourge. One hundred percent, that is, except for the new timeshifted cards. With Time Spiral Remastered, however, it’s a bit different seeing as 100% of the cards are reprints from the original Time Spiral block. When a new set comes out, we like to take a look at the cards and highlight what we perceive to be the best new cards that will soon be coming to the game.
