A blink to the past: Time spiral Blue cards

Let's look at the blue cards from Time Spiral who features abilities like morph and shadow.



Ancestral Vision
It's the suspend version of Ancestral Recall. Although not as good as the P9 piece, this card is quite good.

Brine Elemental
It's a 5/4 elemental like Water Elemental. Not much can be said about him.

Cancel
This card is paint by Mark Poole, the artist who already paint Counterspell in Alpha. It's the reason why their arts are quite similar.

Deep-Sea Kraken
It's a suspended version of Tidal Kraken.

Draining Whelk
It's the creature, we can see on Mana Drain's art. Infortunately, it doesn't give mana like with Mana Drain :/

Drifter il-Dal
It's Spindrift Drake with shadow intead of flying.

Fathom Seer
When he's flip up, he cast Dream Cache. You can notice gold pieces on the art as the card it refers too.

Fledgling Mawcor
Mawcor was in Tempest, and here is a tiny version.

Fool's Demise
Ur's an enhanced version of False Demise.

Looter il-Kor
This is a really good version of Merfolk Looter.



Magus of the Jar
The magus for Memory Jar.

Moonlace
This refers to a cycle of really bad rares from Alpha (Purelace, Thoughtlace, Deathlace, Chaoslace, Lifelace). No one wanted them, and no one want that one.

Ophidian Eye
Enchant you with this to draw card like with Ophidian from Weatherlight. It was the first draw "saboteur".

Psionic Sliver
It's the sliver version of Psionic Entity.

Sage of Epityr
A wizard with Sage Owl ability.

Spell Burst
This spell is Spell Blast with buyback. In the late game, it's difficult to play against an opponent with a lot of mana sources.

Spiketail Drakeling
A bigger version of Spiketail Hatchling, but not has big as Spiketail Drake. He's kind of missing link from the two Prophecy cards.

Sprite Noble
A new version of Faerie Noble from Homelands but not restricted to faeries creatures.

Stormcloud Djinn
It's quite difficult to find out why this Djinn would have a red boost ability. It's just because of this creature from the Dark : Electric Eel.

You can also look at its flavor text :

As fickle as lightning, as slippery as an eel.



Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
Tefeiri can be seem in many cards from the past in Mirage, Urza's saga and Invasion expansion. For the first time, he had a card. It's really strong, can block counterspell, suspended cards. While in play, your opponents can't bluff.

Telekinetic Sliver
A sliver version of Opposition ?

Tolarian Sentinel
It's a spellshaper who can cast Rescue.

Vesuvan Shapeshifter
A clear reference to Vesuvan Doppleganger. It's also illustrated by Quinton Hoover. Combo with Brine Elemental.

Walk the Aeons
A flashbackable version of Time Walk. Notice the art with the skeletons, like the P9 piece.
