A blink to the past: Time spiral white cards

In a series of articles about cards from Time Spiral, let's start with white cards.
White creature in Time spiral have shadow and flanking. It's quite an aggressive color. It also has a cool flickering card as Momentary Blink. Back in the time, remember that it wasn't M10 rules, damages went to the stack !

Amrou Scout
This card is illustrated by Quintoon Hoover, who have paints Amrou Kithkin.

Amrou Seekers
This creature has "white fear" and refers to the aura "seeker" from the legend expansion, which grant this ability.

Castle Raptors
The untap bonus of the raptors is a reference to the enchantment Castle from Alpha.

Celestial Crusader
The crusader obviously refers to Crusade.

Children of Korlis
It's an homage to martyr of korlis, an old card from antiquities.

Chronosavant
It's a white Necrosavant ! The creature in the card art has the same pose as the old card from Visions.

Cloudchaser Kestrel
Every cloudchaser in magic destroy enchantment (the first one in Tempest, the second one in Odyssey). This one does it too, and is part of the "white matter" theme of Time Spiral block for white cards.

D'Avenant Healer
This card refers to D'avenant Archer in the name and in her first ability.

Duskrider Peregrine
It's a big Duskrider Falcon with suspend !

Errant Doomsayers
This card has an ability quite similar to Aysen Bureaucrats (the latest care about power, and Doomsayers care about toughness).

Evangelize
This card is an activation of the Preacher ability. It has flashback so it can be devastating for the opponents' camps.

Flickering Spirit
This is a reference to Blinking Spirit. Art are really similar; since it's the same artist for the two cards.

Foriysian Interceptor
This is one of the two reference to Two-Headed Giant of Foriys from Alpha (the second one is an artifact card).

Gaze of Justice
This card is part of the "white matter" theme and is a reference to Hand of Justice from Fallen Empires expansion.

Griffin Guide
This is a variant of Elephant Guide, a really good card, but far better. Flying and a flying token is really good.

Gustcloak Cavalier
This a new element to the Gustcloak creature in the Carnage set.

Icatian Crier
Icatian Crier is part of a spellshaper cycle (mechanics of Mask of Mercadia set) where each creature will cast a spell from the past.
Here, it's Raise the Alarm. But as the card refers to Icatian Town, it makes citizen token.

Ivory Giant
Is he casting a Blinding Light ? another card for the "white matter" theme, but not really a reference to an old card.

Jedit's Dragoons
Jedit Ojanen is a cat warrior from Legends expansion. The first card with Dragoon in its name is a creature that gives life when it comes into play (Radiant's Dragoons).This card is quite similar to the old one, without echo.

Knight of the Holy Nimbus
This is a really more aggressive version of Clergy of the Holy Nimbus ! A card of choice for an aggressive white deck.

Magus of the Disk
This is part of a rare cycle of Magus where each creature, one by color have an ability of an old artifact. For the white one, it's Nevinyrral's Disk.

Mangara of Corondor
Mangara is part of the storyline of the Mirage set. His name appears on card like : Mangara's Blessing, Mangara's Equity, Mangara's Tome. But it had never appeared in a card before. Time Spiral was the right time for it.

Opal Guardian
This a reference to the sleeping enchantments of urza set, a set of enchantments that turns into a crature if an opponent play a card. This card turns to Abbey Gargoyles of the Homelands set, already illustrated by Christopher Rush.

Outrider en-Kor
This is a variant of "en-kor" creature from fortress who can't redirect damage to another creature.

Pentarch Paladin
We had Northern Paladin (alpha), Southern Paladin (Weatherlight), Eastern Paladin and Western Paladin (Urza's Saga). It was time to have a paladin who can destroy a permanent of the color of your choice !

Plated Pegasus
This kind of damage prevention has previously be seen on the card Benevolent Unicorn, althought not worded the same way. This time with flash which can be useful against a stormy Grapeshot
It may also been a reference to Armored Pegasus, not sure about this.

Pulmonic Sliver
Time spiral brings back Slivers for the second time after legions).
This sliver is part of a cycle of sliver version of card from the past. Here it's a reference to Avenging Angel.

Restore Balance
Another cycle for this expansion. One spell by color (+artfact), which can't be casted, only suspended. For the white one, it's a suspend Balance, which is really less powerful than the old spell.

Serra Avenger
In Time Spiral, we have reference to old card name mix with other. It can be a reference to Gaea's Avenger, but this time with Serra.

Spirit Loop
A variant of spirit link but with the ability to get back the aura from the battlefield like in urza's legacy (Rancor for example).

Tivadar of Thorn
This knight disliked goblins so much that he made a crusade against them (Tivadar's Crusade) with his troops (Knights of Thorn).

Weathered Bodyguards
Does his name refers to Weathered Wayfarer ?
What is sure is that his damages redirection ability refers to Veteran Bodyguard, the first one with that kind of ability.

In a next article, we'll explore blue cards of Time Spiral !
