A blink to the past : Time spiral Multicolor cards
Let's talk now about multicolors cards from Time Spiral !
Even if there are not a big number of multicolor cards, each are quite powerful. Among them, many powerful color allied sliver which are a cycle of past cards. Among them, many powerful enchantments in a sliver form. We also have legendary creature in multicolor representing characters that has been in Magic for quite some time, but didn't have their own card. It was time for them.
Dementia Sliver
This is a card that refers to an obscur legend card : Nebuchadnezzar.
You can see that the two cards have the same cost and stat, although one is a legendary creature.
The ability is slightly different in the fact that Nebuchadnezzar's one need you to pay X; to see X cards.
With the sliver, your opponent reveals a card at random. This can be good with many ways to have multiple sliver token.
One of the flaw from Time Spiral, is too put nostalgia on card difficult to notice like this one.
Dralnu already appeared on a card before, but he was named Lord of the Undead (check also the flavor text). It was created to support zombies deck during planeshift among other "Lord", since the old Zombie Master wasn't good enough. It's a powerful zombie that grants flashback to sorcery and instant cards of your graveyard.
This sliver refers to a powerful enchantment in Invasion : Fires of Yavimaya.
Another reference to an enchantment, but not as known as the other. Ghostly Flame, from Ice Age helps your red and black permanents against creature with protection from colours and circles of protection. Against some white deck strategies, it could be a good sideboard cards.
This is another reference to an enchantment, and another powerful one from Invasion: Aura Shards. This sliver adds a 'Disenchant' to all your sliver. Beware of the fact that on the contrary of Aura Shards, the sliver don't let you the choice, you have to destroy a permanent. Don't destroy your own Æther Vial !
Ith is a sorcerer that we hear about in the Dark expansion. It has built a maze (Maze of Ith), so he has a tap ability that mimics it. He also wear a wand (Wand of Ith).
A character from Mirage block, a bad guy that didn't have a clear picture to show it. So the artist took Kaervek's Purge to paint it. A good creature to choose as Commander that will be annoying for all of your opponents.
Again an enchantment that have a sliver version. This is an not well known enchantment from Mirage : Reparations. This sliver will help you to keep ahead in card while your opponents try to deal with your army of sliver.
Her name first appears on the flavor text of Lhurgoyf from Ice Age. She then had a card in Time Spiral, with a flavor text that this time refers to the old card.
Her quote was also used in Unhinged card : "Ach! Hans, Run!"
