A new version of Chromatic Sphere. This version allows you to draw a card if a player destroy it or you sacrifice it.

Chronatog Totem

The cycle of Totem in Time Spiral are mana stone and can be transformed into creatures. The blue version is a Chronatog, an Atog that eats time !

Clockwork Hydra

Clockwork creature exist since Alpha : Clockwork Beast. It's creature with counters and they lose them when they are used. So of course Time Spiral needed its own version.



Foriysian Totem

The red totem can be transformed into an old creature from Alpha : Two-Headed Giant of Foriys.
There was also a white version in Exodus : Foriysian Brigade.

Gauntlet of Power

This card turned Gauntlet of Might into an 'all colors' cards, so it obviously cost more but is also more versatile.

Another element of Jhoira's arsenal after Jhoira's Toolbox. She really like bugs apparently.

Lotus Bloom

Time Spiral version of Black Lotus. With suspend of course.

Paradise Plume

A plume of Birds of Paradise. Of course it can give you mana of any color. But it also give you life when spell of the colored choice is played.

Phyrexian Totem

The black totem creates a Phyrexian Negator, a really powerful creature, really dangerous for uour opponents... but also yourself !

Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII

This cards can creates a great diversity of token. Some type might look awkward : homarid, citizen ?? It's because they are types from Fallen Empires expansion ! This is the last book related to the Sarpadian Empires. Past volumes were in flavor text of this expansion.

Stuffy Doll

This doll has been in many cards before where it suffers a lot : The Rack, Black Vise, Cursed Rack, Leshrac's Rite...

It deserves a card !

Land

Academy Ruins

Tolarian Academy is now in ruins but is still powerful.

Flagstones of Trokair

Trokair is a place from Fallen Empires. It came back again with a powerful land.

Kher Keep

Kher Keep is a kobold place. Kobold in magic are really small creature. They have a king called Rohgahh of Kher Keep.

Swarmyard

This card is a reference to Elephant Graveyard. This time, you can regenerate a large number of different type of creature. These creature types are not the most powerful of Magic but are well appreciated. Especially squirrel !

Urza's Factory

This land works really well with Urza's land, since if you control the 3 lands, you can activate this land's ability. Note that the type of token is the same as Mishra's factory, that explains this card flavor's text : 

"Though their ideals are leagues apart, Urza's and Mishra's creations have a surprising harmony with one another."

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, Lich Lord

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.

Firewake Sliver

This sliver refers to a powerful enchantment in Invasion : Fires of Yavimaya.

Ghostflame Sliver

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.

Harmonic Sliver

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, High Arcanist

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).

Kaervek the Merciless

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.

Opaline Sliver

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.

Saffi Eriksdotter

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!"
