[edit] Teferi
Wizards doesn't make planeswalkers into cards. Teferi...The Ronin 21:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, they have. For example the Vanguard Cards have some Planeswalkers among them, then there's the various cards that were secretly someone else. Urza, for example, posed as the Blind Seer. Mister.Manticore 04:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- I believe on the Wizards site, they've used the "Time Is Wonky" aspect of Time Spiral to make Planeswalker cards to justify printing "Pre-planeswalker" versions of cards.
- In the story, Teferi loses his planeswalker powers and just becomes a mage, so he's not a planeswalker anymore
[edit] Size confirmation please?
Can we get confirmation on the size of the set? 422 is larger than any previous set, and almost certainly larger than 10th Edition.Interested2 03:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- There is no concensus on the size. I've seen 301, and I have seen 422, and 306 is still a possibility. Best to do nothing for now, except give a question mark when asked the size of it.--Bedford 03:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- My guess is that the set is 301 cards, and each common gets printed twice (301 + 121 = 422). --devnull17
-
- Well, Wizards has revised it to 301, so I'm editing it to reflect that.
-
-
- Confirmation of the size is on the Ask Wizards of 2 August 2006 [1]. "Time Spiral has 121 commons, 80 uncommons, and 80 rares." --Dhedges 17:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

- Going to edit this a bit, because there's been confirmed sightings of special purple-iconed cards that may extend the size of the set. Scumbag 03:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

-
- MTGSalvation.com has gotten comfirmation that the set is going to be 301 cards, with an additional 121 older rares reprinted with the purple set logo. They will be T2 legal, and will replace one common in each booster.

- Missed that the first time I read the article. Hewinsj 17:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sourcing/Wikipedia is not a crystal ball
A lot of the claims in this article are speculative. Return of Thallids? Is there a source? The article is also generally not encyclopedic and needs reorganization. Croctotheface 12:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- The Orb of Insight confirms Thallids.

- Plus, there's a warning on the article, like all unreleased Magic sets, that all the information here has been confirmed by people with a history of accurately reporting set information. It's not speculation.
[edit] Keyword vs. Mechanic
How does the infobox template differentiate between these two fields? I don't think "thallid" is a mechanic, per se.--SparqMan 18:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding notable characters
When adding a notable character card, have a look in Category:Magic: The Gathering characters and see if you can pull a wikilink for the character. Thanks -- saberwyn 22:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Full spoiler release
I've removed the speculation bit from the article now that the full spoiler is available. I think everything that is on the article is correct. Also, does anyone know how to link to the spoiler? --kenobi.zero 10:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
-
- Well, I think you can try to link to Wizards's sortable spoiler list for the card list, but then again, I haven't checked the list yet, that is, if they also have with them the list of the Time-shifted cards.
-
- Also, speaking of spoilers, I'm thinking of starting to give short descriptions on some of the notable cards, since quite a number of them are relatively interesting for Magic standards. If you feel that is inappropriate, please remove the changes and let me know. Thanks

- Both Wizards cardlists (notmal and timeshifted) can be found in the external links section. -- saberwyn 12:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Names in the block
Did we want to mention that all the sets in the block are named after previous cards? I seem to remember hearing about how WotC usually avoiding that... David Youngberg 18:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Seperate article for Block and Set
There should be a separate article for the block Time Spiral, and the set Time Spiral -- it doesn't matter if they are of the same name. I think it's just the name that has caused people to do this -- for future blocks, can someone please take note that the block should be separate from the first set of the block? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.23.51.27 (talk) 23:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
