Let's play a game.
I think Time Spiral's best feature is how devoted it is to old cards, to bringing back card abilities, or card names, or capturing flavour text, or just the mythos of old cards. It's awesome in that respect. So awesome, I think EVERY CARD in Time Spiral probably has a root in an earlier card, which is where you guys come in.
I've made a start to this but I think if we put our collective minds together we can demonstrate that every card in the set has a predecessor. I'm looking not just for cards that are almost duplicates of old cards (Wheel Of Fortune - Wheel Of Fate) but things like card flavour (Sengir Vampire/Sengir Bats - Sengir Nosferatu) or card abilities (Worship - Angel's Grace), maybe something in the flavor text of a bunch of cards (Sarpadian Empires, Vol VII).
Come on, we can do this...
