Thread: Time Spiral

  1. #1

    Time Spiral

    So, Time Spiral was unbanned. Do you think it will see play? Any predictions on it's future price?

    Discuss.

    Re: Time Spiral

    I know with six green mana I was able to do much more damage than draw 7 cards. As for future price, it will never be below ten USD again. Ever. If it doesn't make it into a tournament viable deck: 20. If it does 30-50. Only because it's from Urza's Saga.

    Those numbers are too high. Compare to Show and Tell, which is like $15 (ebay) or $16-$20 (retail) while seeing some play.

    I bought 2 playsets before the internet pulled them. I expect to see my money refunded, but if not...yesss. Also, the Korean Spiral I've been sitting on for the last couple years is looking pretty good right now.

    Time Spiral is pretty terrible when it can't untap Academy.

    I mean, High Tide decks are still incredibly awful even with Time Spiral. Doomsday guarantees a kill while Time Spiral gives you seven random cards and may or may not give your opponent a fresh hand of Forces. The card does nothing in Legacy but will get snapped up because apparently people still haven't learned from the Grim Monolith unbanning.

    Yep, already going for $20. Seems nuts.

    Time to sell mine :)

    I think my local comic shop has a few. I promised them I'd stop by when I got back for Winter Break, anyway.

    Re: Time Spiral

    Don't listen to the people telling you that Time Spiral is terrible, they are going through a self-delusion phase due to the banning of Survival. The only reason against buying Time Spirals is that they will probably have to re-ban it in a few months for being totally broken.
    Please stop talking about whether Force of Will is broken or not. It obviously is, and rather than "the glue that holds vintage together" it would be better to call it "the rug under which you hide the filth until there's so much that you can no longer conceal it".

    It's not like FoW can do much against Brain Freeze. Also, 7 new cards should keep the combo going. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    The amount of bullshit in this thread is overwhelming.

    While I agree that it doesnt make high tide decks the DTB now and it is overhypoed the rest of the post is such a shit. If it resolves it is GG, be sure about that 7 cards will always let the combo roll through 1-2 counters, not to mention the fresh mana. (okok if your opponent doesnt draw fow,fow,fow,fow,daze,daze,counterspell and has 2 untaped islands out.)

    besides I play grim monolith it works fine ...not overpowered but fine ... same goes for Spiral it is not overpowered but it will see play in tide decks which are a solid tier 2 choice even if nearly no one plays it...but to be honest it wasnt overplayed in it best days also.

    Re: Time Spiral

    I will be curious to see if it will see play in a non-high tide deck. We don't have academy, but we still have cradle, tomb and city. Plus, a land deck can possibly abuse the card (even if the graveyard reshuffle it's a big drawback). It's an interesting new toy, I don't think it's OP at all, but it will probably affect the format a bit.

    Some kind of joke? Anyone who pays that is a sucker.

    Although the card is incredibly powerful in what it does, the only place I'm playing it is in a casual multi-player Psychic Possession deck so I can go off and kill them with a Conflagrate. But in my case, I'd much rather see Winds of Change.

    Time Spiral

    Cost: 6 mana (untaps some lands)

    Does it win you the game on the spot? Nope.

    The same could be said for Ad Nasueum.

    Except that AD does in fact win on the spot 85% of the time.

    You just linked to a trolled cavius thread as though it was a serious thread...

    And costs one mana less than Time Spiral and cannot be countered by Red Elemental Blast.
    I see more than others do because I know where to look.

    Time will tell. I think it will definitely "boost" Spring Tides playablity, but that really isn't saying much. Probably a good call on the DCI's part, as even if Spring Tide does turn out good, this will not be the reason for it.
