Time Spiral features 301 cards, plus 121 special "timeshifted" reprint cards from Magic’s past, with randomly-inserted premium cards. All cards, including the timeshifted cards, are tournament legal. The set includes 121 commons, 80 uncommons, and 80 rares, plus the 121 timeshifted cards with their own rarity. It will be available in booster packs, theme decks, tournament packs, and Fat Packs. Starting with Time Spiral, there has been a change in how premium cards are distributed. Previously, premium cards replaced a card of the same rarity, so a premium rare would replace a standard rare, a premium uncommon would replace a standard uncommon, and a premium common would replace a standard common. In Time Spiral and in future sets, all rare, uncommon, and common premium cards will replace a standard common instead. It is now possible for there to be two rares in one pack: the standard rare card plus a premium rare (which replaces a standard common). Exceptions to the usual on eM: Timeshifted cards on eM will be listed as a separate set as Wizards does. So when searching for Timeshifted and Time Spiral cards you should search the block. As for the number of cards of each rarity in this set, the bonus purple Timeshifted cards in the Boosters and Starters listed for this set are counted as rares here.
