The "Timeshift" rarity is special. It consists of 121 cards from previous
Magic sets, which means this set only has 301 new cards. These reprinted cards
are tournament legal.
This set contains foil premium cards. These cards are
identical to the normal cards in name, text, etc. They are just printed
with a metalic foil finish. Every card in this set has a foil version.
Foil versions of cards appear in a common card slot regardless of the rarity
of the foil card. So you can get both a normal rare and a foil rare in one
pack. Common foils appear in about one in 12 boosters. Uncommon foils
appear in about one in 18 boosters. Rare foils appear in about one in
36 boosters. Timeshift foils appear in about one in 36 boosters.
It was released on October 6, 2006.
The print run is unknown.
