In fact, I would argue that if you were going to play a commander for his effect, going a more expensive route and playing Elish Norn would just be a better choice, and letting Crovax support from there. Unfortunately, despite the fact that he does come with an additional tag line effect, Crovax isn’t all that popular, because his build isn’t something revolutionary and it isn’t something we haven’t seen before. So your deck is going to be made up of mostly anthems and other white devotion support cards that care about making white stronger. So his color shifted version does for white creatures and nonwhite creatures what his Black version did for Black and nonblack (sounds really bad when you think about it).Īnyways, Crovax cares about one thing: helping White out and hurting anything that isn’t. This version is a what if scenario where he wasn’t corrupted, and didn’t become a vampire. It’s a great set for Commander players because it gives access to tools that we might normally not have had.Īnyways, I bring this up because Crovax is actually a color shifted version of another legend, Ascendant Evancar. So in this set, you would find cards that were color shifted version of already existing cards, such as Damnation, Harmonize, Mana Tithe, Boom//Bust, Dawn Charm, and a bunch of other cards that were basically reverse color versions of already existing cards. This is a set that is infamously known in the history of magic because it’s theme is basically a commander player’s wet dream, in that the entirety of the set was about warping the color pie.
That expansion symbol is the one for Planar Chaos. So before going into this card, there is something important history wise that I want to address for newer players out there. You can pay 2 life and return Crovax to it’s owners hand. So with that disclaimer out of the way, let’s talk about some legends that looked at the game’s history, completely warped the color pie, and looked towards the future of what is to come, starting with Mono-colored.Ĭrovax, Ascendant Hero is 4 and 2 White for a 4/4 Legendary Human Noble. So don’t ask me in the comments or message me saying “you forgot the Time shifted legends,” because no I didn’t, I’m just not going to include them here, even though there are part of Time Spiral. This review is going to only cover the legends that were first printed here. Akroma wasn’t originally printed here, and for historical and classification sake, I will be talking about ones I haven’t yet when their set reviews come around. I’ve already covered Nicol Bolas in my Legends review so it would make no sense to cover him again, and 2. I won’t be covering either of those here because 1. So for example, there is a time shifted reprint of Nicol Bolas and a time shifted reprint of Akroma, Angel of Wrath. So if there is anyone wondering why I’m not covering a time shifted legend in this review, that’s because they were not first original printed here. I will only be going over the legends that were considered new. It was a block that was about looking into the past, looking at the present, and looking at the future.īefore I start, there are some legends that I have both covered and not covered technically printed in this block. This block consisted of Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Futurs Sight, with the theme of the block being, as you might have guessed, Time.
And welcome to the next official block review featuring all of the legends originally printed in The Time Spiral Block.
