New Cards in Time Spiral Remastered

With the Time Spiral Remastered set, is there a possibility of new cards in the same vein as Planar Chaos and Future Sight? I've been waiting for anything similar to a new version of Mana Tithe and my hopes dwindle every day.

There are no new cards in Time Spiral Remastered. Everything is a reprint.

Blue's Historical Capabilities

There are a few on your non-Blue list that actually do have have cards. That being said, I think Blue is just fine and most of these cards are older and oddball anyways, just figured I would point some out. Direct Damge is Psionic Blast. Life gain is Relic Bind/Merchant Ship and few other more niche spells. Creature Destruction is Frozen Solid/Dwindle. Land searching is Dreamscape Artist and technically Mana Severance. Damage prevention is Cephalid Illusionist/Energy Field and a few others.

I was talking modern color pie. Magic’s past is filled with things the color shouldn’t have done (or was in color pie at the time).

Frozen Solid vs Dwindle

A couple of years ago, in your podcast, you mentioned how Frozen Solid (SCG) is a complete break of the color pie. Why is a card like Dwindle (M19) okay, whereas Frozen Solid is not?

Dwindle is a bit of a bend, but the creature’s controller has the choice when the creature dies, not the blue mage.

Dwindle Mechanic Defined

How is Dwindle not a break? It's blue destroying creatures.

It’s not the most blue of cards, but you do have total control if your creature is destroyed.
