Delay

Description

Released in 2021, the Time Spiral Remastered set brought a curated selection of classic Magic: The Gathering cards to modern collectors. Card number 61 in this series is Delay, an Instant spell with a mana cost of {1}{U}. This release features a foil finish, adding a distinct visual appeal for enthusiasts of the game's design history. The card's mechanical identity centers on its interaction with time. When cast, it counters a target spell. If that spell is countered, it is exiled with three time counters instead of going to the graveyard. For spells without suspend, this effect grants them the suspend ability. This means the exiled spell can be played later without paying its mana cost as time counters are removed during the owner's upkeep. If the exiled spell is a creature, it also gains haste, allowing it to attack immediately upon being cast. Collectors often seek out Time Spiral Remastered cards for their nostalgic value and the high-quality foil treatments that define the set. The TSR-61 designation identifies this card within the collector community. The artwork is credited to Svetlin Velinov, whose style contributes to the set's cohesive aesthetic. This card appeals to those who appreciate the strategic depth of the game's history and the tactile experience of foil cards. It serves as a key piece for players interested in the unique mechanics introduced by the original Time Spiral environment, now remastered for a new generation.
