Shadows of the Past
Complete card list, schedule, and guide to Shadows of the Past, the bonus sheet for MTG Arena's Shadows Over Innistrad Remastered set.
Shadows of the Past is a special collection of cards that are included in Store and Limited packs of MTG Arena’s Shadows Over Innistrad Remastered on March 21, 2023: 76 cards from the original Innistrad block (Innistrad, Dark Ascension, and Avacyn Restored), similar to the Mystical Archive in Strixhaven: School of Mages and Retro Frame Artifacts in The Brothers’ War.
Schedule
For Shadows over Innistrad Remastered, the Shadows of the Past cards that appear in Shadows over Innistrad Remastered Limited events (Sealed and Draft) are rotated each week. The Shadows of the Past cards are divided into four themes:
| Theme | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| Creature Type Terror! | March 21 | March 28 |
| Fatal Flashback! – Midweek Magic – Arena Open | March 28 – March 28 – April 1 | April 4 – March 30 – April 2 |
| Morbid and Macabre! | April 4 | April 11 |
| Abominable All Stars! | April 11 | April 18 |
Sealed, Traditional Sealed, Premier Draft, and Traditional Draft events will not restart between theme versions. This means that matches in these events may include players who opened their sealed pools or drafted their decks during different previous theme versions.
Note that a given player’s sealed pool and all packs in any given draft pod will always be from the same version.
The description of Limited events will tell you which Shadows of the Past theme version is being used. If you’re looking to draft a new theme on its start date, check the event page description to ensure it uses the version you want to play.
Packs
Each Shadows over Innistrad Remastered packs contain a card from the Shadows of the Past collection. This card can be of any rarity, but you’ll always receive a Shadows over Innistrad Remastered rare or mythic rare card, so packs could potentially contain two rares and/or mythic rares.
It’s worth noting that Shadows over Innistrad Remastered Store packs do not follow the Shadows of the Past event schedule above. Any card from Shadows of the Past may appear in these Store packs at any time, regardless of when they were acquired, opened, or what theme they’re listed in below!
Wildcards will never replace a Shadows of the Past card, only the base Shadows over Innistrad Remastered cards. Duplicate protection applies to rares and mythic rares, separately both by rarity and between the Shadows of the Past cards and the base Shadows over Innistrad Remastered cards.
Cards
This list includes all cards from Shadows of the Past that can appear in Shadows over Innistrad Remastered packs. Store packs can have any of these cards appear and are not subject to the theme schedule shown above.
