Yep as a Time Spiral fan that was bummed they never did something like it again, this is awesome. And thankfully already seems confirmed for a series and not just a one time thing. $$$
I'm loving the new Three-Llanowar-Elves-Stapled-Together. I do wonder how many of these designs started as complete jokes, and then just wound up as real cards.

The fact that there is a bunch of mechanics from various sets throughout magic history. Callbacks to old cards, even Alpha stuff. Twists on existing cards. Time Spiral block was about the past/present/future of Dominaria all meshing together. Time Spiral was the past, Planar Chaos present (with color pie swaps, i.e. damnation was just a black Wrath of God), Future sight the future (many of the future card frame cards ended up being printed in future sets).
Some examples:
That red goblin revealed recently, Pashalik Mons, is a deep-cut reference to Alpha card 'Mons' Goblin Raiders'. He is directly referenced in the flavor text.
That Vesperlark card is a 'baby Reveillark'.
Urza/Yawgmoth/Serra are 3 of the most requested characters to get a card, all 3 with crazy amounts of lore and story going back to the earliest sets.
Bazaar Trademage is 'Bazaar of Baghdad's effect on a Serendib Efreet, with flavor text referencing cards from Arabian Nights.
Deep Forest Hermit is Deranged Hermit with Vanishing.
Ravenous Giant is a red Juzam Djinn
etc..

My favorite part of that card is that the 3 elves are each one of the arts that Llanowar Elves has had.

You're thinking way too small.
Lion's Eye Diamond is the real nonsense here. I cannot imagine this card not destroying legacy.

Modern already had Day's Undoing but this new card adds some redundancy. Modern is getting too legacy lite for my taste, just give us real FoW you cowards.

That card also lets you cast turn 3 7 drops.
Mono Green Tron, anyone? Or some ridiculous Nykthos deck.

And Commit // Memory.
We definitely need a Coffers reprint. That fucking thing is over $40 now. They just reprinted Urborg so it has to be coming.

Probably "WOTC stole my ideas and tell me to fuck off when I complain"? Not going to waste time (since it's part 1 of 6, even) in conspiracy theory.
Mind you, it's only 99% of the time that it's true. 1% of the time, you end up with a Bethesda scandal (where an intern copied a D&D module, changing just the names).

The dude is literally fucking crazy, don't bother watching. Like.. he has dis- associative schizophrenia or something. He thinks random card arts are being targeted at him because of passing resemblances to events/people in his life.
I swear to god he did a 'illuminati confirmed' type of illustration at one point I watched, and not ironically.

Sounds about right.
He couldn't string a coherent thought together in his video, I gave up 10 minutes in but he didn't seem to say what he was actually accused of... just that he was framed for racism.
I'd guess he's actually guilty of whatever it was.
