Krosan Cloudscraper

The Krosan Cloudscraper, originally released in the Legions expansion, was reprinted in the 2006 Time Spiral set as part of the Timeshifted subset. This special insert series was designed to celebrate the history of Magic: The Gathering by featuring iconic cards from the game's past, visually updated with the modern card frame but retaining their original set symbol style. It was crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgia for players who had been with the game since its early days, while simultaneously introducing classic designs to a new generation of participants.

The card features artwork by Ron Spears, whose contribution highlights the creature's massive, imposing scale within the lush environments of the Otarian continent. Spears utilized a dramatic perspective to emphasize the Cloudscraper's status as one of the largest creatures in the game's history. Upon its initial release and subsequent reprint, the card was widely received as a testament to the game's creature power creep, often discussed in community circles for its high mana cost balanced by its formidable size and ability to dominate the battlefield.
