Time Spiral purple symbol

Colorpie with purple

Planar Chaos 's position of purple in the color pie

Purple is the color of the expansion symbol of the timeshifted cards in Time Spiral. Because they appeared in a rarity significantly different from any other rarity, they were assigned their own new rarity level (higher than rare). [1]

Ever since a prank article in the InQuest #22 (February 1997) which featured purple cards (see Gallery), purple has been speculated be the unreleased sixth color of Magic.

For Planar Chaos R&D actually playtested purple as a sixth color in the color pie[2], to convey the alternate reality of the set.[3] A purple version of Mana Drain was planned[4] and the basic land would've been either City or Cave. [5]
