Time Spiral purple symbol
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, purple has been speculated be the unreleased sixth color of Magic. For Planar Chaos R&D actually playtested purple as a sixth clor in the color pie, to convey the alternate reality of the set. [2]
