The idea behind the design of timeshifted cards was to tease about areas we were thinking we might go
The artwork does such a great job communicating the horror and pain experienced by the character depicted through tiny details like their twisted hand, the way they are feeling their new porcelain face, and their too-wide eyes giving a look of terror that is contrasted by the blank expression of the mask
It also makes you the monarch when it enters the battlefield (in Conspiracy drafts, the "monarch" gets to draw a card at the beginning of their end step, as well as some additional perks)
The art brief mentioned that Rubinia was used to conscript creatures into an army, plus the card is a reprint, so unlike usual I had a decent idea of what she was going to do
Not Ranked: Board-Based and Type-Specific Payoffs There are so many cards that dont explicitly pay you off for having tokens, but tokens help you to leverage them
It is a decidedly narrow card and has only really ever had a couple of uses
