*a female legend that players have been begging us to do for a long time
If she weren't a planeswalker, she would have been in Coldsnap. That's the great thing about messing with time; you can grab people from before they became too powerful to put on a card.
This quote explains why some of the legendary creatures in Time Spiral are planeswalkers. It also confirms that Jaya Ballard will be a TS card.
While searching Haspian Chastoril's home, I found several fraudulent Tchoktan artifacts, and the following cards:
Yawgmoth's Time Mox (0)
Artifact
(T), Skip your next turn: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
Yawgmoth's Bargain Bin (4)(B)(B)
Enchantment
Pay 1 life: An opponent searches your library for a card. Put that card into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

Creature-Goblin Warrior

The following card was multicolored, but was unreadable except for the flavor text: "I knew it weren't no ordinary Throat Wolf."
-Norin the Wary
There were five additional cards, Déjà Vu, Planar Stalker, Time Barrier, Chronos, and Pit Beast, that seem to be reprints from Edge of the World.
This is seriously depressing news. The only way possible to get consistant rumors, that WotC could do nothing about, would be to get servers set up, and a fence, in a country with which the united states doesnt have extradition laws with.
You determined this based on the fact that it contains a mythological inaccuracy, or the fact that a card doesn't match it's novelized incarnation? If we're gonna play that game, one could literally pick apart much of the MTG universe.
It is based on the fact that it doesn't match the Yuki-Onna in the novels, although the novelized Yuki-onna is based on the mythological one. A lot of Magic's storyline is mythologically innaccurate (including Kamigawa, whose depiction of Shinto is innaccurate), but in most cases this doesn't matter because Magic takes place in a multiverse independent from this universe. In the case of Yuki-Onna, however, there are two versions: the novel version which is based on the the youkai of Japanese folklore; and the cardboard one with the same name but whose ability is a complete non sequitur.
Yuki-Onna - Odd because the books described her looking like the chick from the Ring. Even odder is the black "onna" captures that look far better than Yuki's art.
Another reason Yuki-Onna doesn't make sense is that she destroys artifacts. Neither the Yuki-Onna in the novels nor the one in Nipponese folklore destroys artifacts. This is one reason why I think Saviors is the worst set in the Kamigawa block, and one of the worst in all of Magic (after Legions of course). The other reasons include the ability word Sweep and the fact that they didn't finish the Kodama cycle. Another one that is relevant to this thread is that Pithing Needle was designed to hose Umezawa no Jitte. It was meant to be used in a way that didn't make sense flavorwise, in a flavor-themed block. How exactly do you pith something that doesn't have a spinal cord (or even a spinal cord analogue)?
Huh? Urza didn't use Urza's Tower when he was a planeswalker. Those environments don't have to be in different planes, nor are the towers necessarily the same. Urza built more than one, and they all probably looked similar. Is there some reason a Mountain, a Plains, a Forest, and an Island can't exist in the same universe? Am confused.
The Elder Dragons appeared in some of the comics, including the two Elder Dragons Comics. Nicol Bolas was the emperor of Madara in the second Legends Cycle.
The five Invasion dragons were the Primevals, who were descendants of the Elders.
Blind Eternities = Magic's outer space. Xantcha had to travel through the Blind Eternities (the void in between planes) and almost died.
The Blind Eternities are not outer space. Each plane has its own outer space. Dominia is the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash, and the Blind Eternities are the parts of the Mish Mash that aren't occupied by planes. Most inhabited planes have only one inhabited planet, which is the only one of interest to planeswalkers. Although most natural planes have billions and billions of galaxies, they are mostly devoid of mana and are therefore ignored. If there are any that are of interest to planeswalkers, they are far enough from the 'main' planet that they are mistaken for other planes. Artificial planes, however, usually contain only one planet or planetary system. For example, Mirrodin had one planet and four or five moons. There were 'stars', but they were actually blinkmoths. The 'edge' of an artificial plane, if it has one (as Rath did), acts like a portal to the Blind Eternities.
The forest from the first Legends cycle was Arboria, not Sylvan, and the library belonged to Shauku, Endbringer. Sylvan does not refer to a specific forest; it means 'related to or characteristic of forest regions'.
