You people who cannot see the automatic broken ungodly awesomeness of this card are morons. You can't see how an automatic reset button you play at your own choosing, with board position of your own choosing, is a crazy thing? How refilling your hand is insane? "Oh your opponent does it too, it's not as good as you think." Yeah, but you decide when it happens. You are topdecking, your opponent is sitting over there with card advantage and a smirk... this card and it's all back to square one, on YOUR terms.
Power Nine. There it is.
(Yawgmoth's Bargain is still probably my favorite card of all time, to be honest. But that has nothing to do with this card. This card is a great, broken, legendary god.)

OK, I read some of the comments here... I'm having trouble understanding how some of the people who made comments on this card are that dumb. Timetwister is incredibly Powerful, yet someone thinks it's crap compared to the rest?
Let's see, I've won about... Maybe 50 games, using Timetwister and Underworld Dreams.
And for the guy who said Wheel of Fortune does almost the same... No! Wheel of Fortune makes you discard your hand and draw 7 new cards, and Timetwister has the dual purpose of not only refilling your hand, but putting all your resources BACK IN YOUR DECK! How the hell can someone compare that to one that you draw 7 and that's it with?
I have a deck with 4 Underworld Dreams, and with no Black Lotus or Moxes, and just Dark Rituals, they can come out REALLY fast, and not only that, they are all only 3 casting cost. You cast Timetwister and they have to take 28 damage for 3 Mana.
Wheel of Fortune is good for this too because you can add in Megrim and make them take a lot of d... (see all)

Really strong card, usefull in T1 for many decks, expecially combo decks...not so good for control and sometimes is risky, that's why my vote is not 5 but 4,5 (however really good, a bomb for some combo decks)

People who understand how powerful timetwiser is always point out how they are the first person to use the new cards. While this is obviously important, they neglect to mention the equally important fact that they will also be the last person to use the old cards. From a card advantage aspect, this is huge. I can spend my hand doing whatever I want, and essentially not loose shit whether my cards are permanents or not. Then I can be like "swell" and do it all over again.
If used correctly, Time Twister can provide you with more than 2 Ancestral Recalls all rolled into one, nice, pretty package. And that is in addition to its other effects. And no, it doesn't have to give this bonus to the opponent as well, because it can be used when they already have 7 cards in hand.
Just saying. This DOES deserve its spot on the power 9.

This card doesn't really deserve a Power 9 slot. It's really, really good, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't really fit. Black Lotus goes in every deck. The relevant Moxen go in every deck, and sometimes the irrelevant ones if you're not heavy on the color requirements. If you're playing blue, Time Walk and Ancestral Recall go in every deck. And all of those, you'll basically always want to cast it as soon as it hits your hand. Timetwister, while insane, isn't quite so insane that it makes any deck better just by being in it, you have to work with it a little. Not enough to make it remotely balanced, but enough that it's not an autoinclude.

This is definately an iconic card - but just as Pluto got kicked out of the exclusive club of being one of the nine "planets" of our solar system, so too should Time Twister be removed from being considered "power".

what about wheel of fortune and its red? It wasn't as expensive, but I think I might own "one" somewhere.
I traded two (U) moxes for a (U) black lotus when I was 12, does that still matter? I ended up having my time walk stolen in cheyenne WY, so I sold the other P9 card I had (The lotus), (I think I did the same with the library of alexandria), why couldn't our parents invest in our hobbies like the sixties barbie dolls? ***!
actually I'm wrong I traded black lotus (U) for two moxes. w/e, at least the moxes stayed in the game ***. what's the point of your shivan dragon to be terrored for no reason and youre minus something b/c u paid for with a black lotus. I voted for moxes over lotus (from the cards we had)
Well for a burn deck, that fucks over timetwister, b/c you can cast the wheel with the last card in your hand. Well nvm, so can timetwister, I never owned that one. But red was cool for the lightning bolt spurge and wheel of fortune was red..

I don't believe this should be in the Power Nine. Consider for a moment the color you're using it with: blue. Blue players tend to hold certain cards in their hand, waiting for the opportune moment to play them, and they don't usually bolster their defenses with many creatures. So what does this really do for a blue player who's holding a full hand of cards with few creatures in play? Firstly, because blue players have full or nearly full hands, this card doesn't truly offer card advantage, since it requires you to dump your hand into your library. It doesn't let you plan how you will play your next turns, since you have no clue what your new hand will look like. Lastly, it does nothing to affect the state of the battlefield, so if your opponent is overwhelming you with creatures, you're still left in a dismal state after this resolves.
This just isn't a very blue card when you consider how it spits in the face of the blue player's virtues of defense, planning, and card adva... (see all)
