Pointed Discussion

My guess is that one of the goals of making all these Summon Legends was to give the game more specific, memorable characters rather than just nameless Zombies and Minotaurs. But by making this set so sprawling, they really watered down that goal. How many of these guys do we remember today? Nicol Bolas? Who else? Definitely not poor Lady Orca.

I remember Lady Orcs, you don't cause you weren't there, I wasn't but I remember getting one im my Anthologies box, and being like "Ohh Shit, shes a 7/4" then I got Tsabo Tavoc. Anyway, shes pritty badass in the book.

Increase her toughness by a couple she would be decent...also what's with the art...

Gains, these legends were huge creatures back in an era when everyone was a timmy. Everyone who played back then remembers the majority of them, myself included.

Demon? Seriously?

Her name sounds like that of a 17th-century Greenpeace activist.

Neither a lady nor an orca.

Whateva! I'm making this my EDH general.

I don't know how wotc managed to give overpriced vanilla's so much flavor, but I'm still a fan.

7 power was immense at one point anyways.

she kills you in 3 hits!

also Gains, by spamming so many of them, a few were bound to be hits:

Nicol Bolas, Arcades Sabboth, Chromium, Vaevictis Asmadi, and Palladia-Mors will go down in history as the biggest cycle since the Basic Lands- they spawned EDH as a format for crying out loud!

then you have Jedit Ojanen, Dakkon Blackblade, and Sol'Kanar the Swamp-King, who are all fairly decent, or even epic if you take their Time Spiral forms.

and Angus Mackenzie looks like Tim the Enchanter! (and p.s. is the highset rated Legend in the set, I think)

even if it was over-optimistic to think all 55 of them would go down in history, a good portion of them have.

I would say that about 15ish of them actually make the cut as cool historical figures in the game. that's a pretty decent feat.

Why a Demon?

For somebody with flavor text that nasty, one would wish she would have been a somewhat better card.

That being said, 7 power is not to be laughed at, and as terrible as she is, somebody back in the day probably played her in a reanimation deck since, back then, there were few (if any) creatures with a higher power that didn't have a crushing drawback. Terribly by today's standards, obviously.

That's odd, I randomed onto this card twice in a row. Gatherer is trying to tell me something.
But what is there to say? It's another awful vanilla legend from Legends. An interesting, flavorful character, but terrible to play.

Poor Angus McKenzie... looks like he ran out of {G}{W}{U}...

Where is the Orca?
All I see is some........

floating blood?

Maybe?

And a tree?

I think?

And a bald guy?

Is that Lady Orca?

Is she the bald guy or the floating cloud of blood?
