It's cards like this that make no one take the Legends set seriously, and that includes me. I wish I could give him a 0/5. What I really can't believe is how they actually put this guy in Masters Edition 2. Honestly, I wish that inanimate pieces of cardboard could experience death so that I may rip this waste of ink to pieces.

Oh, wait, I can do that anyway. *RIIIIIP!*

Maybe back in the day he was great but just like Citadel of Pain those days are long gone.

I dig the art, but the guy is unplayable at his casting cost.

1/5

PhagePoker: they don't make 1/2 star cards anymore, at common, or rare or anything. So Celestial Mantle, while it might not fit in your deck, still is nowhere near 'card ripping party' status.

Anyway, just a really off-beat question: the 55 Legends from Legends are all part of a huge, ginormous, Mega Ultra Cycle based on the 5 Elder Dragons. 11 cards for each 'Shard'.

1st Tier its the Elder Dragons (5/55) Example: Arcades Sabboth, White-centered.
2nd Tier they each have 3 shard colored lieutenants (20/55) Example: Angus Mackenzie (Tim the Enchanter), possibly the highest rated creature from Legends.
2.5 Tier is 5 allied colored pairs, but unbalanced in favor of the center color of the dragon it matches Example: Jedit Ojanen (25/55)
2.75 Tier is 5 allied colored pairs, double cost each, (30/55) Example: Ayesha Tanaka
and 3rd Tier is the allied colored pairs, single cost each

but it's hard with the balanced allied pairs who matches who.


there used to be a chart, but now the link is broken (found it on the mothership site, under one of their articles that referenced Legends set)

So I was wondering, is there anyone left who would know if this is an Arcades Sabboth WU Legend, or a Chromium WU Legend? And by extension, could help me recreate the old uber-chart of all the Legends? Or is this the wierdest question anyone's ever asked on Gatherer, about Arcana so old and obscure and, well, Arcane that frikkin nobody knows (or cares) anymore?


EDIT: wait...I think the balanced allied colored pairs are shared between two Elder Dragons each. So, Ayesha Tanaka and the other WU Legends connect the Arcades tribe to the Chromium one. But Jedit is Arcades-only, and Hunding Gjornersen is Chromium-only. That's the only way to make it all 'fit'.

Useless and overcosted, and yet still better than some of his competition in the same set. Kasimir, the Lone Wolf, for example.... both are blue + white, both have power and toughness sum to 8, both have no abilities, and yet Kasimir costs 1 extra for no reason. Sad.

Don't hate so much on old Toby. He was my very first legendary creature (back during Chronicles). Sure, he was a little pest compared to the Elder Dragons, but I was rejoicing that I finally had something with "Summon Legend" in its card type.

The only vanilla Advisor - ie the only Advisor who won't give you some form of help or advice.

Until Theros comes out, that is.
