This art is way better than the 10th edition one...

Have to agree with Volcre, this one looks more like the massive doomsday device it's meant to be.

"The Legacy Weapon is firing, sir!"
Royal Raaaaaaainbooooow!
"Sir, we appear to have picked up some debris."

Take that, Emrakul!

All I have to say is that I can't wait for myrs to exit standard.

Dat art.

Always wondered what the scene from the book might look like on a card. Didn't know it had a card. It's awesome to see the weapon that Urza opened up on Yawgmoth.

Far superior to the 10th edition art. I understand what the 10th edition art is trying to represent, but it just looks so stupid compared to this pinnacle of epicness.

Lookout it's a giant candy wrapper!

Cheesesack's comment is more liked than Volcre's?
>.> Gatherer voters are inconsistent.

Anyway, I disagree with them both. I think the two arts should not be judged next to each other, I like them both. I think the arts serve two very different purposes. One shows the battle scene, one commemorates this historic moment in Magic by showing off lots of references to past Magic ala Time Spiral-like nostalgia.

To be more clear, THIS is the one I want in my deck, that I cast and say "Exile Target Thing" in a low ominous voice; and Xth Edition is the one I want in my binder. To be even more clear, Not my trade binder- my 'show off the cool stuff I've collected' Binder, where I keep FTV cards, Graveborn's foil Entomb, and things like that. The original versions go in decks, to me anyway. The later prints nearly always have art that tends have the same issues as Legacy Weapon- the cards even look like they belong under a glass case, not in the middle of a battlefield.

Exiled's Berserk is an amazing exception.

Known in my playgroup as "The Death Star." For obvious reasons. It's been put to very good use in a Cromat EDH deck that my friend plays.

FIRE THE ORBITAL FRIENDSHIP CANNON!

I read one of the magic books (Artifact Cycle 1), that is the Null Sphere that Yawgmoth used against the Thran Alliance. The artwork is better on apocolypes the tenth, awsome card.

The art here is Epic. As for abilities... it could've costed to cast instead and would've been much more playable for 5 color (Or certain green) decks. At mana to cast and to activate, one has to have both superior mana fixing and decent mana ramp to make this work even once. Of course once it's online, it'll take care of just about any problem, unless that problem has shroud or hex proof, that is.

Ironically not useful in Legacy, but this card is pretty epic
4/5 Stars

"That's no moon, it's a space station!"

"Actually, sir, its a giant White Mana Battery"

"Oh. Well, make it fire its giant laser anyway."

This is one of the cards that makes people ragequit in my meta (next to Tinker and Sundering Titan). Mycosynth Lattice, Unwinding Clock, Tolarian Academy, and the Weapon is brutal, especially if it's a big FFA and you have enough Artifacts down to annihilate everyone during their own upkeeps. Only way it gets better is if you have Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and Blightsteel Colossus.

"Nicol Bolas is doing the waltz with the Blightsteel while riding the Weatherlight. Your argument is invalid."

This picture only depicts part of the Legacy. It shows when the Weatherlight crashed into the Null Moon, pouring its White mana down onto Yawgmoth, which weakened him. Then Gerrard Capashen placed Urza's Mightstone and Weakstone into Karn, Silver Golem which made another laser beam and finished the job. Squee's Toy and various other artifacts were also involved somehow, I don't really get it. Maybe they were on the Weatherlight when it hit the moon?

The picture from 10E depicts everything, so they probably just couldn't fit it.

Based on that, this card should probably do something like Sudden Spoiling, then exile target creature. Also should not be repeatable - you can't break a moon open and drain its energies more than once. Oh well.

Better than 10th edition art?! Are you ***in cracked?! What the hell is wrong with you dolts?

The fact that this can blast planeswalkers is already something to take into consideration if you have access to all five colors of mana. With some help from mana acceleration, you could have this online pretty early, and shoot indestructibles, creatures with protection from colors, and other hard-to-remove threats at will. Note that it does not even tap to use its ability: the more mana you've got, the more things you can zap every turn. Something like Mana Flare would be allowing you to zap two things for the five lands you're tapping.

Shouldn't the Oracle version be:

Exile target non-planeswalker permanent

To be equal to the old ability?

Your most likely going to have to tap out and start firing the next turn, but it is a game changer when its online and set up. 5/5

Legacy Weapon, the last best hope for Dominaria, is strictly not used in Legacy
