It's funny that they power each other even when fighting each other

This is pretty likely the only legend worth cloning. Under your control, that is.
It's indeed somewhat strange that they boost each other even if they are on different sides. Rewording the card to "Each other creature you control named Brothers Yamazaki gets +2/+2 and has haste." would have made sense i guess.
Nontheless i love the fact that this card has an alternate art from the same artist especially for the fact that this is pretty much the only legend indended to be seen on the battlefield twice.

These guys could make an interesting set of paired EDH decks...

I like the flavor of them buffing a brother on the opposing team. Feels like they inspire each other just by both fighting, even if they are on opposing sides of a battle.

@Omenchild: Two headed giant EDH with the Brothers would be awesome.

I keep trying to get my friend to run one of these in his Riku EDH deck for massive flavor.
First, the only format that we can fairly say needs any errata is 2HG. Whatever WOTC says for non-THG, let WOTC have their silly way. In 2HG though, screw WOTC because their answer isn't going to be appropriate for the flavor of Brothers, and we all know it.
Here is The Brothers Yamazaki Rule for 2HG:
"First thou shalt cast another Brothers Yamazaki from thy hand until the number of Brothers Yamazaki on the battlefield be four. Four is the number of Brothers Yamazaki there shalt be and the number of Brothers Yamazaki there shalt be shall be Four. Thou shalt NOT have Three Brothers Yamazaki unless thou proceededst immediately to Four. Two is too few, and Five is Right Out!"

If the card stands as is with the new Legendary rule, the "fun" happens as follows:
If you and an opponent each have a Brother nothing happens, as it always has been. However, whenever a player plays another brother, it would see three on the board and the player with two would have to sacrifice one. More interestingly, if a player has two brothers and his or her opponent plays one, one of the original two would be "legend ruled" So, clones can still "legend rule" this card in a way.

It really should have been a 2/2. You can thank the mirrodin block for that, it broke magic so hard that the kami block had to weaken a lot of cards.

these Bros will wreak havoc!

Great concept, and a lot of fun in casual constructed.
@Zorgrath
You can only choose valid creature types, which are actually listed in the rules.
If you have more than two, the legend rule applies again and they all die.
