Putting Magic Flavor on the Table; Legends

 Legends is the seventh Magic: The Gathering set and the third expansion set,

Themes and mechanics

Legends introduced:

  • Legends — Unique creatures that represent important characters in a set's story. The original type line "Summon Legend" was later changed to Legendary Creature, and they were given creature types

  • Legendary lands — Unique lands which represent important places in a set's story.

  • Multicolored cards — Cards which require more than one color to play.

  • Enchant World cards (now World Enchantments) — Enchantments that change the playing environment for all players. When an Enchant World comes into play, all other Enchant World cards in play are destroyed.

and the mechanics:

  • Bands with other — A variant on the banding mechanic.

  • Poison counters — Pit Scorpion (Legends) and snake tokens created with Serpent Generator (Legends) give players a poison counter in addition to dealing combat damage. A player with 10 or more poison counters loses the game. This unnamed mechanic was the precursor to the poisonous, infect and toxic mechanics.

  • Rampage — Creatures with rampage get bigger when blocked by two or more creatures.
