From the Vault: Legends

I can't imagine what would be in here that would make me excited. Is this mainly for EDH players?

Looks like there's a new Teferi coming on the scene. New art, anyway.

The fact that "some will be printed with a black border for the first time" almost confirms we'll be seeing some P3K legends. But honestly, none of them are too amazing. Cool, horsey-like, but not must-haves.

I'd like to see what legends they pick. I'd really like to see a 'FTV: Planeswalkers' set so I can get me a cheap Jace 2.0, so if this isn't the FTV for that, IDK what it will be.

If it is all Legends, I am calling a reprint and new art for Isamaru, Hound of Konda.

Step 1: Buy FTV: Planeswalkers for 30$.
Step 2: Don't open it.
Step 3: Wait a few months until they are all sold out.
Step 4: Profit.

Do infinite times for infinite money. U jelly Mark Rosewater?

I maintain that there's not much I'd like from here. There are alternate versions of some cube cards, but I already have them in foil (Kiki-Jiki, Teferi). If anything, I want Oona, just because I want to put her in. But I can just get a regular one for that.

yes, but those two P3K legends are appealing, no? i think Sun Quan, Lord of Wu is arguably Cube-worthy.

otherwise, i'm disappointed other than knowing what Progenitus looks like up close and getting a Captain Sisay for the first time ever.

Funny, I'm disappointed to see how literal Progenitus looks. When he was a misty cloudy silhouette, he was much more imposing.

oh i totally agree that the old art is far better. does this new art take away from the original art for you?

Yup. Menacing goliath in the distance vs. Hey look! It's a big Hydra!

ahh but for which art would you rather be the viewer?

"look at that menacing goliath in the distance! let's go this way..." vs. "OH SHI- "

Take a clue from Lovecraft: never show the monster.
