Legions Magic The Gathering Cards
Legions is the second set in the Onslaught block of cards of Magic: The
Gathering, along with the expansions Onslaught and Scourge. It
contained 145 cards which continued on the themes started in Onslaught.
Its expansion symbol is two spears behind a shield.
Legions is the first and only expansion in Magic to be 100%
creature cards. This was done to help amplify the creature-based
mechanics of the block. While there were quality cards, Limited play
could become stale. The set also features the return of the fan
favorite creature type, the Slivers.
The following mechanics first appeared in Legions:
- Amplify - As a creature with Amplify came into play, its controller could reveal creature cards from their hand that shared a type with it to add % 2B1/% 2B1 counters. Creatures with Amplify were generally costly.
- Provoke - Based on a card from Stronghold, when a creature with provoke attacked, it could untap an opponent's creature and force that creature to block it.% 26nbsp;
- Double Strike - A mechanic suggested by a fan during the Magic Website's You Make the Card Promo and was officially turned into a mechanic. A creature with Double Strike would deal both First Strike and regular combat damage.% 26nbsp;
- Morph Triggered Abilities - Some creatures had an ability that would trigger upon turning face up.
* All cards are Mint/NM and in English unless otherwise specified.
