I like Wikis (probably because a previous employer used them a lot) so in 2005, I got an account at PBWiki (now PBWorks) which let you set up your own Wiki. Unfortunately, I never did end up using it for anything significant, and every couple of years they have to warn me they’re going to delete it, so I figured I’d just get the content off of it and let it die. If I ever wanted a wiki again, a markdown-based one powered by Hugo would be much more appropriate anyway.

The only significant piece of content I had there was a custom set design for a theoretical second set of Legends block. This was a riff on how Coldsnap was released supposedly the final set in the as-then uncompleted Ice Age block. I figured the older sets deserved the same treatment too and so I started putting together a hypothetical second set for Magic’s first expansion Legends.

I do not claim to be a very good set designer for Magic, all content here is based on prevailing design ideas from more than a decade ago and are presented as-is. And reading some of this stuff, I have no idea where some of it came from.

Cards and Decks

The Second Set of Legends Block cards

Traitors Prototype Deck RW Weenie

Notes

• All legends are multicolored; all multicolored cards are legendary

  Legends has legendary lands; Stronghold has the first legendary artifact; Kamigawa block has the first legendary enchantments

• All tri-color and strongly two-color (NCCDD CC) legends are rare

  Legends is the only set with uncommon multicolor legends; Homelands and Kamigawa block have uncommon monocolor legends

  Legends has a cycle of uncommon legendary lands; Kamigawa block has each one uncommon legendary land and artifact

• No common legends

  Homelands has the only two: Joven and Chandler

• Must complement Legends in limited (LEG-LEG-TRA in draft and LEG-LEG-LEG-TRA-TRA in sealed) and block constructed

  Tentatively distributed into 50 C, 50 U, 50 R; Legends is distributed into 75 C, 114 U, 121 R

• Legends (310 total) has about 18% multicolor cards (35 R + 20 U) and 13% colorless cards (20 R + 9 U artifacts & 1 R + 10 U lands)

  To follow suit, set must have 25-30 multicolored cards and 15-25 colorless cards

Reference sets

• Legends - avoid and/or somehow support: useless legendary lands, banding, world enchantments, kobolds
• Invasion block (Invasion, Planeshift, Apocalypse) - tri-color cards, wedge trios
• Kamigawa block (Champions of Kamigawa, Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa) - legend sub-theme (Mirror Gallery? flip cards?)
• Ravnica block (Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension) - strongly two-colored legends, hybrid

Abilities

• Destiny cost (remove this creature from the game, pay cost: Search your library for a legendary creature card that shares any of this creature's colors and put it into play, then shuffle your library)
• Flicker-Grandeur (discard a card of the same name as this creature: Remove this creature from the game, then return it into play under its owner's control)
