The Legendary Cube is coming to Magic Online on November 18th, 2015! Tied to the paper release of Commander 2015, this Cube will be all about the legends. In the first iteration of this Cube, all the creatures will be Legendary.
What does this mean? According to the announcement expect a "drastically different take on play style" where legends will combine to alter the field of battle in new and interesting ways.
New for this draft experience, players will be able to win cards featured in the Legendary Cube from special Legendary Cube Prize Packs. These packs will contain six cards from the 150 card Legendary Cube. Prizes will include cards from Commander 2015, Commander 2014, Commander 2013, the original Commander, Conspiracy, Planechase 2012 Edition, and Commander's Arsenal. These cards are expected to impact "Legacy and Vintage play", so True-Name Nemesis, Flusterstorm, and Scavenging Ooze may be wrapped in digital foil. These drafts will also award Play Points.
Expect special events surrounding the Legendary Cube once released.
