Emeria, the Sky Ruin

Legend Status for Lands

New 29 Mar 2013 Asked by piccadilly-blue 7 Comments

Why aren't Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Emeria, the Sky Ruin legendary? Same goes for the original Ravnica cycle of lands that included Vitu-Ghazi, the City Tree? It seems that anything that has its own name, and is known as the one and only should always be Legendary.


We very seldom do legendary lands leaving them as an extra special flavor thing like Maze’s End. The reason for this is legendary lands have horrible game play. Note that lands represent the ability to tap mana from that land and any one physical space can have many mana taps in it.
