Sindbad

Retrofitting Character Legends

Are you planning to make Arabian Nights characters (Aladdin, Sindbad, Ali Baba, etc.) legendary? I think that this is not Nephilim case and they deserve it. They aren't legendary only because they wasn't that thing back then. It's absolutely obvious they should be legendary because they're concrete characters. You retrospectively give creature types to creatures that should bear them, you should make this change with creatures that are obvious legends.

The problem is it functionally changes them. You now can’t play multiple at the same time.

Obscure Reference Revealed

Fa'adiyah Seer from Planar Chaos is a really obscure reference. It itself is a colorshifted version of Sindbad and so, the Fa'adiyah Seer is also from Rabiah—Fa'adiyah is a forest region of Rabiah and comes from the old Arabian Nights comics about Taysir.

So much I do not know.

Legacy Card Updates

What is stopping early cards like King Suleiman or Sindbad from being changed from Creatures into Legendary Creatures? Cards like Harsh Justice and Assassin's Blade have oracle text different from the printed card.

It’s what we call functional errata (meaning it changes how the card works mechanically) and we try not to do it.
