Over the course of the next week we will be revealing the Legacy Rare cards we plan to include in PoC. The number of these 18 new cards will pick up where we left off last year.

I assume some will ask about the distribution of these. I don't know yet that anything official has been decided. They may be included in phase 2 or Rob may choose to wait to include them when both phases are combined.

Without further ado, here's the first spoiler:

Nice! I always thought this would be a good one to pick! Seem even more that way since we have been getting some more Egyptian stuff lately!

Preview #2, a classic FooF card that all the prophets we're printing this year love:

Why is the middle word in the #1 card title not capitalized?

I would like to think that this year the Legacy rare would take the spot of a common in any given pack at random from a box, rather than the Rare (still about 3-5 per box). Should this be implemented (it should), there shouldn't be a problem with either waiting to include them when both phases are combined (to incentivize sales after the fact) or begin including them right away (so people can start collecting them sooner). If it is done like it was done last year, well... I really don't want that to be the case again.

i agree that having them take the place of a common would be much better

That's how the original is...we are discussing if it would be better to change that or leave as is.

I also forgot to mention, this makes it game time! So with MkE #20 the #19 card is more than likely a Genesis card. Which one do we think it is? There are several characters that are good as is as well as a handful of enhancements. There are also now 13 cards between MkE and Search, which will be hard to narrow down as that is basically the whole O.T. But it does mean that only 2 cards come after it, so probably N.T. ones.

MKE image updated. We're unable to come up with a good reason that the original wasn't capitalized. Joseph Before Pharaoh was like that in Patriarchs as well and we updated it with the FF reprint.

I very strongly agree , I think it would be much better to have the legacy rare replace a common card spot instead of the Rare spot in booster packs.

Well I think every player would agree this is better...but they are called Legacy RARES, so my hopes of this happening are pretty small.

They are still rares if there are only a few per box

TheJaylor · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2019, 09:43:56 PM »

My bets for #19 are on A New Beginning (Pa) except it'll be Blue and have a different image. The ability needs to be redone anyway and it's been in the wrong color since FooF so clearly this is a good choice.

This was redone as a dominant in FoM so I highly doubt, and IMHO shouldn’t be, updated as an LR.

But I wanna be able to have 9 in T2...

So over the past few months, I've had no less than 4 people use an Egyptian-based Deck Discard strategy against me in T1 games. Here's a LR I'm sure they'll be interested in getting.

That artwork looks awesome. Definitely a worthwhile LR to add to the mix!

goalieking87 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 13, 2019, 10:43:44 AM »

An afterthought...

Could there be an alternative to “Deck Discard” for the identifier? The standard for the naming of Lost Souls has recently been related to the verse rather than a description of what it does.

I am not strongly recommending this, but curious what thoughts others would have. Since it is commonly referred to as the Deck Discard LS now, I could also see keeping its Legacy name.

Josh · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2019, 10:44:00 AM »

Hmmm, with the ruling change that affected Besieging the City and their "Restrict opponents from drawing" ilk, I wonder if BtC will be a LR. Seems a prime candidate.

Since they reprinted Mayhem with the errata wording, this is a very good choice. Great card as well!

While we are doing that going forward, I'm not sure it's worth trying to rename all the old LS that have "ability-based" names.

If there had to be a rename, I'd like "Sacrifice" for this one. But "Deck Discard" is ok since everyone already associates the older one with that.

Cards like BtC and Words of Discouragement should fade away and never return.

At least, not in their current forms.

If we're guessing on the potential Genesis card, I would hope for Abraham's Descendant. That would be sweet as a LR.
