Topic: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

Chromium, Nicol Bolas, Vaevictus Asmadi, Arcades Sabboth, Palladia-Mors; those guys. From Legends. With black borders. Anyone have any?

Re: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

I've got:

Nicol Bolas (Timeshifted)
Vaevictus Asmadi (Chronicles)
Palladia-Mors (Chronicles)

Re: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

Only interested in Black-bordered dragons from Legends.

Re: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

Cool.  Out of curiosity, what's up with black borders?  Why I ask is because lately I've seen players attempting to use black border cards (dragons specifically) at modern events even though they aren't legal in modern.

Players like black bordered cards because the rest of the cards in their decks are that color border and many players like consistency in looks. It's the same reason many prefer modern bordered cards, they think that they look better.

Modern essentially begins when cards stopped using the White border and went to black borders.   He's saying people are trying to pass older cards for Modern cards by using ones with black borders.

If it's been reprinted with a modern border, all previous printings are legal.

Re: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

Not always true.  For instance, duel decks Knights vs. Dragons reprinted Henge Guardian with a black border, yet it's not modern legal.

Re: Anyone have any Legends Dragons?

I think the misconception is that Modern is an eternal format, but is rather a non-rotating format.

This is completely and totally wrong. There's no "essentially" with modern. It's 8th edition and forward. Also it is not eternal - as mentioned - so no Commander card shenanigans.

I just collect Dragons and don't have any Legends printings of the Elder Dragons; only Chronicles (And TSP for Bolas). I just specified Black Bordered so people would know I didn't mean Chronicles.

Someone from our group recently got some cards from his grandpa, including a Chromium from Legends in NM. However, we are waiting to see if he can trade it, because his brother has rights to half of the cards.
