Legacy (keyword)

Legacy is a keyword ability that only appears on test cards.
==Description==
Legacy is a nod to Legacy-style board games. It is a static ability that allows you to permanently change the rules connected to a card by permanently marking it with a pen. There are two applications of this: the two creatures are modified during deckbuilding, and as such do not change, though a player may modify them as part of their sideboarding plan. <c>Gold Mine</c>, however, changes during gameplay, and hence can vary its value as the match continues.
===History===
The mechanic appeared on two test cards in the Mystery Booster set. It reappeared in Mystery Booster 2 on .
==Example==
==Rulings==
* Once you've marked a card, you can't change it, even between games. It remains part of that physical card
* If an object becomes a copy of an object with a word blank, the value in that blank is copied.
* If an object without nodes becomes a copy of an object with nodes, the copy has no nodes. A cost to mark one of its nodes can't be paid.
==Trivia==
*The plot booster is another concept derived from Legacy-style board games.
*<c>Cryptic Spires</c> has similarities to this ability, with "As you create your deck..." being analogous to "Before the game starts..." or "During deckbuilding...".
