Why Play Relic of Legends
Legendary creature decks benefit enormously from this versatile mana rock that effectively doubles as additional ramp when you control the right creatures. The ability to tap your legendary creatures for mana creates explosive turns, especially with creatures that have summoning sickness or those you don't need to attack with immediately. Multicolor legendary tribal decks particularly value the perfect mana fixing combined with acceleration, allowing you to deploy multiple legends in a single turn or cast expensive spells ahead of curve.Format Notes
Commander represents this card's strongest format, where legendary creatures form the backbone of most strategies and the multiplayer environment rewards explosive mana development. The casual multiplayer nature allows time to establish a board presence with multiple legends before leveraging them for mana advantage. Pioneer and Modern see occasional play in five-color legends builds, though the competitive speed of these formats limits its impact compared to more efficient alternatives.Combos & Synergies
Sisay, Weatherlight Captain becomes particularly potent when you can tap her for mana while searching for more legends to continue the chain. Heroes' Podium creates a powerful engine where your legends grow larger while providing additional mana sources for more threats. Paradox Engine enables degenerate turns by untapping both the artifact and your legendary creatures after casting spells, though this requires careful sequencing to maximize value.Featured in These Decks
