Jules Robins has always been as involved in Magic as he could be. He’s judged, written articles, appeared on podcasts, and played everywhere from kitchen tables to Grand Prix to remote mountaintops. That’s why he couldn’t be happier now that he has a chance to create it as the Design Intern in Magic R&D.

Legacy Cube will return on April 12, but this update entails a bit of a shake-up. Back in September, we made a big change to the cube: cutting iconic broken cards like Show and Tell, Sneak Attack, and Natural Order in favor of cards that push toward playing "regular Magic." Many players prefer that baseline gameplay—that's why it's our baseline. With the Vintage Cube pushing so hard toward doing broken things, we wanted to ensure those players had a cube tailored to them. But with the addition of the Modern Cube Natalie Weizenbaum created, the Legacy Cube no longer has to pick up that slack. We also want to make things for those of you who prefer playing with the powerful and iconic cards of Magic's history, and much like Legacy itself, the Legacy Cube is a prime spot to let you do just that.

The cube says Legacy right in the name, after all, so as of Wednesday you can Sneak Attack in Emrakul, the Aeons Torn; search up Batterskull with Stoneforge Mystic; and Natural Order out a Craterhoof Behemoth. And those aren't the only changes! The cube now features the Mirran Swords, the full cycle of fast lands, and a few newcomers from Aether Revolt.

Whether you're a longtime Legacy Cube veteran who's been itching to cast these powerful spells again or this is your first time playing Show and Tell, there's plenty of excitement to be had. And if you'd rather do battle with boards full of creatures and planeswalkers, we've got a few new toys for you as well. Check out the complete card list, and get ready for some cubing!
