Players hoping to use a wider variety of cards will often be directed to the Vintage format.
Legacy is one of Magic: The Gathering’s most powerful and complex formats.
This allows Vintage decks to be some of the most versatile decks you’re able to build.
Each player usesa deck consisting of a minimum of 60 cards, with the option to include a15-card sideboard.
Some cards are considered too powerful for players to have multiple copies in their deck.
Therefore, the Restricted List was put together to limit players toa single copyof these cards.
