| - | Starting with the //Shadows// set, alternate versions of select cards were reprinted as the "Legends" series meant to represent particularly popular cards or concepts. This increased the total number of cards to collect while at the same time making these additions quite rare, as eventually during the set's lifetime these alternate cards would be discontinued. Legends-series cards were always foil, and marked with the RF rarity to differentiate them from their non-Legends counterpart. | + | Starting with the //Shadows// set, alternate versions of select cards were reprinted as the "Legends" series meant to represent particularly popular cards or concepts.

| - | With the release of //Black Rider//, Legends were joined with the Legends Masterwork series, indicated by a ring O as the !rarity. These cards were more than just foil, however; each card used a new card template with a completely redone color scheme and a card image that "popped" outside its frame.

Some Legends Masterworks had an * instead of an O, such as Legolas, Of the Grey Company (O). The reason for this is not known. | + | With the release of //Black Rider//, Legends were joined with the Legends Masterwork series, indicated by a ring O as the !rarity.
