Legacy was created as a response to Vintage. Players wanted a competitive format which utilized the older cards in the set but did not have the rampant power present in the Vintage format. Enter Legacy. Legacy permits cards from all core sets, expansions and promotional cards (that utilize the standard card back) except it has no restricted list - only a banned list.
The banned cards are as follows:
