Rules changes
With the release of Magic 2014, several rules changes are implemented within the game.[2] The rules changes were subject to a specific article by Sam Stoddard to place them in the context flavor and the rules decision making.[3]
- The 'Legend rule' is changed. Legendary permanents of the same name and Planeswalker cards of the same type are now only placed into the graveyard if they are controlled by the same player. For example, if player A controls a Jace Beleren and player B controls Jace, the Mind Sculptor, nothing happens when before both cards would be placed into the graveyard. However, if player A had control of both, that player will choose one of those cards and that card will be placed in the graveyard will the other remains.
- Sideboards in constructed play now can contain up to 15 cards, rather than the rule of either 15 or 0 cards before.
- Indestructible becomes a keyword.
- "*this creature* is unblockable" is removed and aligned with other effects to "*this creature* can't be blocked".
- The rules for playing additional lands off of effects like Explore are streamlined.

Magic 2014 has at least five cycles:
- Planeswalkers: There are five mythic rare Planeswalker cards in the set — Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Jace, Memory Adept, Liliana of the Dark Realms, Chandra, Pyromaster and Garruk, Caller of Beasts.
