keyword:"Unique" |
Unique is a theoretical static ability which has been discussed by Mark Rosewater, but has never been printed. It would replace the legendary supertype and the 'Legend rule'.
Description
According to Rosewater, the restrictions tied to the legendary supertype are mostly unnecessary from a design perpective. If it was up to him, legendary would carry no more restrictions. In his opinion, only a small number of cards would need a keyword like “Unique” for mechanical reasons. It would keep two of them from being in play at once.[1][2][3][4][5]
