Read this story →Lead vision designer Doug Beyer identifies three design pillars: a paired legendary duo in every booster, five Hexhaven schools, and conflict between the Lorwyn Five planeswalkers and counterparts from their home planes. Every booster contains a pair of linked legendary creatures plus a third legendary card; the set has 66 uncommon legends, 71 commons and 109 uncommons.
