The first time I laid eyes on this particular artifact it was practically screaming EDH. Yup this 5 colorless mana costing artifact was made for EDH glory.

I mean simply glancing at it one can see that it is a  Coat of Arms for Legendary Creatures.A +1/+1 for each other Legendary creature you control.Yup. I mean Let us face it if you try to  play this in standard you would end up with a deck that may have legends but would require a whole lot of of colored mana than you could possibly provide and just for the heck of it you might want to try it. It is going to be a crazy fun deck that might lose a lot but fun to pull off. Chromatic Lantern might be a key in these proceedings. Let me also remind you that any deck with Legends in it does not promise to be a cheap one. 

For today though I would love to focus on the EDH possibilities of this card. It might be a very expensive EDH deck because a lot of the creatures in it would be mostly legendary cards. Unless you have tons of them lying and are just looking for a home.

Now which color should you choose your legends from? Since there are no shortage of cool Legendary creatures you might as well settle on two colors that you are familiar with. I am really into Blue Green lately for some reason so I am going to go with that here. Yeah Simic legends!

First off this deck would really need a lot of legends that could provide crazy amounts of mana and fast!. (Azusa just screams at me from nowhere. Pick me! pick me! Vorinclex grumbles that he could do a great job too).Massive Card draws are also in because of Jin-Gitaxias. 

Another thing that I would love here is token producers and the infamous Proteus staff and Mass Polymorph. Yup this is shaping up to be one heck of a Blue/Green deck.Packed to the gills with Blue and Green legends that will tip the tides in your favor.

Imagine playing a Master of waves and getting let us say 6 tokens. You could just leave those tokens be or your could cast Mass Polymorph and get at least 6 of those legends on your side of the battlefield. Giving each of your legends a +1/+1!

Just in case you are not able to find a mass polymorph you could always resort to the cards X ability. At the end of turn you could pay X , look at the top X cards of your library where X is the amount of mana you paid. You could then choose a Legendary creature card and put it into your hand. The rest goes into the bottom of your library in any order making these other cards available once your activate a Proteus staff or a Mass Polymorph.

Well , it has been a long time coming. Time to get to work on this brew.
