Build Notes
- Modal double-faced cards that are only lands on their back sides will no longer be seen as lands by cards like Land Grant that look for land cards in hand.
- Players who purchased the Legacy Eternal Weekend token will no longer have access to cards not in their collection with Wednesday’s no-downtime release. (Players who purchased both the Legacy and Vintage tokens are unaffected.)
