As part of an ongoing series of weekly changes, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has announced the updates and changes for week five of Strixhaven on Magic Online.

Legacy Cube

After nearly a year, the Legacy Cube returns May 12-26. Players who enjoyed the power-level of the Vintage Cube but not “the huge spikes that come with actual power” will feel right at home in this unique Cube.
