Living Legend Rules

The Living Legend format is a thrilling evolution of Classic Constructed, where the mighty heroes who’ve achieved living legend status, along with their iconic weapons, have been unshackled from the confines of conventional play – a realm where old heroes find new glory, and where players can unleash the full potential of their decks. Step into the shoes of these revered champions and embrace the power of unparalleled card synergies, or step up to the challenge with your contender to take down these renowned titans. Are you ready to test the strength of living legends?

The following only covers the basics and recommendations for Living Legend. Please refer to the Tournament Rules and Policy for more complete details on running a Living Legend. The full Living Legend Ruleset can be found here.

Living Legend is based on the Classic Constructed format.

1 hero card (can’t be a young hero)
80 card-pool (includes weapons, equipment, etc., and cards in the deck)
Start with a minimum of 60 cards in the deck
Up to 3 copies of each unique card
55 minutes per round, first to 1

Card-pool Construction Rules

In Living Legend, each player registers their non-young hero card and 80 cards that make up their card-pool. The card-pool includes arena-cards (weapons, equipment, etc.), and deck-cards that will start in the player’s deck. A card can only be included in a Player’s card-pool if the card’s class/talents are a subset of the hero’s class/talents (e.g. a Light talent card can only be included in a card-pool if the hero has a Light talent).

Generic cards can be included in any card-pool. A card-pool may contain up to 3 copies of each unique card. A card is unique if it has a different name AND pitch value from another card. (e.g. Sink Below (red) is unique compared to Sink Below (blue) because they have different pitch values)

These rules are subject to the effects of the hero or cards in the card-pool, which may allow or limit what cards can be included. (e.g. Heroes with “Essence” allow certain talented cards to be included, even if the hero doesn’t have the same talent. Cards with “Legendary” limit themselves to only 1 in the card-pool.) For an up-to-date list of cards legal in Living Legend please refer to the Card Legality Policy.

If the tournament requires card-pool registration, you can find the official forms in Tournament Forms.
