I love how it's just a 1/1 for 1 LEGENDARY THOPTER. This set is absurd. I generally hate artifact-themed sets, but this set is shaping up to be my favorite set in quite a while.
So...are we getting "Hope of Ghirapur's Expertise," or...?
Seriously, though, from a story standpoint I think this is less of a totally-unique creation (in the same way that the Gearhulks could be replicated with enough time and effort, which is probably the flavor explanation for why they're not legendary), and more of a legend because of the impact this one in particular had. Unless the array of planeswalkers working with the renegades kitted it out with some unique stuff, I guess.
Also, first colorless commander that isn't an Eldrazi or on the Reserved List. So that's cool.

Well, the flavor text says that the renegades stuck an aether disruptor on this thopter in particular to destroy the Planar Bridge, so unless they did that with more than one of these, I can see why this one would be legendary. (Then again, with Mirror Gallery there can be lots of legendary thopters!)

Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
