According to the new rules, we may now have cards like Jace, The Mind Sculptor on BOTH sides of the battlefield. This is really going to change the game. You can no longer legend rule a Karakas, or a Umezawa's Jitte.
You can cast a Liliana of the Veil, -2 to kill something, then recast another one and +1 the new one. Crazy.
I really dont like this change as it makes it harder to get rid of legendary creatures. Its better than Pre-Kamigawa in my opinion, but I think this is a big step backwards.
And I personally believe that Liliana will see the largest power increase because of this. She is so much better now that an opponent cant just unique rule her. Same for Jace.
Thank you for finding this. I'll have to read through it in detail tomorrow (too late right now). Skimming over things, my initial reaction is a mix of "wtf" and "this is soooo stupid". Seriously. The planeswalker thing in particular makes them even more powerful. Now you can have double-planeswalkers (ie; you use the ability of #1 then cast #2, keep the new one in play, and use #2's ability).
Karakas and Jitte are also serious "this will change the format as we play it" situations.

whaaat? this is another crazy adjustment. Definitely going to cause a stir on the technical side of Legacy
*I know this thread is for the legend rule but I HAD to say something about the SB stuff too...sorry

I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.
I think the change is awesome. I don't see it being a huge deal outside of planeswalkers maybe. I don't think the format is going to break in half because two Thalias or Karakas are out at the same time...

Sneak attack mirrors are going to be absolutely awful... ugh.
Show and Telling in Emrakul vs. Emrakul results in the SnT'er losing, as the opposing one becomes summoning unsick first.
SnT'ing Griselbrand vs. Griselbrand results in the SnT'er still losing, I believe, as the other one ends up with more mana open and Sneak Show/OmniTell can't do that much at instant speed.
As for the rule changes themselves, I'm not too much of fan of clones not being able to kill legends, but oh well. Being a Show and Tell player, I'm certainly not going to play Show and Tell in the mirror after this change, unless I have Sneak Attack + Emrakul. lol

Meh if they have STP, you simply loam back the lands and do it again.

I don't see how this change is better than before. Hard stuff to kill just got HARDER to kill.
EDIT: Mox Opal is actually pretty good now..

Player 1 casts Show and Tell. Both players put Emrakul. Guess who wins this game?

Dear god I hadn't even considered Opal. I had only gotten to Gaea's Cradle so far.
I dislike the rule. I don't want to be "racing Jaces"/

So how do we kill jittes now? pack krosan grips, disenchants? The old way of doing it was just get your own jitte to stop the opponents.
Don't get me started with multiple lilianas. That is just going to be a pain in the behind

aw. this just reminded me of how much fun i have sacing a mox opal to arcbound ravager to play another opal. now this seems less fun
This dark depths combo is going to be one hell of an annoying deck.
Its going to overtake the show and tell and sneak attack decks now.
I think it MIGHT be a deck. It definitely will be tried at least. (By me probably)
Green and blue deck...crop rotation, exploration, cantrips, COUNTERS
Yeah elves definitely got more early game boost.
