et history

This set is the first set to feature premium cards also known as foil cards, inserted randomly into boosters.

Storyline

Urza's Legacy continues the flashback begun with Urza's Saga. Urza's Legacy continues Urza's quest to fight Phyrexia's godlike master, Yawgmoth's plans to conquer his home world, Dominaria. After an attempt to manipulate time goes catastrophically wrong, Urza searches for more allies as he builds a skyship to lead the war against Phyrexia. While he is away, the people of his Tolarian Academy have to battle a Phyrexian infestation on the island itself. The story of this set is recounted in the book "Time Streams."

Mechanics

Urza's Legacy expanded on some of Urza's Saga's mechanics.

Numerous cards with Echo had additional effects when they came into play, making it often useful to cast the cards without having to pay the echo cost on the next turn. Also, three non-creature artifacts were printed with Echo.

More "Sleeping" enchantments were introduced, including four that turned into creatures, and one of each color that produced various powerful effects when triggered.

Notable cards

* [http://gatherer.wizards.com/gathererlookup.asp?set=Urza's%20Legacy&name=memory_jar Memory Jar] -- After many powerful cards from Urza's Saga and a few preceding sets were banned, the DCI was wary of more such combo cards. After the release of Urza's Legacy, Memory Jar was performing so well that it was banned before it even became tournament legal.
