Legends Collation

Legends is a large set with 75 commons, 114 uncommons, and 121 rares. The printing was done in Belgium.

Legends was sold in 15 card booster packs. Booster boxes had 36 packs.

Pack Anatomy

Legends uses striped collation with 11 × 11 sheets. Ordering can be either rare-uncommon-common or uncommon-rare-common. There is always a rule insert before the first card.

Rules Insert	3 Uncommons	1 Rare	11 Commons
Rules Insert	1 Rare	3 Uncommons	11 Commons

The uncommon sheet Legends is usually (or always) split two halves with the top six rows and the bottom five rows treated as separate sheets for the purposes of collation. In a single booster box, all the uncommons will usually (or always) be from the same half of the sheet. [1] Boxes that have uncommons from the top half of the sheet (including Mana Drain) are often called A boxes and boxes that have uncommons from the bottom half of the sheet (including Karakas) are often called B boxes. Stripe width for the uncommons is only 2 to 4.

Note that splitting sheets like the uncommon sheet here is not unusual in early sets. However, Legends boxes typically only have one independent sequence of uncommons whereas The Dark, for example, has two which may be from different halves of the sheet.

Rare Sheet

I haven't seen a picture of the sheet, and I haven't collected enough data to reconstruct the sheet. However, comparing the English and Italian common and uncommon sheets reveals a pattern. The Italian sheets have the same layout as the English sheets with the five right-most columns moved to the left of the sheet. [2] The data I have collected is consistent with the transformation (and indeed this transformation can be detected). This isn't completely conclusive, as it's possible other cards could have been moved (and the top row can't be determined from the data).

[1] Wizards actually acknowledged the A vs B uncommon issue and offered an exchange program whereby customers could send in uncommons from one group and recieve uncommons from the other group. This offer was published in the Duelist #2, and a scan is provided by user berkumps on the Magic Librarities Forum.

[2] The "Compilation of Uncut Sheets" thread on the Magic Librarities Forum has picture of the common and uncommon sheets. There are also pictures of all the Italian language sheets.
