Every card a creature
What this set is
Legions is the only Magic expansion in which every card is a creature: all 145 of them. It continues Onslaught's creature-type themes and its morph mechanic, so a lot of those creatures can be cast face down.
It added two creature keywords, amplify and provoke. Its most famous card is Akroma, Angel of Wrath, a six-power angel with a long list of keywords, and it also printed Phage the Untouchable, which wins the game when it deals combat damage to a player.
For Commander, Seedborn Muse (untap your permanents on every player's untap step) and Windborn Muse are the cards still in wide use, along with tribal support such as Wirewood Channeler and Timberwatch Elf.
Themes
Every mechanic in Legions
Amplify
As the creature enters, reveal any number of cards from your hand that share a creature type with it. It enters with that many +1/+1 counters times the amplify number.
Provoke
When this creature attacks, you may have target creature the defending player controls untap and block it if able. It drags a chosen blocker into combat.
Morph
Back from Onslaught: cast it face down as a 2/2 for {3}, and turn it face up for its morph cost.
Where You Can Play It
Format legality
Legions is a single code, and nothing from it is banned in any eternal format.
Not Standard-legal, and not Modern-legal as a set: Modern starts at Eighth Edition (July 2003). A card from here that was reprinted in a later Modern-legal set is Modern-legal in this printing too, because legality follows the card, not the printing. None of its cards is banned or restricted in Legacy, Vintage or Commander. It is also legal in Premodern, the community format built on Fourth Edition through Scourge. Commons from any set are Pauper-legal; that isn't listed per set here.

FAQ
Common questions
Where can I play Legions cards?
In Legacy, Vintage and Commander, minus the cards each format bans. Legions is too old for Standard, Pioneer or Modern as a set, though any card that was later reprinted in a Modern-legal set is Modern-legal in every printing. It is also legal in Premodern, a community format built on Fourth Edition through Scourge.
Is every card in Legions a creature?
