Theme Deck Review Compendium: Visions “Legion of Glory”

No interesting promos or anything in the design of these, sadly, unlike with Mirage.

Legion of Glory

A Mirage block spin on the classic White Weenie archetype.

Wizards Product information page (archived)

It’s said that fortune favors the bold, and the noble fighters that make up the “Legion of Glory” deck are both bold and fortunate. Control the battlefield, keep your opponent’s forces off balance, and your determined little army will march to victory!

The “Legion of Glory” deck is filled with efficient creatures. In fact, none of them cost more than three mana. Early in the game, get out as many creatures as you can and start attacking before your opponent can set up a defense. As the game progresses and larger creatures start appearing on the other side of the table, your forces may start to seem overmatched. Don’t worry—they have some tricks up their sleeves.

Budget Deckbuilding: Legion of Glory

In my opinion, “Legion of Glory” is a solid start into the four Preconstructed Decks from Visions, and I am excited to see what else is in store here.

Visions: Legion of Glory Review (Part 1 of 2)

With the widening of the card pool with Visions, we can begin to reexamine those deck archetypes that perhaps were unsustainable in a Mirage-only environment- and White Weenie certainly ranks amonsgt them. The early game is clearly central to Legion of Glory in a way that wasn’t feasible in Mirage.

Visions: Legion of Glory Review (Part 2 of 2)

Hits: Solid game plan well executed with a pleasing diversity of cards; low mana curve that is generous with land-light starts and still lets you churn out attackers

Misses: Leans a bit heavily upon auras to get around the usual weakness of weenie strategies (facing larger creatures)

OVERALL SCORE: 4.15/5.00

And to my disappointment, I think that’s basically it. Can’t even find any official announcement of the lists or online release events for the set on the archived version of WoTC’s archives.
