I vaguely remember a rule about there being a limit to legendary
creatures. Is it up to 4 in play and they can't be the same type or
they die?

Nope. If there is ever more than one legendary permanent -with the same name-
in play, all of them get put into owners' graveyards immediately. Several
legendary things can be in play at the same time just fine, as long as no
two of them have the same name.

When a legendary permanent hits the table, and there is another legendary
permanent in play with the same name, both are placed in the graveyard.

No, the so-called "Legendary Rule" says that there can only be ONE
Legendary permanent (creature, artifact, land, enchantment) of a kind in
play.
That means if you have a Legendary Creature in play (the first i can
think of is "Konda, Lord of Eiganjo"), your Konda is to be the only one.
If somebody else (or you) plays another Konda, they BOTH go to the
graveyard.

Hope that helps.

You might be remembering the number 4 from the rule saying
you can only have 4 of any given card (except Basic Lands and
[is it Ravenous Rats?]) *in your deck*. But that has nothing
to do with what's in play; if two Legends with the same name
manage to be in play at the same time, regardless who played
them, they both die before anything else can happen. (there's
one Legend that breaks this rule; that it does so is clearly
noted on the card)

Quick followup to clarify - all the ones that share that name get put. Any
others that aren't sharing a name with another legendary permanent are
unaffected.

Note that it doesn't matter who controls them.

Yup, an there is "Mirror Gallery" (Artifact from BoK) that simply says
"The Legend rule doesn't apply." But to me it seems a bit too risky to
play it.

Actually the legend Keith was talking about was probably

Brothers Yamazaki
2R
Legendary Creature - Human Samurai
2/1
Bushido 1 (When this blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +1/+1 until end of
turn.)
If there are exactly two permanents named Brothers Yamazaki in play, the
"legend rule" doesn't apply to them.
Each other creature named Brothers Yamazaki gets +2/+2 and has haste.


Mirror Gallery is not a Legendary artifact

Right, because that would have been sort of pointless.

Thus the "AND" in Thomas' post. (Or rather, the attempt at one - it came
out "an" but surely it's not THAT confusing an error.)

Actually, it might have mattered in conjunction with effects that
make artifacts lose their abilities...not that I can *recall* any
other than Titania's Song right now. But that's just picking at
nits. :)

Thank you very much ;-)
Yes, that should have been an "and", as it was clear to me that the
Brothers were the card Keith talked about, and I simply wanted to state
the fact that "Mirror Gallery" existed, too.

Excellent, we all cleared that up very nicely.
