Was it harder to play? If you didn't understand the rules amongst friends you made them up. But the game also tended towards more battles like "my flying bear defends against your dragon, oh no a lightning bolt". I tried getting back into it a few years ago because I still love the idea of MTG and every card had a book of text and all the best combos were sorted out the second a set released. Which -- I understand why people like that. I'd still like my flying bears back.

one word: banding.

Don't forget the even-more-specific "bands with other" ability from Legends!

I still have a hundred of those Legends rules insert cards somewhere in my basement. Sadly they aren't in demand by collectors.
