Speculation Corner (Clearly Labelled)
A Draft-first set could change what sells. If Legacy is designed around Draft, booster boxes and Pre-Rift kits may attract players who care about opening and playing rather than only collecting singles. That is a reasonable expectation, not a confirmed trend.
Showcase cards will drive the chase. 93 Showcase cards in a 346-card set is a large share, and Showcase treatments have been a major collector driver in earlier sets.
Allocation is the real question. Past Riftbound sets have not been easy to stock. Read how it played out in our Vendetta allocation update and our Radiance pre-order guide. We expect demand for Legacy to be strong, but we cannot predict final allocation until distributors confirm it.
