	Karakas doesn't suck. Not by a long shot. It bounces [http://magiccards.info/roe/en/4.html Emrakul,] who is otherwise impossible to deal with, and combos with [http://magiccards.info/ts/en/28.html Mangara of Corondor] to wipe your opponent's board. Often seen as a singleton in decks running [http://magiccards.info/query?q=knight+of+the+reliquary&v=card&s=cname Knight of the Reliquary.] Despite being reprinted in Eternal Masters, it's still a $70 card.

	'''Legends''' is a set of cards from the game Magic: The Gathering. It is ~~famous~~ for being blatantly underpowered on the whole, yet somehow having some of the most overpowered cards in history printed in there as well. It was focused around the new legend mechanic, which made a creature or land unique. (At the time, it meant you couldn't cast that spell if another copy was already on the field; now, the rules are a bit different.)		'''Legends''' is a set of cards from the game Magic: The Gathering.

	It was the first set to include multi-colored cards, but for some strange reason, being multicolored was considered an inherent benefit rather than an inherent detriment, as was being legendary. Because of this, they made every multicolored creature extremely weak.

For comparison the uncommon Black Knight, who was in the game from the very start, costs less in monoblack (and as mentioned above, RND didn't understand the value of color fixing yet), wasn't legendary and had the nifty "first strike" and "protection from white" abilities.

	In the vein of Tabernacle, this is another extremely expensive niche card. Clocking in at $600, this deck shuts down most aggro decks for only 4 mana. The only frequently used creatures in Legacy that have flying are Delver of Secrets and Vendilion Clique, so Moat does work most of the time. It's only really used in [http://magiccards.info/query?q=argothian+enchantress&v=card&s=cname Enchantress] and Miracles decks.
