Legacy Format
From Legend of the Five Rings Rules
The Legacy Format is a fan-created alternate tournament format of the Legend of the Five Rings card game. Its aim is to allow a maximum number of cards from the long history of the game to be playable simultaneously, while trying to achieve some sense of balance by removing some of the more abusive cards. The Legacy Format is managed by the Legacy Council at The Jade Hand.

How to use the Legacy Rules
The Legacy Rules are organized into three sections.
- The Legacy Format Rules contain supplemental rules for playing in the Legacy Format, including additional rules and changes to existing rules. These changes are applicable ONLY to the Legacy Format and do NOT affect normal play.
- The Legacy Rules Glossary contains rules about specific game terms no longer in use in the current format, organized alphabetically, as well as indexing links to terms mentioned in the Legacy Rules.
- The Rulings for Older Cards are an archive of Rules Team decisions about ambiguous or tricky wordings on cards, and official changes to cards by errata or most recent printing (MRP). They are organized alphabetically, by card title.

Legacy Format Rules
These rules supplement or amend the rules of the current tournament format. Again, these changes are applicable ONLY to the Legacy Format.
- Legacy Pregame Rules: rules for getting started, including deckbuilding restrictions.
- Legacy Format Changes to the Current Rulebook
- Older Cards: rules for specific ways that older cards interact differently with the main rules and for interpreting older card wordings
Legacy Format Rules Glossary
This glossary contains rules about specific game terms no longer in use in the current format, but that are pertinent to Legacy rules or helpful in interpreting older cards. They are organized alphabetically by game term.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I-J | K | L | M | N | O | P-Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X-Z
Rulings, Errata, and Most Recent Printings for Older Cards
The rulings, errata, and MRPs are ordered by card title, in strict alphabetical order (i.e., cards beginning with "The" are found under "T"). These sections only cover cards that are not currently legal, but all rulings are in effect immediately when posted.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I-J | K | L | M | N | O | P-Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X-Z
CE15 Flashback Cards
In the CE15 Anniversary Base Set, a number of non-CE-legal cards were printed and included in packs as a bonus, using their original wordings but with updated backs and frames. All of these CE15 Flashback cards have now been issued errata which brings them completely up-to-date with Celestial Edition Rules and templating.

Rules Archive
An older, more extensive list of specific card rulings for cards released before Samurai Edition can be found at the Rules Archive. However, this should only be used for rulings/cards not found in this Wiki. The Wiki is considered the final authority if it conflicts with anything found in the Archive.
