Randy Buehler is a longtime Magic player, creator of the Magic Online Super Leagues, and an expert architect of Magic Cubes. In November 2014, working alongside Magic R&D, he led a complete redesign of the Magic Online Cube, resulting in the new Legacy Cube. Randy's ultimate goal was to continue to look at the trends of how players are using the Legacy Cube, and update it in response.

The Legacy Cube is returning soon to Magic Online. Details on exactly when as well as the event structures and formats will be in tomorrow’s Magic Onlnie blog.
