Eiganjo Castle
People are loving the Castle and the other
somewhat similar legendary lands from Champions
of Kamigawa. This land can function like a basic
land, yet provides some useful effect in the
event that you have Eiganjo Castle and a
legendary creature in play on your side at the
same time. Even if I were building a deck
focused around legendary creatures, I don't know
how important a card like this one would really
be. You can't play three or four of them since
you can only have one in play at a time. The new
legends rule makes legendary lands worse, since
your opponent's Eiganjo Castle in his hand
becomes a kind of Stone Rain for your Eiganjo
Castle already in play.
In limited, this card could be fine or even
desirable if you have three or more legendary
creatures. Unfortunately for me, I never find
myself having that many legends in my deck in
Champions limited formats.

Eiganjo Castle
Holy Situational Batman! How often is it going
to come up that you get to prevent two damage to
a legend in this game of Magic? Maybe in a
casual format where you are playing an all
legend deck, but even then you need to leave
this land AND another land untapped to ever
activate it. In short, this land is far too
situational to be worthwhile in almost all
circumstances.

All I can say is that I don't like this card.
Because it only prevents damage to a Legend, it
is highly limited. I couldn't see myself making
space for this card except for in a select few
decks. Even in limited, it's not very likely
that I would play it. But you never know there.

Eiganjo Castle is decent enough, but I'm not
going to give it too good of a rating. White
Weenie can support this card right now, with
Eight-and-a-Half Tails, Isamaru, and the
assortment of other small white legends, but
almost everywhere else, it isn't that hot.
In limited, I probably wouldn't play this card
unless I lucked out and got three or so white
legends that I wanted to run. Otherwise, it gets
to hang out in the crapstack almost immediately.

Eiganjo Castle
No heavy drawback to this cycle of cards (the
standard comes into play tapped or does damage)
makes this an auto-include as a 1 or 2 of in any
deck where the ability is relevant. The new
legendary hound means this sees some constructed
play, guaranteed.
