History of Benalia is super sweet and makes 8 stats for 3 mana. Suddenly I’m like “I wonder what else are Knights in my cube?”

It's specifically worse on T1
Also Fallen Empires over here:
This is something that makes tokens that I can also proliferate
Or your opponent can proliferate with Thrummingbird's trigger in order to kill your Saga and give your Knights +2/+1 until end of turn in their post-combat step...

Got to love homarids I like the fine line between rules text and flavor text, and I like that it targets any player. As a card it's actually one of the most flexible creatures to dump a bunch of cards into any player's graveyard (enabling both mill and self-mill), though I think I prefer Hedron Crab and Minister of Inquiries, simply because they're cheaper.

Cool! And typical
Been leading a settled down life for the past few years myself. Married, mortgage, kids, work, you know. But I'm not complaining, we picked an affordable house, I love my kids to bits, and I enjoy my work. And on top of that I still have time for weekly D&D sessions and the occasional evening of cube or commander. Life's good!

Every now and again they do a nickname podcast where (Deserving or not) every card in a set gets a nickname
As you can see, it goes back quite a bit.
While Man-Bat is pretty good, I think my favorite is Randy "Two-Shields" Jackson (Seriously, why all the shields? Not exactly like he can block)

Holy hell, I just got hit by the strongest nostalgia bomb. I've been playing since Revised but I've taken a ton of breaks, and my biggest MtG based regret is not playing during Time Spiral block (I got burned out during Kamigawa and missed both original Ravnica and Time Spiral).

Also fun fact for those not listening to maros drive to work podcast, sagas are the proto design of planes walkers.
The idea got introduced during time spiral, but they decided they needed a but more workshopping, so the pushed them back to lorewyn.
What would eventually be Garruk Wildspeaker was essentially:
I-- create a 3/3 beast
II-- Double all your tokens
III-- overrun

Sagas look cool
HyyyyyyyyYyYyYyYyYYYYYpe!
Thanks Chris and thanks WotC.
Also: Why are they not legendary? (I know the question arrives late)
Legendary definition: The stuff of legends which are epic tales of ancient past. In MTG regiment legendary means unique; one of a kind. It seems like Sagas fullfills both definitions.

Because saga's are the epic tales about legendary stuff, they're not legendary stuff themselves. Any bard worth its salt can recount these tales! Anyway, that's my guess!
That frame tough... ewwwww.
