Living Legend

On August 30th, 2022, Prism, Sculptor of Arc Light officially reached Living Legend status in Classic Constructed. Debuting with the release of Monarch on May 7th, 2021, Prism stepped out of the The Library of Illumination and soon discovered the legends of the Heralds, Sol’s golden emissaries, who watched over the people of Solana. Quick, curious and incredibly intelligent, Prism adapted to her new life with ease.
