How many legendaries can you have in a magic deck?
The total number of legendary creatures in a deck is not restricted. While you can have four of any legendary in your deck, don't forget that if you already have a legendary card of the same name out, you will have to choose one to sacrifice.

What is the best number of cards for a magic deck?
Prerelease is a Sealed format event, so it has a 40-card minimum. You can have more, but I recommend sticking as close to 40 cards as possible while aiming for a ratio of 24 playable cards to 16 lands, adjusting for your curve as you see fit.

Can you have more than 60 cards in a magic deck?
Your deck must be at least 60 cards. Up to fifteen cards may be included in your sideboard, if you use one. Include no more than four copies of any individual card in your main deck and sideboard combined (except basic lands). There's no maximum deck size, as long as you can shuffle your deck in your hands unassisted.
