Jedit Ojanen
A vanilla 5/5 for : no keywords, no enters-the-battlefield trigger, nothing but a name and a creature type. That blankness is the point. Legends introduced legendary creatures as a type, and the earliest legends were priced as though the supertype itself were a chunk of the cost, a tax for being named and unique under the old Legend Rule that simply destroyed any duplicate. Jedit Ojanen is the clearest illustration of that pricing philosophy. The body does nothing on arrival, and the cost demands a triple-pip commitment split across two colors at a time when the manabases to support it barely existed. What the card represents is a design assumption Wizards has spent decades walking back: that legendary status, flavor weight, and a name from the lore were worth real mana on their own. Jedit got a do-over much later in Jedit Ojanen of Efrava, which kept the name and the cat-warrior frame but rebuilt the chassis around tokens and trample, the modern answer to the question the original could not articulate. The first printing survives as a reference point for how far creature design has moved, and as the Cat tribe's earliest legendary anchor.
