How does the legend rule work when two legendary permanents share a name?
Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

The rule is per player. If you control two legendary permanents with the same name, you keep one and put the other into your graveyard. A same-named legend controlled by an opponent does not affect yours, so an opposing clone cannot kill your legend.
