Just to clarify, even though it seems self explanitory.  
My opponent has Tolarian Academy.
I play my academy and they both go to the graveyard correct?

If so I love this new legend rule.

Althought I don't have the official rule in front of me yet, the scenario you present should be correct.

*edit*Ok, now I actuall DO have the rule.

420.5e If two or more permanents with the same name have the supertype legendary, all are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is called the “legend rule.� If only one of those permanents is legendary, this rule doesn’t apply.

So yeah, it works like you describe.

The rule was retroactively added to Maro's article.

Ah. Well, good on them for correcting such a ridiculous typo that left thousands of noobs wondering why all legends went straight to the graveyard no matter what upon summoning now, and why they'd print more of them.

Did he say when it will be effective?  Immediately?  When the new legends set cycles in?

No, he didn't say.  It doesn't appear to be effective immediately.  I'll try and find out more.  Normally rules changes like this are effective when the new version of the comp rules is released.

No.  It isn't a spell or ability and it isn't targeting your land.

No. Both academies are put into the graveyard by the game rules.

If this legend rule takes effect on October 20th then what do you do about the pre-releases?

It will be in effect for the pre-release as well.

It will also be in effect prior to Oct. 20th I would surmise.

How would this interact with Unnatural Selection?

ex: If I make Grim Lavamancer(a) lengendary and then make Grim Lavamancer(b) legendary would these both go to the graveyard?

Unnatural Selection has no interaction here, as it cannot change Supertypes.

So will Legend no longer be a creature type? I ask because my friend, Mistform Ultimus, is very nervous about whether he'll be able to hoist the Coat of Arms at the next olympics.

It seems pretty obvious that Legend will be removed as a subtype and all Legends will be given the Legendary Supertype.

Mistform Ultimus should be no exception and should also receive the Legendary Supertype, since he's a legend for flavor purposes as well as mechanical.

Besides, Coat of Arms with Mistform Ultimus isn't that big a deal anyway.

From the way that I read that article he clearly states the new rule is whenever another legend with the same name comes into play it destroys the first one. You people got too caught up in the "legend rule" and didn't interpret the article as a whole. He clearly explains that the second legend in play will cause the first one to be sacrificed while the second will remain in play, from what my understanding. Reread the article, I'm pretty sure I'm correct.

Jebus quoted the rules text from the comprehensive rulebook. I think I'm going to take that over any interpretation of a non-rules description of what's going on. Note that the rules text also appears in MaRo's article (It was added retroactively.) The comprehensive rules clearly state that all legendary permanents with the same name are put into their owners' graveyards. Totally unambiguous.

Nope, all would be put into the graveyard, not just the first one. Here is the actual rule:

You are also not sacrificing the legends. They are being put into the graveyard as a state based effect.

Is there a window to tap the academy for mana first?  Matt is saying no - but the plain text of the rules appears that you can.  I don't imagine that you can, but I just want to be clear.

No, same as the old way except your opponent loses theirs too.  They don't every get priority to tap either.

It doesn't work much different from how it is now.  It's a state-based effect.  It happens before you ever get priority, so you don't have a chance to play mana abilities.
