I’d say the format is a bit unhealthy at the moment and would love a shakeup, but we’re certainly not in the “Oko has invalidated most decks in the format” level of degeneracy where waves of players are quitting.Ĭurran Delahanty: Legacy is in a place right now.

The Ragavan ban didn’t remove UR Delver from its slot as the top dog, and the format is feeling a little stale and solved accordingly. The current power level of our S tier deck makes playing brews and non-tier 1 decks tough. It’s very difficult for decks to keep up with the card advantage of Expressive Iteration with Mystic Sanctuary while also being prepared to deal with a turn three Murktide Regent. That said, trying to play interesting decklists for content production often results in non-games vs Delver and other similar decks using the Expressive Iteration / Murktide Regent shell. Phil Gallagher: I am largely having fun playing the current Legacy format. I don’t think the presence of maindeck Pyroblast is necessarily a bad thing, but I do think all the sameness is. Murktide Regent and Expressive Iteration being the best threat and card advantage spells by a significant margin has really shrunk the format. I am very opposed to a format being as homogenized as the current one is. I will always be able to find things to love in legacy but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. Despite my enjoyment of it, I do not think the format is healthy. While I don’t enjoy Murktide games, it being such a powerful force in the meta also means I get to have fun coming up with strategies to exploit that. I think there are still a lot of strategies that haven’t been properly explored and I enjoy looking into them. I will say though that I do not have fun in games that are decided by Murktide Regent. Michael Mapson: I am enjoying Legacy but to be honest I just love playing Magic way too much. It’s arguable if one ‘S-Tier’ deck makes a format unhealthy or not, and I won’t claim to be an unbiased judge of that, but I can see how other people might perceive it to be the case. The deck is inherently solid and hard to exploit minus a few very weird/focused angles. I’m having a reasonable amount of fun, but I do recognize one indisputable fact: if you really want to win, you should play Izzet Delver.

Jarvis Yu: Currently, I still play a reasonable amount of Legacy right now, although not an enormous amount (given the upcoming Regional Championship qualifier season coming up). Now then, let's get right to the questions! Question #1 - What are your current thoughts on the Legacy format? Are you having fun? Is the format healthy? I want to thank all of the contributors to this Round Table this go around! This is an awesome list of people and you should definitely go follow these people on their respective socials. Let's take a look at who we're talking to this week! Name This edition of the Round Table includes some definitely powerful players that have given their thoughts in previous Round Tables coupled with some newcomers. Generally ten or so Legacy Content Creators/Players/etc go through some prompts on a doc and give their responses to how they feel about the Legacy format. It has been a while since we've done one of these, so the time seemed right to bring back a Legacy Round Table. Without further ado, let's dive right in! The Legacy Round Table - The Kitten Conundrums Edition Howdy folks! It's time yet again for another edition of This Week in Legacy! I'm your host, Joe Dyer, and this week we're going to be assembling the Round Table yet again for another look at how the community is feeling about Legacy! In addition to that we've got a paper event to discuss in the form of Buffalo Chicken Dip Legacy 9 as well as two Challenges from over the weekend.
