r/MTGLegacy

Moving to Colorado Springs in a few weeks. I know there are shops in Denver/Boulder that fire Legacy events here and there. If there are any proxy friendly shops I dont mind trying to help start a weekly event to start up.

Hello, i need some help with my Deck. The last time i played competetive was 2 or 3 years ago. And thats what my deck looks like.

Whats the easiest way to update this so that i have a chance of winning some games? Thank you in advance.

Back again this week with something a little bit different. My wife and I recently lost our boy Cosmo to cancer recently, so I wanted to do something fun to honor his memory, so I went all in on cats in legacy. This is definitely a brew that took the theme to the max, and is championed by Kaheera and has one plan and one plan only, completely flood the board with cats. I tried to make this as competitive as I could while keeping on theme, but this is definitely just a fun brew to honor Cosmo and all the other pets we've loved and lost over our lives. Enjoy the kitty parade!

Thank you for watching and for any feedback. If you enjoyed the video and are able please consider donating your time, financial support, or supplies to your local humane society, animal shelter, or rescue group. Pets sometimes wind up in unfortunate situations they have no control over, so anything we can do to help make their lives a little better is always appreciated. If you are looking to add a furry, feathered, or scaly member to your family, please consider adoption first.

I'm considering drafting a deck primer and sideboard guide. Does anyone have an example of a deck primer or sideboard guide they liked? Recent meta versions preferred for sideboard.

Hi, I'll be in Milano for work for the next 3 weeks and I'm looking for casual or competitive events during my time off.

I looked into legacy League Milano, but I don't see any events for the next month. Local shops don't publicise their events on their websites either

Really looking forward to see the legacy scene in Milano

Thanks!

I have been interested in affinity for some time now, and the play loop of being able to recycle your artifacts is very attractive, but a lot of the time Emry seems like he comes down, mills 4 and dies immediately, or is eaten by a karakas.

I realize the card is amazing when its working, but even Memory Guardian is something I am considering for the speed/evasion/beatddown plan since Emry always seems to eat removal right away.

Ever since it was released I’ve been looking for the best way to use Glaring Fleshraker as a main wincon in ANY format. I know it has a home in Mystic Forge. Any good Eldrazi decks use it? Is it better positioned in Modern? (I know very little about modern. Theres also no Modern scene near me, but there is some Legacy). I’m not necessarily looking for the most powerful T1 deck, but I am more competitive than I like to admit! Interested in the community’s thoughts.

Played a Lague trying to see if the shells is good. Still trying to figure out some flex slots.

Title basically sums up my query. It would seem like 70% of the online pool is playing some variant of blue tempo either UW with Phelia, Swords or the UB tempo with bow masters.

I can’t figure out what deck actually matches up well against this. Tron decks just get all their shit countered, forget about resolving a one ring or TKS they can just daze you or some bs. Lands deck doesn’t work as Marit lage dies to swords and then they recur swords with the flipped Tamiyo WTF that card is absolutely broken, it should be banned imo. They just need to resolve a brainstorm and suddenly it’s flipped I mean what kind of ridiculous shit is that . Reanimator and Show and tell both lose to the insane arsenal of counterspells available to these decks and if they use them all they just flow state a bunch more back so good luck playing combo.

Guys help what strategy can reliably beat the tamiyo decks at a reasonable clip I am SO SICK of losing to these decks

Thanks

Title question; any regular Legacy events in Springfield or Western MA?

On the Japanese vs English article differences: They will translate and update the English article in the near future with the Japanese explanation, no specific timeframe given. It's an "internal error" according to them.

Fantasticar restricted in Vintage: They acknowledge [[The Fantasticar]] was a mistake and especially 3 mana artifacts need to be carefully looked at for Vintage with stuff like [[Mishra's Workshop]]. They're easy to just slap in a deck and don't need extensive testing to find a broken shell if they are broken. In Vintage Raker shops had alarming pickrate and winrate increases that did not normalize: usually high pickrate decks drift a bit to 50% winrate but Raker shops did not.

Opportunity cost: They mention spinning your wheels on Moxen, Rituals, and Cantrips was something decks already wanted to do in both Legacy and Vintage and cards that reward that instead of needing less generically useful setup as a combo piece is problematic.

Legacy & design problems: They mention that the Fantasticar is a Legacy viable card that comes from a Commander Precon, and that inherently, in isolation, that sentence is not an issue for them by itself. They say [[True-Name Nemesis]] was an issue but cards like [[Colossal Gravereaver]] and [[Kappa Cannoneer]] being in Legacy isn't inherently problematic.

They mention Fantasticar was seen in "UBer", Car Stompy, white Car decks, Doomsday, Storm, Mystic Forge, 8cast, and a lot more decks. They didn't like how the card crunched Legacy towards fast mana mattering more and games being more compressed as it limits what kinds of decks you can play. Over the last year they mentioned they want to decompress the format and let "interactive decks" like Lands and [[Swords to Plowshares]] decks thrive more and let cards like [[Wasteland]] matter in a long game rather than trying to keep them at 0 lands and kill them the next turn.

Future design: There are new steps in the process for products that don't go through standard and people will flag cards that may be seen as problematic in Legacy and Vintage. For example, 3 mana cards are going to have 2 color pips more often so that cards like [[Ancient Tomb]] can't power them out faster. Also since they know cards like [[Brainstorm]] or [[Force of Will]] or [[Mishra's Workshop]] are still going to be good in 2 years after the card is designed, they will be careful designing cards with notable interactions with these.

Unbans: They want to wait for the metagame to be more stable and stale rather than unbanning just because. They want unbans to breathe new life into a format if possible.

Eternal Weekend: They want the format to be stable for Eternal Weekend so "the bar for making changes is higher than they usually are", not a 0% chance no changes happen but they want the format to hopefully be similar between now and Eternal weekend.

Tamiyo, The One Ring, Flow State: They say it's hard to tell the difference between the cards being too strong for meta reasons vs too strong in general. They mention these cards have been up and down and that Tamiyo's playrate tends to drop as creature interaction gets better and also her meta share was worse before the [[Candelabra of Tawnos]] ban.

Mainly a One Piece player and started playing TCGs with Yu-Gi-Oh years back but I've always had a soft spot for watching Legacy content creators on YouTube cuz the format looks super fun. Unfortunately, I am broke and cannot afford RL cards, so I am looking for any card shop nearby that runs proxy friendly Legacy nights.

I will be in town for a week and have nights free, was looking to jam some games. I asked in TTD's Discord if they run Legacy anymore and the answer was no, and I felt it'd be rude to ask them if anywhere else does.

Anyone know?

Edit: TTD*; and I would play premodern there but I have cards out getting signed.
