Hey y'all, with Eternal Weekend upon us, I was looking at past weekends that my friends had played in attempting to find the archived streams on twitch or Youtube, They are no where to be found.
Anyone know if they're reposted by someone or if they're posted by CardTitan in a weird spot?
Any info greatly appreciated!
Hello fellow eternal gamers,
Please don't leave your bag in your car. Don't be the person who has their window smashed in and their multiple thousand dollar collection stolen.
Frog on, soldiers.
I'm just a Legacy enthusiast and I would love to hear everyone's predictions for Eternal Weekend US Legacy Main event. Here is mine:
Blood Moon Stompy will be over represented. 1 in t8.
UB FrogReanimate will be 40% of the meta. 3 Frog Decks in t8.
Nadu will be the 2nd highest represented.
Painter will make t8 as well.
2 High profile content creators will make t8
What is yours?
Zac and Phil provide an in-depth analysis of the upcoming Eternal Weekend, focusing on the top matchups.
How good would a vanilla creature have to be to see real play in legacy?
3 mana 7/7? 2 mana 6/6? 1 mana 4/4?
I'd love to hear thoughts and ideas!
For you, what bans or unbans or combinations thereof would rekindle your interest in Legacy?
For me personally, I'd need to see Frog, some part of the Reanimator shell, Fleshraker, Nadu, the One Ring and Vexing Bauble on the banned list before I give the format any hope of improving. But my interest would be piqued by a Survival unban also.
If you disagree, thats totally cool.
If you agree, please consider signing the below linked petition. I know its futile, but imo, it feels better to try and fail than not trying at all.
Thank you.
I'm planning on traveling to Spain this winter and just wanted to check which cities have an active legacy community and if anyone knows any bigger planned events?
Hi, Iβm new to legacy. I live around the area in the title and I want to find a place that is proxy friendly because I am broke, lol. Is that possible or will I just have to make my own group?
Hey there, sorry for my maybe noobie questions but we need clearness. (And my grammar may also not be too good cause im nit a foreign speakerβ¦)
Sooo a friend of mine and myself like playing the advanced preconstructed decks from the past (<1998)
Situation 1: Player A with migraine-deck have in play: -megrim (causes live-loss when enemy discards) -anvil if bogardan (drawing 2 cards - discarding 1)
Player B with The Plague-deck in play: -voice of grace (prot. from black) Enchanted with pariah (damage to player b redirected to enchanted creature)
My guess: player B is invincible as long as he doesnt run out of cards OR/AND the enchantment is destroyed because voice of grace has protection from black and megrim is the color black -> so the source cant damage the creature.
Situation 2: Player A has in play: Like beforeβ¦.
Player B has in play: -worship
My guess: player b is invincible as long as worship is in play and he has a creature of course OR he runs out of cards.
Situation 3: Player A has in play: Like beforeβ¦. Not important in this scenario
Player B has in play: -pestilence (damages everything when you pay mana, black card) -voice of grace (prot. from black)
My guess: when player b activates pestilence he is damaged by the card itself, as well as everything else, except the voice of grace card.
Maybe you can help us :) Thanks in advance ;)
I just feel like they've gotten so much worse over time. You can point specifically in both
Modern: twin and pod
Legacy: top and deathrite
Why is it after these bands both of the formats became shit shows? Yeah there's still "diversity" but instead of different interactive decks with the occasional storm, reanimator, sneak and show, combo
Now the top of the fields are both oppressive garbage.
Imagine if you told a magic players in 2014 that belcher and doomsday are going to be tier1 decks

I wanted to try another take of mine into the Leagues with Mono Black Pox and with the release of Foundations, there was Bloodthirsty Conquerer that caught my eye, this is because I wanted a card I could use with Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, that can also potentially run away with games, I didnβt want to do it with Vein Ripper because thereβs a big difference between 5 and 6 mana in Legacy. The 5 mana is realistically castable with 4 Rituals, 2 Ancient Tomb, and 27 Lands, you cannot depend on Sorin all the time for cheating him into play.
There has been a few Pox players trying to break Ancient Tomb into Pox, the Karnβs alone from my experience were not enough as you hindered Poxβs grind game which is what itβs suppose to be good at while also not having enough pay offs for Ancient Tomb to be that good. In this list it felt a lot better, the Ancient Tombs led to the occasional turn two Sorin or the creatures from my sideboard and saga that go well with it too. Unlike the usual Karn Pox deck where Ancient Tomb didnβt feel good in, this one it was better because it has more free wins to utilize off it so the life loss doesnβt matter.
There has been 9-5ers with $75k and up yearly salaries and people of all other financial statuses asking me what I felt about Bloodghast and I think the card is bad as a stand-alone card given modern day power creep, but when you use it with cards like Sorin it becomes much better and keeps my Vampire count reasonable for the 4 Sorins because you can also count the Mutavaults as Vampires.
There is likely a better version of this deck that doesnβt use Smallpox, but Smallpox at least has synergy here. This deck is early in testing so itβs too soon to know if this qualifies as a real variant of Pox. There is certainly some weaknesses as in Sorin is so nothing with no creatures and that I had to sacrifice some of Poxβs removal and discard to fit everything in.
Another interesting option would be to cut the two Karns for two one rings, but I donβt have those on MTGO, you can utilize all that card draw to piece together the Sorin combo more effectively if you do not win the first time off it.
I'm looking to get the playmat for my son and get it signed. He just got into the game and legacy so I don't think doing the full event would be a good idea for him this year. He is a huge fan of the frog so I want to get one for him and get it signed.
Do you have to enter the main event to get the playmat or can you buy one on site?

New video of some wheel stompy in legacy. Seeing if MH3 gave the deck enough new tools to be competitive in the new meta. Is stripping our opponents of cards and locking them out of the game a viable strategy in the current meta? Watch and find out!
Video is a bit off schedule as the next few might be due to my work schedule this month. As always thanks for watching and for any feed back
Zac and Phil delve into the latest Magic: The Gathering set, Foundations. They discuss the new cards like Kaito and Sphinx of Forgotten Lore, and the impact of Orcish Bowmasters on the current meta.
