Last-Minute ETERNAL WEEKEND Techs – Don’t Fall For These! | EP.158 Nov 13, 2023

The last week leading up to Eternal Weekend has seen a TON of new tech coming out of the woodwork, and we’re here to share it! Decks, techs, as well as important strategies to approach some of the most important matchups in the format, we’re all about it in this last-minute briefing for your Eternal Weekend EU! In the first half of the cast, we also go over a couple of Top8s and tournament wins we recently got, and work our way into the general metagame from there. Also, Callum almost drowned in a cave in Wales of all places!

The Best Deck MTGGodlfish Doesn’t Want You To See | EP.157 Oct 27, 2023

While Julian seems to be stuck in a slump, and Kai Top8s another tournament, Callum tests the physical boundaries of the format: born a meme, (almost) living the dream after a 4-1’ing a Legacy league, 14-Beanstalk Cascade is his new weapon of choice that turned out to be much stronger than expected. Grab the decklist below and find out whether Ardent Plea is right for you.

We also find out why all of us, and we mean ALL OF US, are resolving mulligans incorrectly, and why Julian thinks the rules might actually want to be changed because of it. Oh, and did you know that MTG Goldifsh actively hides one of the very top-performing Legacy decks from ever appearing on their website? This and much more on today’s show!

ASK YOURSELF: Is Your Body Ready For Soul Cauldron? | EP.156 Oct 10, 2023

Kai just right onto the cast after a devastating run in his last league, and the rest of the hosts to what they were trained to in the face of such inadequacy. With that out of the way, we look at specifically why RUG Delver has been one of the most popular homes of Up the Beanstalk lately, and why we just can’t get enough of that Canadian Threshold vibe in Legacy. Callum then unleashes the beast that is various, nefarious flavors of Agatha’s Soul Cauldron and why your body needs to be ready for Phyrexian Devourer’s scheduled, once-every-5-years hot week in the format!

Welcome to SEASON 2 of Everyday Eternal! Callum, Kai & Julian look back at the madness that was the very first Legacy Grand Prix ever.

Why Kai Daze’d His Doomsday In Italy | EP.154 Sep 12, 2023

4Seasons Bologna is the cathedral of eternal Magic, where we practice our religion called Legacy. Returning from our third pilgrimage, the crew reflects on what was a very different experience this time around: all three of us were doing commentary during the European Legacy Masters, skipping Saturday’s big side event for it…mostly, as Callum the madman was actually juggling both roles. Tune in for many stories of railbirded Win-and-In matches, and find out how UB Scam massively underperformed, and which flavors of 4c Control were dominating the top tables, along with some sweet Artifact spice!

MIND’S DESIRE is unbanned & WINNING! | EP.152 Aug 08, 2023

QUICK GET IN THE CAR, MIND’S DESIRE HAS BEEN UNBANNED IN LEGACY!

As the news hit on our way back home from work, Kai, Callum & I immediately jumped into a call to record our thoughts about one of the most exciting unban in years! Not only is Mind’s Desire one of the most epic cards in the history of the game – it also sets a new precedent for WotC being willing to touch cards that were once considered un-unbanable. We touch on different ways to build the deck, look back at the Legacy UNCHAINED Series from 2019 (during which Mind’s desire got some action!), and cast our votes where we see the card in 6 months.

In the second half of the show, we highlight Mississippi River winning the most recent Saturday Legacy Challenge in the hands of Sean Goddard, and why that deck is causing so much frustration (or pure joy) among players right now. Oh, and SHRAPNEL BLAST is back too. We’re living through some wild times right now, and I’m loving it!

Bonus Content: right as the show ended, we found Martin ‘Nevilshute’ Nielsen’s first draft of a Mind’s Desire deck that he went 4-1 with in a league. Check it out at twitter.com/MartinFSNielsen/status/1688650552358400001

00:00:00 Quick Note from Julian
00:05:00 Mind’s Desire is unbanned!
01:03:15 Mississippi River keeps winning!
01:13:35 SHRAPNEL BLAST is back in the format!

WE WENT TO SPAIN! – feat. runkor | EP.151 Jul 24, 2023

With Callum currently rocking out on a burning boat in Eastern Europe, Kai & Julian invite Iñigo ‘runkor’ Villamor onto the show, to look back at their adventures at IMPACT Returns in Spain earlier this month. There, in the very north-western reaches of the country in Galicia, the IMPACT crew had (thus far) rather secretly built the second-biggest recurring Legacy of Europe. We look back at their history which reaches back over a decade to a bunch of guys inside a bar, all the way to the big Legacy+Modern events that are hosting now.

Starting this year, Impact is now reaching out beyond the Spanish borders, attracting players from the rest of the continent. As coverage was being switched to English, they brought in Kai & Julian as commentators for both the Spanish Legacy Champs on Friday and the Main Event on Saturday.

We look back at a weekend fueled with just the best of Spanish Legacy, people, cuisine, and beaches! If you’re gonna miss an episode, don’t let it be this one!

Take A Bow, Legacy | EP.150 Jul 01, 2023

Callum, Kai & Julian gather for a first assessment of the damage Orcish Bowmasters & Friends have done, and are happy they actually brought up a card last episode that Callum completely underestimated. With tons of high-stake events in the books, we take a look at which new cards have actually made an impact, and discuss our feelings about Bowmasters after getting a couple of games in with them. In the second part of the show, we take a look at the results of NRG Chicagoland, SCG Baltimore, and a couple other events. Julian is especially excited about the Creative Technique ("Mississippi River") Cascade deck they managed to camera in round 2 of NRG Chicagoland...that just barely missed the Top8 in the end. 00:00:00 Callum was David Hasselhoff when he was a kid 00:07:30 How good are the new cards ACTUALLY? 00:37:00 So Many Event Results Mississippi River Thread on The Source NRG $5k Chicagoland Results SCG Con $10k Baltimore Manatraders Event Legacy Challenge, 17th June Legacy Challenge, 18th June Legacy Challenge, 24th June Legacy Challenge, 25th June Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Legacy is Back in Black & Callum’s New Painter | EP.149 Jun 17, 2023

Have you ever confused a random warhorse for the most glorious king of Rohan? Happens to the best of us. As yet another episode's script is short-notice altered by Callum crushing a tournament (with an altered version of Painter), the crew comes together to reivew Kai's special appearance at the BOTTROP series in, well, BOTTROP and why people paid money to wrestle with him. Also find out why Orcish Bowmasters is about to give Legacy the Wrenn and Six treatment, and completely wrap for the time to come...we believe. To round things out we highlight the results of yet another 300+ player 4Seasons in Bologna, as well as the 100+ players German Legacy Championship - the first one to take place in 12 years! 00:00:00 Kai @ BOTTROP Series 00:15:30 Callum CRUSHES with new Painter 00:36:00 Forth Eorlingas...is gas?!

Ten years ago, four guys came together to found what would eventually turn out to be the longest-running Legacy podcast out there. Fast forward a decade, and Everyday Eternal is still going strong, with bi-weekly episodes, questionable takes, and three clowns joined by a dentist to celebrate their tenth anniversary!

To Staff Or Not To Staff – feat. Marcus ‘iwouldliketorespond’ Ewaldh | EP.147 May 31, 2023

Famed Swedish Legacy Control mage Marcus 'iwouldliketorespond' Ewaldh joins the cast tonight. Together we go deep on his very low-to-the-ground Jeskai Staff list which he's been Top8'ing Legacy Challenges left and right with recently. Marcus prefers an incredibly streamlined approach with no end-game payoffs but balances this out by employing 4 copies of Urza's Saga. This is contrasted by Angelo "wiky" Cadei's Jeskai Staff-less list that heavily leans on endgame Planeswalkers, Shark Typhoon, and Day's Undoing. Going further we also look into an entirely new and unique take on Legacy Control that Phil Bleckman started pushing recently, which gives Julian severe Cunning Wish Landstill flashbacks. 00:00:00 Marcus, what is Control? 00:17:00 Marcus' Jeskai Decklist 00:37:30 The Cadei School of Jeskai 00:46:50 Phil Blechman's Lessons deck 00:57:50 Triumph of Saint Katherine 01:30:20 Dredge is back! 01:32:00 Which Modern shells could work in Legacy?

What's better than Europe & Asia? Australia, obviously. On today's show Kai, Callum & Julian are joined by none other than Lee Hung Nguyen aka 1MrLee, who is currently hiding from the law in Berlin, of all the places. Anarcho-Kai has given him shelter for the night, as 1MrLee joins the cast for a special guest appearance.

The 22nd God of Legacy | EP.145 Apr 29, 2023

God is dead. Slain by a mortal, ready to ascend to newfound divinity. For the 22nd time, Japan crowns a God of Legacy, and Kai has all the coverage, background info, and some of the most mind-blowing tech for us. Another big announcement: Kai & Julian will be the *live* on-site commentary duo for Spain's biggest Legacy event of the year: IMPACT Returns in Galicia from the 7th to the 9th of July! With the title of the Spanish National Champion, an even bigger Legacy event on Saturday AND 4 European Legacy Masters slots on the line, we're looking forward to many old & new faces joining us this summer! 00:00:00 Kai Accidentally Burns €1.5k 00:11:00 The EDH Lawsuit ?! 00:18:30 We're going to ESPAÑA! 00:30:45 UW(r) Midrange with 4 Faerie Mastermind 00:37:30 The 22nd God of Legacy Sign-Up for IMPACT Returns!

Our Legacy 3×3 | EP.144 Apr 13, 2023

With the metagame slowly settling into place, Kai, Callum, and Julian publish their Legacy 3x3 as it stands today: each one of them ranks their Top3 Aggor, Control, and Combo decks in the format as it exists today - until we realize that one of them completely misunderstood the assignment...and wants to bring Dredge back?! We also take a look at two spicy decks that recently made waves in the format: HankTheObese's BW Arena Rector, and Killabee's new version of Riddlesmith. 00:00:00 Easter in Japan?! 00:27:00 Spice, Spice, Baby! 00:44:00 Julian's 3x3 01:13:20 Callum's 3x3 01:24:20 Kai's 3x3 Et Cetera April Top8 Decklists HankTheObese's Arena Rector Killabee's Riddlesmith The Japanese UG 8Cast Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Get Ready For UW Staff Control | EP.143 Mar 28, 2023

Julian takes Painter to the final of the Legacy Challenge, with a list from Callum's Monkey School of deckbuilding. Why were there 4 Thorn of Amethyst, even though Julian expected no Storm to show up? And is Staff of the Storyteller the future of UW Control in Legacy? Also, is this the year Humility finally spikes?

Ban & Ban It Goes, Where It Stops Nobody Knows | EP.142 Mar 17, 2023

With White Plume Adventurer & Expressive Iterration finally put to rest, Kai, Callum & Julian reflect on the first week of post-ban Legacy. Has RG Initiative lived up to the hype, and how will Delver compensate on both tactical and strategic levels? Two of our heroes look back at their first Legacy Challenge results in this wide-open™ new format, and discuss why Kai's fears of Predict are probably unwarranted. In the first half of the show, we also look back at yet another outstandingly-well-run 4Seasons event in Bologna, in which Everyday Eternal Top8'ed the Team Tournament...after which Callum got lost somewhere in Europe, while Kai joined the Bologna Nerd Club in some remote underground garage. Julian just played Legacy, he is boring. 00:08:30 — Callum's Odyssee across Europe 00:21:50 — 4Seasons Event Review 00:36:30 — We Top8'ed 4 Seasons! 01:14:40 — Thought on the Bans 01:30:30 — Callum Was WRONG 01:49:30 — Callum Bets On This Dinosaur March 6, 2023 BANNED AND RESTRICTED ANNOUNCEMENT 4Seasons Winter 2023, Top8 Decklists Post-Ban Legacy Challenge, Saturday Decklists Post-Ban Legacy Challenge, Sunday Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

WE’RE GOING TO ITALY…again! | EP.141 Feb 28, 2023

While Kai still tries to resolve his identity crisis by adding Expressive Iteration to every deck under the sun, Callum considers bringing back old faithful for 4Seasons Vintage. Because who doesn't remember Goblin Welder's reign of terror back in the day? Meanwhile Julian actually got to ONLY NOW play with Chaos Defiler in a real tournament, as he Top8s Et Cetera Freising. In the second half of the show, we cover all the recent developments in Legacy, as the community heads into yet another massive 4Seasons in Bologna this weekend. We also go about which decks we are going to play in the event(s), and why Doomsday has given Kai so much brain damage, he is no longer able to properly play it on consecutive days. What a noob. Favourite story of the day: Callum's played a deck that terrible at his last event, even the judges suggested he should make some changes - and made a special ruling to allow him to do so. 00:00:35 — Kai Gets Misdirected 00:19:05 — Callum Goes To War 00:28:35 — Julian Top8s Et Cetera 00:41:35 — Viable Budget Decks? 00:49:35 — Callum's Judge Call 00:56:25 — The State of Legacy & New/Rediscovered Cards 01:16:45 — Snuff Out, Atraxa, Spelldance & More Our 4Seasons Travel Vlog Legacy Data Collection - Metagame Report 2023 DNSolver's 8Cast Painter Johannes Gutbrod's Jeskai Tokens Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Kai BLACKLISTS Germany | EP.140 Feb 22, 2023

With Julian's journey coming to an end, the entire crew regroups back home again to as Kai rolls out his new economic masterplan: forget #MengucciFinance - this is Sawatarix Economics, and it's here to stay. Somehow the failing Callum and Julian remain unconvinced in the face of Kai's economic genius, but surely our listeners will be able to appreciate our co-host's brilliant business savviness. While Kai has been preparing for the unquestionable riches that are about to come his way, Callum has been slinging some cards in Birmingham's GREAT HALL at the Axion MEGA Legacy event! Seriously, every tournament needs to be held inside nothing less than a GREAT HALL. Accept no less, and check out how even Callum spins out of control as as the team tries to understand how many Painter variants have now been released into the wild - and how new ones are popping up quicker than we can name them. 00:00:00 — Catching up & Cephalid Breakfast 00:20:00 — Callum @ Axion's MEGA Weekend 00:45:30 — Julian's Trade Fair Story 00:54:30 — Kai's Opponent did WHAT?!

ULTIMATE Banlist Review Episode | EP.139 Jan 31, 2023

With Julian still on the run, the boys review the entire Legacy banlist card-by-card, wondering how each one compares to the current standards of Legacy. For a hot 2 minutes, Julian thinks Mana Vault could get unbanned before his fever wears off. What starts out as a quick evaluation of some of the more broken cards quickly develops into how they would/could/should be used in 2023 Legacy. Apparently one of them completely breaks Hedron Crab. Tune in for a dynamic yet laid-back episode of shooting the shit. Basically, an escape from the interregnum state of Legacy as everyone waits for something to happen. 00:10:30 — Unban Context 00:15:00 — Banlist Review 02:06:20 — What Motivates Unbans in 2023?

Kai’s 3 Rules About Japan & Julian Wins Et Cetera | EP.138 Jan 24, 2023

Kai is finally back from Japan. Did he win the God of Legacy event? No. Does he share his three golden rules about how to make your trip to the land of the rising sun the most enjoyable it could be? Allegedly. Listener caution advised. All we know is that ChatGPT will most certainly do a better job judging your next event than Kai did in his first (and last) appearance as a judge. Catch Me If You Can: Tokyo Drift. In the second half of the show we cover Julian's victory in the Et Cetera Invitational and listen to Callum making the case for...

Let's send off 2022 in style, looking back at yet another turbulent year of Legacy all around the world.

Dungeon Stompy & Casting from Kenya! | EP.135 Nov 30, 2022

Julian jumps from a ship and swims ashore to eat the famous island grass. Is this the first Legacy podcast recorded in Africa? Julian calls in from Kenya, while Callum steals someone else's WiFi to tune in on the day he moved into a new apartment. This leaves this episode with KAI as the most professional member of the cast. Enter at your own risk. I'm editing this episode during a 16-hour stint at home, right after returning from Kenya, and before leaving for Bologna tomorrow at 6am. If this is your first time experiencing the Everday Eternal: you picked the worst episode - or maybe, just maybe: the very best. Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show! Until next time, Julian

British Brews & Callum’s Top8 – feat. Andy Fernandes | EP.134 Nov 10, 2022

Callum & Julian invite a short-notice guest to the cast, as Berlin keeps taking its toll on Kai. Joined by last month's AXION MEGA Legacy Winner Andy Fernandes, we deconstruct the hottest new deck in town, Naya Stompy, as well as his actual favourite deck, RG Valakut. In the second half of the show, we go over Callum's insane run in both Challenges, going 13-0 across both Swiss. Of course, he immediately loses to UR Delver in the Quarters.

Axion Tournament Recap & Rise of Naya Stompy | EP.133 Oct 28, 2022

With a foreword about Jordan Aisaka The previous weekend, England's Axion Now hosted one of the big non-GP tournaments the UK has ever seen: The Gathering offered the two so-called MEGA LEGACY events, each attracting 100+ players. Everyday Eternal was represented by our professional painter pilot Callum, who managed to navigate his way to two Top16 finishes with Painter. Both Legacy Top8s of the weekend featured some super interesting decks: one a huge blast from the Wilson-Hunter-past of the format and a way to stomp people with Courser of Cruphix - while the other saw the breakout of NAYA STOMPY. Listen to Julian grow from immediately wanting to replace one of the cards in it, to actually ordering a playset before the end of the episode. Oh, and Sticker Goblins makes its first premier-ish level Top8. And Doomsday for 4 Triumph of Saint Katherine gets cast. In the second half of the cast, we also go over the surprisingly short-notice announcement of the 2022 Eternal Weekends, our team composition for the upcoming 4Seasons championship, and answer your listener questions. 00:04:50 — Kai’s Homestory Cup 00:18:50 — Callum’s Axion Experience 00:38:30 — Top8 Decklists 00:55:15 — Naya Stompy takes it down! 01:25:50 — Team Trios 4Seasons 01:51:15 — Eternal Weekend is ON!

WotC REPRINTS* Black Lotus | EP.132 Oct 06, 2022

"Back in the old days at Wizards of the Coast, we used to joke about how cravenly greedy it would be to release cards that you could only get with a high purchase price, like only available in a booster box etc. We often said that if we did that it was because we were out of ideas and the grasping suits had totally taken over. Then we would laugh because we would never allow that to happen. We called them 'chase' cards and we knew their single purpose was to squeeze even more money out of obsessed players. Even back then we understood 100% that it was in effect taking advantage of people with certain mental disorders and that it was the wrong thing to do. We knew that many players would see it for what it was, a sign of a total loss of respect for our players all for a pathetic short-term gain. Those cards would have been aimed squarely at benefiting shareholders, not to benefit the players. It would have been disgusting. That is why we never did it, though it was discussed." - Jesper Myrfors, first MtG Art Director (2018) 00:00:00 — Transnistria Safari When? 00:17:00 — Phyrexian Dragon Engine 00:22:45 — Quick Questions 00:33:00 — 30th Anniversary of Whale Hunting 01:06:00 — Premodern: European Championships 01:21:40 — The Legacy Pit Open II 30th Anniversary Celebration 30th Anniversary Edition European Premodern Championship Decklist Premodern Magic The Legacy Pit Open II Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Winning the Showcase Challenge with Sheoldred – feat. Maxtortion | EP.131 Sep 30, 2022

In an impromptu attempt at amateur science, the crew looks into the effect of pouring a bottle of wine over your keyboard. The results will SHOCK you, as one of us soon gets relegated to a literal casting couch for the rest of the podcast. Oh, and there's Max Gilmore too, who actually CRUSHED the quarterly Legacy Showcase Challenge on Magic Online with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Never since the days of Juzám Djinn has a black four-drop creature ruled the tables again, so we're all excited to find out more about it. Oh, and Max happily calls Anuraag Das' bet. Further down the cast, Kai and Max start arguing over the implied equity of making a second "backup" child, and why you should never ask someone out for a date twice...or should you? 00:19:55 — The Big Wine Spilling of 2022 00:31:55 — Max calls Anuraag's bet 00:43:15 — Second Oracle & Other Choices 01:05:15 — Upcoming Changes to Doomsday 01:11:30 — BLACK DINOSAUR STOMPY rulez! 01:19:45 — GR Minsc & Boo Stompy is here and horny! 01:33:35 — Everyone's favourite 2-card-combos Max Gilmore's Twitter Max Gilmore's Doomsday SB Map Legacy Showcase Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Your Pet Card Sucks – with xJCloud | EP.130 Sep 14, 2022

It's a full house today, as the entire crew is joined by famed sky noodle expert John Ryan 'xJCloud' Hamilton. xJ recently relocated his desires into the realms of Dragon Stompy, and used his dark powers to once again almost take down a Legacy SuperPTQ. Nevertheless, his 2nd place finish was good enough to qualify him for the Pro Tour (or whatever the cool kids call it these days). We invited xJ to give us his take on how to build the deck, what the common pitfalls in deck construction are - and answer a whole bunch of questions from our Discord & Twitter. We also showcase a couple of interesting lists from the SuperPTQ, and mock Kai for losing Flying. 00:00:00 — Kai Sawatari loses Flying 00:12:15 — xJCloud Top2's the SuperPTQ 00:25:00 — Decklist Review 01:08:00 — Other lists from the SuperPTQ A Guide To Moon Stompy Deckbuilding - by xJCloud xJCloud's Twitter xJCloud's Dragon Stompy list BR Knights in Legacy BR Knights VOD 5-0 Leaf-Crowned Visionary Elves from the SuperPTQ GWb Enchantress from the SuperPTQ Kai Ranks Legacy decks videos Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Play Every Event For Free with This 1 Little Trick | EP.127 Jul 27, 2022

If there's one country that knows what it takes to flavour the shit out of a tournament, it is Japan, where earlier this month, the 20th all-Japanese GOD of Legacy was crowned. However, similar to the Chess World Championship, one does not simply ascend to divinity but instead has to battle their way through a candidates tournament, in order to earn the right to challenge the reigning GOD of Legacy. What sounds like an anime plot is the reality that Legacy players in Japan are living every quarter of the year. In today's episode, the boys browse through the innovation to come out of the candidates' tournament, and the psychology of whether or not you would dare to metagame against a deity. Oh, and Painter wins another big tournament. Tune in to learn more, and finally solve the age-old question of where the North of England actually starts! 00:28:34 — You get a Sticker, you get a Sticker, and YOU get a Sticker! 00:39:24 — 20th GOD of Legacy Tournament Japan 01:39:34 — Painter wins the Legacy Challenge 20th GOD of Legacy Event Website Top8 Decklists - God of Legacy Top16 Decklists - God of Legacy Video Coverage - God of Legacy GOD-DECIDING Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decklists, 24th July 22 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Kai returns from his attempted raid of the Viking coasts of Scandinavia. Did he finally end up touching Andrea Mengucci at Tier1CON in Malmö?

USA, Kenya & Kai Wins EtCetera Legacy | EP.124 Jun 23, 2022

Today's episode is mostly travel stories from around the world: Callum just returned from his band's month-long tour of the American Midwest and East Coast, where he picked up, among other things, an 18-inch machete at Walmart, and played in front of some of the biggest audiences ever...yet! Julian meanwhile declined an absolute bargain on a Maasai-knife in Kenya, where he spent the last three weeks working from a hammock above a lagoon. And Kai does, what Kai does best: destroying people with Doomsday, at the legendary Et Cetera Legacy tournament in Freising.

The Legacy Showcase Challenge flipped the metagame on its head: an all-creature Sliver deck, the latest iteration of Goblins, a TON of turbo-charged Goblin decks - and in the middle of the madness, Javier Dominguez driving his Esper Yorion Cephalid Breakfast car around the arena.

With the format busy discussing Delver, Lands in the hands of Matt Brown has decided to completely wreck the metagame and win two of the February Legacy Challenges.

We Are Scared of This Turtle! | EP.118 Feb 12, 2022

Legacy developers are currently working in full overdrive, creating fast-combo decks out of removal spells, and conducting ethically questionable experiments trying to merge two or more decks into one. Callum, Matt & Julian dive into the madness and uncover a hidden gem that had been lurking around the format for a while, before having its breakout result rather recently. The crew also explores the uses of it in especially UB "Tempo" Doomsday and why Temporal Mastery is now the most playable Miracle spell in Legacy. In the second half of the cast, we go over the most playable cards in Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, and why Kappa Cannoneer is actually the scariest cards of the entire set! 00:04:34 — Malevolent Hermit 00:13:00 — Next Level Doomsday 00:27:55 — Julian's Favourite Mindgame 00:32:45 — Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Spoilers 00:57:05 — The Most Hyped Card 01:08:00 — Swift Reconfiguration COMBO 01:17:45 — "This card is fucking scary" 01:26:55 — Listener Questions Jax' Swift Reconfiguration Combo Deck Mopoanda DESTROYING with Turtle MinMaxBlog Article about UB Tempo Doomsday Kamikaga Neon Dynasty Spoilers Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Have You Seen This Monkey? | EP.117 Jan 27, 2022

Ragavan has been banned. Our sweet prince of Legacy, beloved by many and revered by even more, is no more. Wizards of the Coast has taken action, and our simian sidekick will speak, see or do no evil anymore. But as a wise man once said: don't be sad it's over - be glad it happened. In this spirit, Callum and Julian analyze WotC's stated reason for banning the monkey, and why this B&R announcement has already pathed the way for the following one "soon" after. We also take a look at the state of the format we're now just entered, and which decks as well as card choices will constitute the upper tier of Legacy moving forward. In the first part of the episode, we also look at Starcitygames' paradigm shift in content policy, and why it's a real watershed moment for the way content creation will happen be accessible in the future - for ALL of Magic! 00:13:24 — SCG Content Policy Revolution 00:27:29 — Legacy Challenge Change 00:28:51 — Ragavan Be Gone 00:41:14 — WotC: Classic Staples Less Likely to Be Banned 00:50:39 — EW Data Inconclusive & Favourite Raga Moments 01:03:19 — This Is What Legacy Will Now Look Like 01:14:54 — How To Actually Enjoy Yourself Callum's Aggro Painter Banned & Restricted Announcement, 25th Jan 2022 4-1 with UB Dane Mill Video SCG Announcement Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

An Intro To Modern with Andrea Mengucci | EP.116 Jan 21, 2022

After Callum had been shamelessly stood up by our scheduled guest, Queen Elizabeth II of England, we instead invited the ONE and ONLY Andrea Mengucci of Italy to save the day and introduce us to the current state of Modern! The format has recently gotten tons of praise following the release of Modern Horizons 2, with some voices even comparing it to the “Golden Age” of Legacy. After checking with our Patreon Discord, our supporters were overwhelmingly in favour of dedicating an episode to learning all there is to know about why Modern is such an amazing experience right now, so here we are! This episode is especially for those who want to make their way into the format or want to understand it from the point of view of one of Magic’s greatest players & personalities. Andrea’s passion for both Magic and Modern in particular really shows throughout the episode, and we’re super excited to follow him into the mystical wonderland that is Modern right now. 00:02:02 — Legacy UW Spirits Mini Primer 00:14:00 — Andrea Explains Italy 00:27:54 — Pauper Format Panel..for Legacy? 00:35:55 — What Makes Modern So Great Today? 00:47:35 — Strategic Constraints of Modern 01:18:30 — 9 Of The Most Popular Modern Decks 02:09:50 — What Would Andrea Play in a Big Event? 02:18:25 — 5 More Listener Questions Andrea Menguccis’s Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | IG | CFB Articles Callum’s Legacy UW Spirits Pauper Panel Announcement Reid Duke’s Modern Power Ranking Bryant Cook’s Twiddle Storm Thanks a lot for tuning into today’s show!

Julian Almost Goes To The Pro Tour | EP.115 Dec 30, 2021

For the final episode of the year, the full triforce assembles once again, as we get military clearance to have Matt back on the cast. In the first part of today's show, we try to stay on the topic of Julian almost qualifying for the Pro Tour through the Legacy Showcase Qualifier, playing the weirdest version of Elves to date, but the conversation escalates the most absurd discussion of the year..thus far. Once things get back on track we dive deeper into one of the highest-profile/stakes event of the year, as Callum rediscovers his desire to crush the MTGO meta. Someone brings up Siege Rhino. For the second half of the cast, we discover the three of the biggest news items in Legacy and/or Magic as a whole. The one that completely blindsided everyone surely was Wizards of the Coast selling(?) MTGO and everything that comes with it to Daybreak Games - a company both famous for killing off dying games BUT ALSO rejuvenating games stuck in a dead-end. Only time will tell where MTGO will be headed under their leadership, but Julian has a revolutionary idea of what this might actually mean for the MTGO economy. We also cover all the upcoming big Paper events, and why everybody's favourite lazy Sunday afternoon activity is about to come back. 00:04:50 — Julians Top4's the Showcase Qualifier with Elves 00:13:35 — Stupidest Discussion of the entire Year 00:18:35 — The Allegory of the Stones 00:22:10 — We finally talk about the Showcase Qualifier 00:37:15 — Julian ALMOST Q'ed for the Pro Tour! 00:42:05 — No Quirion Ranger AND no Nettle Sentinel?! 00:44:45 — WotC parts ways with Magic Online, WUT?! 01:01:35 — NRG & SCG Tournaments Announced 01:09:05 — The Impact of Alchemy Showcase Challenge Top24 Decklists Julian's Elves List Kanister's BR Reanimator List NRG Series Announcement NRS Series Championship - Bo5 Format Explained SCG Tournaments Announcement Daybreak Games Takes Over MTGO What is Alchemy?

Winning Eternal Weekend & The State of Legacy | EP.114 Dec 18, 2021

Alex 'Vivarus' McKinley joins Callum & Julian to celebrate his recent win in the Eternal Weekend Vintage Mox Emerald Championship. Alex and his crew applied specific principles to constructing the Grixis Tinker Breach list that guided him all the way to the trophy, and we promise only 90% of it is gonna about playing the most broken card they could find. Is Preordain secretly the best still unrestricted spell in Vintage? In the second part of the show we take a look at Legacy, and its pathological addiction towards adding more colours to decks - and getting away with it! Especially the most recent Challenges & the NRG Series have driven this trend up another notch. However, unlike during previous Blue Soup Seasons, there's a noticeable trend towards loading up on Wastelands and Life From the Loams, instead of adding a 5th colour. Seriously, what happened to everybody's favourite trend of 5c Blood Moon? Towards the end Julian is interested in bringing back an old classic, but Callum is just dead inside :-( 00:10:47 — Alex McKinley & Grixis Tinker Breach 00:24:37 — Secret Keyword: "Awesome" 00:25:57 — Alex' Rundown of his EW Vintage Win 00:49:02 — LQ: What are you general thoughts on Vintage & MH2 in it? 00:51:57 — LQ: "Will you come to my FNM?" 00:55:02 — LQ: How did you prepare for EW and what do you do differently? 00:56:07 — Arrogance vs Confidence 01:02:42 — LQ: What other events do you want to win? 01:05:26 — Callum's love affair with Modern 01:10:45 — LQ: What will you do with the Mox Emerald Painting? 01:12:57 — Legacy decks that excite us & do well right now 01:35:16 — ANT's slow resurgence & how it compares to TES 01:39:00 — Witherbloom Command, Pernicious Deed & other pipedreams Eternal Weekend Vintage - Mox Emerald Top16 Decklists Alex McKingley's Twitter TheEpicStorm.com - Find Alex' articles & videos Legacy Shwocase Challenge, December 6th - Top32 Decklists NRG Series Legacy, December 11th Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Eternal Weekend In the Books! – with Nevilshute | EP.113 Nov 26, 2021

With the three BIGGEST Legacy events of the year in the books, Callum & Julian invite Danish Doomsday deity Martin 'nevilshute' Nielsen to the cast!

Callum & Julian review the most recent big event results, making a big discovery: UR Zoomer Control is ready to take the metagame by storm! Callum has all the background info on the deck, and Julian can’t stop loving it (and got an immediate 5-0 with it after the cast.) Definitely check out this deck as one of the hottest recommendations for Eternal Weekend, and learn why you need to alter your gameplay and strategy to play the deck to the best of its capabilities.

The Joy of Painting & DQ Talk | EP.111 Oct 22, 2021

"I see a red card and I want it painted blue. I could not foresee this thing happening to you." - Mick "Painter's Servant" Jagger (1966) Callum & Julian welcome Legacy Methuselah Marius Hausmann back onto the cast to discuss a wide range of topics, starting out each one's performances in our fast-growing local Legacy events. Callum had a great run with UW Yorion Bomberman, Marius split the finals with his unique take on Painter, and Julian placed third after almost losing to Food Reanimator. Sparked by a discussion on our Discord, we then look into what people mean when they talk about the "true" Legacy metagame, and why context is so important to that rather controversial concept. Towards the middle of the show, Callum & Marius dive deep onto their different styles of Imperial Painter, while Julian is just excited he doesn't have to sacrifice City of Traitors under Blood Sun. In the second part of the show we take a look at the Top16 results of the 240-players 4Seasons event that went down last weekend in Bologna, Italy. Following a player's DQ while playing for Top8 in that event, the three of us get into a broader debate about splitting etiquette, bribery and community problems arising from it. Julian, while probably taking the harsher stance on it, still makes a point about whether the current way of handling things is still appropriate in a post-WotC-Organized-Play world. 00:07:10 — London Legacy Monthly Event Report 00:17:10 — Aalen Legacy Event Report 00:11:20 — Et Cetera Frising Legacy Event Report 00:29:40 — LQ: What is the “true” Legacy Metagame? 00:37:10 — Events actively giving out nice proxies! 00:46:40 — Imperial Painter: GIGA DEEP DIVE 00:57:20 — Callum’s vs Marius’ Painter Lists 01:24:10 — Decklist Highlights from 4Seasons Bologna 01:47:10 — DQs, Bribery & the deeper philosophy of it Et Cetera Freising, October results Eternal Series #16, Aalen London Legacy Monthly (including Callum's Bomberman list) Marius Hausmann's Painter list Callum's Painter list 4Seasons Facebook group Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Winning The Showcase! | EP.110 Sep 29, 2021

It’s common knowledge among podcasters that while a lot of your time & energy is focussed on producing content, every once in a while you have to renew your “Serious Tournament Player” membership. For Julian, his was up this month so he jumped straight into the Legacy Showcase Challenge and took it down. Easy as that, right? It helps when you have a BIG FLYING DRAGON or three on your side! Join us for this episode in which we not only recap all 11 rounds of the Showcase, but also focus on the exact style on UWr Saga Julian registered in the event. Lord Ozymandias had written one of the best guides of the year for this event, and it proved to be a most valuable asset to have while navigating through a whole bunch of Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs! Bonus: Callum has the most amazing birthday present for Julian! 🙂 00:09:50 — Let’s sell crack at the diving trade fair 00:13:20 — LQ: Who is better, DRS or Ragavan? 00:23:35 — Lord Ozymandias giveth the UWr list! 00:30:30 — R1: Grixis Shadow 00:31:25 — R2+3+4: UWr Saga 00:38:00 — R5: Sneak Show 00:39:30 — R6: Lands – TIMEOUT 00:45:35 — R7: Sneak Show vs JPA93 00:56:30 — R8: Bant Midrange 00:59:55 — QF: UR Delver 01:03:45 — SF: BR Reanimator 01:07:19 — F: UR Delver 01:30:50 — BIG Eldrazi & Landfall Zoo! 01:38:15 — Ragavan STATS Ozymandias UWr and Grixis guides Showcase Challenge Top32 Challenge with Landfall Zoo in 10th place!

New Metagame SLAYERS | EP.109 Sep 12, 2021

Legacy is EVOLVING! Ever since Modern Horizon 2 put the formats on its head once again, with Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs running the tables, players have started adapting to this new madness that is our format now. Callum & Julian look into three of the most interesting decks to pop up/back into the format: Marcus Ewaldh almost goes all the way with HIGH TIDE, an ACTUAL AFFINITY deck, and Anuraag fully embraces the degeneracy that is Neo Czech Pile! Oh, and in the end, Yorion Death & Taxes wins again. This is getting spooky, but Callum has a theory about why it just keeps taking down tournaments and why we're all guilty of still not respecting the deck enough. 00:09:52 — Julian's Maverick (mis?)adventures at his local 00:23:00 — New spicy Painter tech 00:27:05 — LQ: How do Ragavan/Saga compare to Oko? 00:32:55 — LQ: What if Companions returned? 00:38:55 — LQ: Should I ignore my horrible Delver MU? 00:48:00 — NEO CZECH PILE EVANGELION 01:01:15 — Blue AFFINITY is back! 01:08:00 — Why it is the perfect moment for HIGH TIDE to return 01:15:00 — Callum puts a HUGE target on Death & Taxes Legacy Super Qualifier Top32 Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decks Jon Finkel vs Bob Maher Worlds 2000 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Delver gets DUNKED on in the Showcase! | EP.108 Aug 27, 2021

Birthday-Brit Callum and Julian tackle a bunch of listener questions about the current state of Legacy. What's going on with UR Delver, Bant Miracles and Death & Taxes, and why THIS ONE WEIRD trick deck is probably severely underplayed. Julian also tries to explain the Magic Online Championship Series structure and fails horribly at it. Enter Callum and the key to unlock $70,000 by playing (mostly) Legacy. In the second half of the show we cover the results of the super high stakes Legacy Showcase Qualifier from the weekend, as well as the results of the last couple of Legacy Challenges. Find out why the Qualifier's most played deck only posted a 30% Winrate and what this means for deckbuilding in Legacy going forward.

Urza’s Saga is gonna ROCK your world! | EP.103 Jun 16, 2021

Modern Horizons 2 has hit the Legacy metagame like a truck. A truck everyone saw coming, running you over with TWO new incredibly powerful 1-drops for Delver, and a card that completely revitalized a former Tier3 deck to a Legacy Challenge win. Callum & Julian break down the massive changes we have seen in the format during the last two big tournaments, and what they're excited for moving forward. They also break down the most over/underhyped cards in the set judging by results thus far, and which two utility cards have already become absolute Legacy allstar mainstays. In the second part of the show we also touch on the ongoing discussion around the power level of Delver, and the idea of banning Daze. 00:08:02 — These MH2 cards have had a HUGE impact00:13:32 — AFFINITY is back, and so is MELTDOWN00:15:07 — The 3 hottest decks right now00:21:32 — Dissecting the two new Affinity strains00:26:07 — "Urza's Saga is just bonkers!"00:33:00 — Sam Black about design mistakes in MH2 & more Affinity talk00:37:57 — Biggest Winner/Loser cards after seeing them in action00:43:02 — "UR is now the Quake III Arena of Delver decks!"00:46:27 — Which archetypes have taken the biggest hit?00:51:22 — Off Topic: Julian remembers a Homeworld enchantment00:53:32 — Talking Daze00:59:02 — Julian still wants to BAN this card01:01:47 — Callum wants to UNBAN this card01:06:02 — Which cards do you wanna see brewed with?01:13:32 — What will be your first post-pandemic deck?01:16:52 — What will the 4Seasons Meta be like?01:17:32 — Callum: Germans are known for THIS deck01:19:32 — Did MH2 empower any Tier3/4 decks?

These Cards Are Gonna SMASH! | EP.102 Jun 16, 2021

Modern Horizons 2 looks to have at least just as much of an impact on Legacy as its predecessor. Thus far a ton of playable cards have been spoiled, with some of them even looking to become absolute format mainstays for years to come! Callum and Julian go over the most recent spoilers and break down 15 selected cards and how they fit into the format. We generally tried to step away from dedicated episodes of set reviews, but with Modern Horizons 2 bringing the big guns, it was more than worth it! Highlights include some of the most powerful one-drops Delver has ever seen (#eaththerich), but also a super rare triple-crossover sideboard card for green decks to take on Delver, Graveyards AND Doomsday! Even though some of those cards might turn out problematic in the format, we're excited to see them put into action. Also: Callum makes another prediction to shut down the podcast if a specific one of these cards ends up breaking the format. 00:08:45 — Ragavan, Numble Pilferer00:15:50 — Dragon's Rage Channeler00:22:25 — Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth00:28:40 — Solitude00:34:10 — Prismatic Ending00:37:30 — Sudden Edict00:42:12 — Suspend00:44:35 — Grief00:49:23 — Endurance00:54:23 — Esper Sentinel00:57:30 — Svyelun, God of Sea and Sky + Rishadan Dockhand01:06:52 — Void Mirror01:11:14 — Kaldra Compleat01:19:50 — Gaea's Will01:24:35 — Quick: Honorable Mentions http://mythicspoiler.com/ The Elves list Julian has been farming MTGO with Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!Until next time,Julian

Being A Scrub & How To Avoid It | EP.101 Jun 16, 2021

"Playing good decks gives you a feeling of growth." What makes one a scrub? And what does it even mean to be one? Callum & Julian explore the meaning of the term and why it fundamentally has nothing to do with how well you play Magic - but whether your expectations align with the amount of work you're willing to put into improvement. Becoming aware of your self-imposed rules in playing the game can both help you level up your game, but most importantly prevent frustration with plateauing. One of the most excellent resources on this topic is David Sirlin's Playing To Win - Becoming the Champion (2002) that dedicates an entire chapter (available online!) to this today's topic. In the second half of the show we discuss how both Expressive Iteration already has, and how Abundant Harvest will shape future deckbuilding in Legacy; especially the latter has the potential for a fundamental shift in how to build Midrange and Control decks. 00:05:25 — "I don't like Tier1 decks"00:12:20 — Is the "rogue advantage" worth it?00:15:00 — How do different philosophies interact?00:17:50 — Julian doesn't wanna say it00:24:40 — What it really means to be Scrub00:26:00 — The best books about competitive gaming00:34:20 — Expressive Iteration is bigger than you think00:45:13 — Abundant Harvest causing a paradigm shift01:02:10 — Callum must go to the pub "The Scrub Mentality" - from Playing to Win - Becoming the Champion, by David Sirlin, 2002 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!Until next time,Julian

Did you know that Oko was unplayable, Dreadhorce Arcanist pointless and Gyruda a horrible one-card combo?

On today's show, Callum, Matt and I discuss the pricy awesomeness that are Time Spiral Remastered old frame cards, revealing a serious tribal addiction Matt recently developed. Spoiler: it's not rhinos. We also cover Callum's work on trying to make Chain of Smog work in Legacy, while Matt of course has a completely different idea for the card.

Agency, Consistency & Other Traps | EP.97 Mar 31, 2021

"If I wanted to maximize both agency over my draws & consistency of my deck, I'd play 60 Islands" - Julian A recent discussion in the Leaving a Legacy FB group about the value of agency, consistency and specifically Sylvan Library had individually caught Matt's, Callum's and Julian's attention. Both concepts are sometimes fetishized to a non-competitive degree, without accounting for the marginal costs associated with maximizing them. In today's show, we go deep on the dynamics of the power-vs-consistency spectrum, and the external factors impacting the degree to which you should push your deck's consistency. Tying into that are our thoughts about how to avoid trapping yourself in delusions of agency over too limited a spectrum of decisions. We explore which aspects seem to be popular with players trying to maximize agency, while other less tangible and harder-o-master ones will be forgone despite yielding much larger returns. This discussion especially relates to both building & playing non-blue decks with Sylvan Library, but also teaches the general mindset of a competitive player.

Introducing Esper Mentor | EP.96 Feb 28, 2021

Callum just BULLDOZED his way through the new Legacy metagame on the past weekend. He took down both the Lotus Box Octagon as well as the Saturday Legacy Challenge with his new creation, Esper Mentor - or as Julian likes to call it, Wigan Kebab Control. It just rolls off the tongue. In today's episode we hit a deep dive into what lead Callum to picking Esper as the best shell for breaking the card of the tournament, Of One Mind. We also find out why Teferi, Time Raveler is absolutely broken with Unearth, and what filthy things the two are up to on a regular basis! Tune in to find out about one of the most refreshing, entertaining newly emerged decks of the format, as well as a summary of what else has been going on in Legacy ever since the The Good, The Bad and the Ugly were banned.

The Kings are Dead – Long Live Legacy! | EP.95 Feb 28, 2021

Monday, February 15th 2021 is going down in Legacy history. Never before have three cards been banned in Legacy ever since its creation in 2004. Callum, Matt and Julian sit down to not only discus the aftermath of the forced departure of Oko, DHA and Astrolabe, but also the significance of the reasoning provided by Wizards of the Coast. Specifically their commitment to players' desire for a format more diverse and rich in varied gameplay is a strong committment to what WotC prominently acknowledged as the 'spirit of the format.' We're incredibly excited for Legacy's doors finally swinging wide open® again and can't wait to jump into exploring this whole new world!

Ball Lighting Tribal & KLH Set Review | EP.94 Jan 31, 2021

Turn 2, Ball Lightning! Callum has used his time in quarantine to intensify his work on breaking Legacy with memes-turned-decks. This time it's a GRb Ball Lighting tribal deck that actually works much better than we'd have ever anticipated. Make sure to pack your Tundra Wolves because this one's about to become massive....until end of turn. With Kaldheim being released on Magic Online right now, and becoming available in Paper on February 5th, we cover all the cards that might see play in Legacy; as well as one particular card an astonishing amount of people have been losing their minds over. As we discuss why the card is actually horrible, Callum proposes an ambitious bet of actually eating a hat if it actually turns out to be as insane. Is that gonna be enough motivation for some of you to try and actually break it? Please let us know because we're already shorting the shit out of it!

Why Japan Gets Legacy Right – feat. Kai Sawatari | EP.93 Jan 31, 2021

Joining us today is one of enthusiastic ambassadors of the Legacy format. Kai Sawatari might not be the most visible online persona (thus far!), but not only is he one of the funniest and most relaxed guys to hang out with at tournaments, he's also an incredibly talented ANT/Doomsday pilot. Born in Japan, Kai had spent most of his life in Germany, but eventually decided to move back to Japan where he's been crushing tournaments for the past 6 years. For tonight's episode we invited him to get some of the positive energy he emits everywhere he goes on the cast, but also to learn more about one of the most fascinating Legacy scenes in the world: the Greater Tokio area. And while we all knew that Tokio is often considered the Mecca of Legacy and offers tons of ways to play Legacy every day, Kai still totally blew us away with HOW much Legacy there actually is in Japan's capital. On top of that we also explore in what ways Magic: the Gathering in Japan is such a different experience to players more used to the European/American ways. Kai paints a picture of a much more chilled out but at the top levels just as cutthroat environment, with players showing massive support to their LGS and fostering probably the greatest Legacy scene in the world! We also touch on Kai's work as an artist, and why it would have had a much better chance to be printed onto a Homelands card than on anything being released today! And just when you thought the episode was over, Callum pulls out the horror story of Wigan Kebab. Seriously, what is that?!

Paper Magic in 2021 & 2020 in Review | EP.92 Dec 31, 2020

For our final episode of the year, the whole crew of Matt, Callum and Julian comes together to take a look back at one of the most turbulent years in the history of Legacy. From one of the most broken decks that ever saw the light of day, via a card that was upon spoiler immediately called out as more broken than Black Lotus – 2020 has been an incredibly wild ride. But not for all of us! With Covid raging around the world, Paper Magic had been put on the back burner in most of the world, with many players never even getting to play a single match against some of the utter brokenness that was this year in review. We’re all incredibly excited for what’s to come in 2021. Julian in particular has a lot of thoughts about why 2021 should be the year of empowering local and especially regional Magic, as opposed to trying to force the game back into an expired Organized Play concept that doesn’t feel right for 2021 anymore. Listen to his thoughts about why WotC and 3rd party TOs should instead strengthen regional mid-sized tournaments around the world, especially during a year of rebuilding.

Exploring Rainbow Depths – with Tom Hepp | EP.91 Dec 12, 2020

It is Christmas. There is a knock on your door. You think it's Santa. As you open the door, you realize you forgot to play around Elvish Spirit Guide. You try to slam it shut but it is too late. Tom Hepp runs you over with Marit Lage. Sounds familiar? Every day dozens of people get crushed by one of Magic Online's most dangerous endbosses. Tom "Negator77" Hepp is currently sitting at a record 38 trophies in the Legacy Leagues, and continues to dominate the Magic Online meta at will. He recently unleashed Rainbow Depths onto the world, which maybe offers the highest power level relatively to its cost. Using no Reserved List cards, you can build this deck for less than $700, and probably even way less depending on what you already have. But it gets even better: Tom has put together Rainbow Depths - Total Sideboarding for us, because he doesn't just want to "send you to your death" as he puts it. If you're looking to learn from the best there is when it comes to Dark Depths, and also want to find out which member of the cast was once chased by a giant bull, this episode is for you!

How To Win Over 80% Of Your Matches – feat. Marc Eric Vogt | EP.90 Nov 25, 2020

This is an episode I've been looking forward to for a long time. Marc Eric Vogt is not only one of the very first people I got to know when I started playing Legacy ~15 years ago, I also feel overwhelmingly confident in saying that he is one of the best, if not the best Legacy player I ever met. Marc recently picked up MTGO again after an 8-year hiatus and immediately jumped to completely anihilating the competition. After two months of grinding and streaming, he is sitting at an absolutely mindblowing winrate of over 80%. He has won the AnziD Lotus Box Invitational and a Challenge, has Top8'ed another and just last weekend finished Top4 in the giant Mana Traders tournament. But what is Marc's success built on? Callum and I invited him for one of our deepest dives on how to be a winning Legacy player. This is not only (but especially) for those who want to learn the underappreciated art of Control-Fu, but also for those who want to understand game on a deeper level. Marc offers incredible advice (and some bad takes on Sauerkraut) that's gonna be invaluable to anyone looking to take their game to the next level.

Commander Legends Review + Top5 Legacy Decks | EP.89 Nov 18, 2020

Prelude: Callum hates the Monarch mechanic. Today's show starts off with a therapy session for Callum & Julian, who have both been recently exposed to the power of MINOTAURS in Legacy. Recounting how they both got destroyed by Legacy's hottest new way to break Didggerido, they dissect the deck known as Thunderbluff 3.0. After looking at a couple of recent tournament results, Julian proposes the Top 5 decks of Legacy, while Callum suggests a couple of decks that are also up there, rounding out the most likely decks you're gonna encounter in a competitive environment. Afterwards we move on to our review of Commander Legends, covering all the parts that will, might or probably won't see play. Did we mention that Callum hates the Monarch mechanic?

Vintage Vibes with Justin Gennari | EP.88 Nov 05, 2020

Joining us for a special Vintage-themed episode is Justin "IamActuallyLvL1" Gennari. Justin has made a name for himself as the premier streamer of the format, and is responsible for a ton of new blood entering the format over the last couple of month. Together we explore one of the most booming formats on Magic Online right now, as well as the over 18,000 matches that were recently analyzed by Justin and his crew of dedicated data collectors! If you've always been curious about what Vintage actually how, what the gameplay is like and how to best get into the format on Magic Online, this episode is for you! We roughly outline the major archetypes of the format, recent developments and which decks are up and coming again. We also discuss Callum's and Julian's runs in Eternal Weekend Vintage, as well as Julian's victory in the Vintage Challenge, and do a deep dive on one of Vintage's most exciting decks, Paradoxical Outcome.

Review of All 8-2 or Better EW Legacy Lists! | EP.87 Oct 22, 2020

Eternal Weekend 2020 is in the books, and with over 1,600 entrants between the three main events, this has been one of THE highlights in the 15+ year history of our beloved Legacy format. Following WotC's decision to pair entry into the format with access to (almost) ALL cards on Magic Online, one of the biggest breathes of fresh air hit the format as people rallied to enter the Karkas, Rishadan Port and Maze of Ith championships. On this episode Callum and Julian cover both the spirit and results of these three events, as they go about the Top16 of each event and some of the most interesting deckbuilding choices they can find. Garruk, Primal Hunter and Retrofitter Foundry in Snow, Ground Seal in Oops All Spells and many more things to shake up a format...that is yet still dominated by RUG Delver and 4/5c Snowko. Still, the glorious return of Death & Taxes into the limelight is one of the most positive takeaways from this weekend, and we're looking forward to how things are gonna develop. We also show you what you haven't seen on coverage yet. Following the communitiy's effort to map out all 8-2 and better lists from the vent, we bring you a much larger metagame overview than just the Top16 lists!

If You’re Blocking, You’re Losing | EP.86 Oct 14, 2020

With Matt back from his secret mission, he joins Callum and Julian for a discussion of all things Legacy (and a tiny bit of Vintage!) that have happened recently: Legacy Showcase Challenge results (including Julian's Top4 with Elves), Marc Vogt's Bant Miracles and our recommendations for both Legacy and Vintage in the upcoming Eternal Weekend Online! Speaking of which, definitely don't miss this chance to get your "god account" with (almost) all the cards in Magic! We also cover our thoughts on the recently released Secret Lair: Walking Dead, both with regards to the playability of the those cards as well as the general concept of Secret Lairs.

EPIC Weekend Results & Zendikar Rising Review | EP.85 Sep 16, 2020

There's these rare weekends where the MTGO metagame gets entirely anihialted by a single player. With JPA93 currently in an identity crisis, this task has been handed to Bryant "Bryant_Cook" Cook, who completely CRUSHED both the Legacy Super PTQ on Saturday, and the Legacy Challenge on Sunday. Callum and I go over these epic results, as well as how Hogaak might actually be the biggest threat to the currently metagame! In the second half of the show we scan the upcoming Zendikar Rising set for Legacy playables. We are pretty sure about one of the cards making a big splash in a tier1 deck, and then proceed to go over a ton of "maybes."

Eternal at 4Seasons Bologna – with Tom De Decker | EP.84 Sep 13, 2020

Joining us today is the Belgian Eternal LEGEND Tom De Decker. Tom is one of the stalwarts of the European Eternal community and a major force in promoting our beloved formats. Whether it's through providing Vintage decks for several people at an event, organizing their accommodation or providing guided tours through tournament cities, Tom is doing more for our communities than I can put into words here. Just the other week, the famous Italian tournament organizer 4Seasons hosted what we believe to be the first big Eternal event ever since Covid hit the world. In Bologna over 150 players gathered for Legacy (and a respetcable 19 for Vintage). Joining them was Tom, who's giving us a first-hand report of what it was like playing in the event - both with regards to the special Covid-precautions and how they influenced all kinds of things from shuffling to railbirding restrictions. Afterwards Callum and I take a look at the Top16 decks of the format and which kind of sweet tech made it to the top of the event!

How to Win Games and Infect People – with Sam Dams | EP.83 Aug 26, 2020

In keeping with 2020's global theme, we invited Belgian Infect aficionado Sam Dams to the show tonight. And by that we mean: there has been an overwhelming amount of requests for him through the entire year on both our Patreon Discord and Twitter. No surprise though, given how Sam has made a name for himself as arguably the most prolific Infect pilot since the heydays of Tom Ross! Together we explore this somewhat "forgotten" Legacy archetype, which Sam still considers to be one of the best decks in the format. Yet he's also the first to admit that the deck is facing new challenges; in particular WotC's power creep on creatures is causing issues for Infect. In order to combat them, Sam has decided to add another colour to the deck - as well as everyone's favourite broken Planeswalker! Towards the end of the show we answer a TON of questions submitted via our Discord and Twitter; among them some of the best strategic and of course also meme questions (thanks Tom). If you wanna pick up one of the most wrongfuly underestimated decks in the format and either kill people on turn2 or grind them into oblivion, this deck & episode are for you!

Understanding Poke Pile | EP.82 Aug 15, 2020

On today's show Callum and Julian discuss one of the hottest decks in the format: call it RUG Uro, Temur Denial or - like a cultured person - Poke Pile! Jeff "Pokemoki" White recently released this absolute beast of a deck onto the Legacy scene, and it's been putting up insanely good numbers in the hands of a lot of people. It's also one of the most controversial and misunderstood decks right now, primarily because of its strategically unorthodox use of Stifle. Callum and Julian explore what makes the deck's use of Stifle so special, and why thinking of this deck as "Deverless Delver" might be misleading. They're discussing a potential resurgence of Bant Miracles, as Legacy dreadnought StefanoGs has re-entered the format!

Shark Control & Legacy Deckbuilding | EP.81 Jul 30, 2020

On today's show, Callum dives deeper on his Shark Control list he just Top4'ed the Legacy Challenge with. Did Standstill get cut just to improve the name of the deck even further, or are there actual gameplay considerations behind this? In any case, Shark Control is really making its pressence felt in the format and might just be the kind of Control deck blue mages have been longing for ever since UW Miracles had fallen out of favour. In the second part of the cast, Callum and Julian discuss the primary deckbuilding constraints and principles in Legacy. What are the questions one has to ask themselves when trying to come up with something new in 2020, and what are the common blindspots and pitfalls in try to revolutionize the format...or just have some good old fun?

How To Loop Your Dragon – feat. Kyle Moran | EP.80 Jul 05, 2020

Coming fresh off a Legacy Challenge win, Kyle Moran introduces Callum and Julian to how he turned one of the biggest meme decks in the history of Vintage and Legacy into a real deck! Not only can this deck draw the game (in paper) at almost any point, it's also got the possibility to win the game out of almost entirely nowhere! Kyle's positive energy is absolutely captivating and makes for an absolute blast of an episode - definitely don't miss this one!

Here Be Goblins! | EP.79 Jun 19, 2020

Goblins used to consistently terrorize the top tables during the early years of Legacy, but eventually faded into obscurity. Recently it's been growing in both popularity and success again, so we invited one of the premier Goblin kings to the cast to discuss which key additions have made the deck viable again. Eli "goblinlackey1" Goings teaches Callum, Matt and Julian about the ways of the Goblins, and which key M21 card he's incredibly excited for.

Callum, Matt and Julian come together to discuss Wizards of the Coast's "patch" of the Commander Companion mechanic and whether they still believe any of them to be viable now. Callum and Julian then get lost into a wine/beer-fueled praise of - you guessed it - Esper Vial and how it carried Julian to a Top16 in the Team Lotus Box Legacy 1.5k. Also, will Yorio still be a thing in Legacy, or is it gonna join the Veteran Explorer's Club of Near Misses?

With Lurrus and Zirda banned in record pace, Legacy initially looked to revert back to its pre-Ikoria state. But is it really?

And which kind of room is there to punish the seemingly unpunishable deck? Also find out which deck in particular all three of them are super excited for.

With the world on lockdown and all Magic tournaments cancelled, we are taking you out of the current reality and onto a cruise through the history of Legacy. Together with our guests Marius "MariusOfTheMoon" Hausmann we specifically explore the bans of the years 2004-2011. I did a ton of research on this episode to provide you with some super interesting tidbits and little-known facts about these bannings. While doing so I found in particularly interesting to analyze Wizards of the Coast's historic explanations about their decisions, which played a significant part in establishing the formation of Legacy as we know it today.

NBC Delver & What You Need To Know before Atlanta – feat. Jarvis Yu | EP.65 Sep 16, 2019

Following his win in the Legacy Format Playoff on the previous weekend with the hottest deck in town, Jarvis Yu joins Bob and Julian to talk about NBC RUG Delver. Known by many for his proficiency with RG Lands, Jarvis is actually a veteran Delver pilot and has a lot to say about the current state of the deck - and why it is secretly a Jund a deck at times! In the second half of the cast, Bob goes full Facebook and unleashes his collective metagame data onto the world. He's been keeping track of all medium and high stakes Legacy events ever since the last sets releases, providing us with a comprehensive analysis of the most successful decks in the format right now. Which decks have been putting up the numbers - and which specific deck did lead Bob to call it one of the most overhyped decks in the history of the format? Bob's Meta Analysis Understanding Bob's data: Decks are generally sorted into one of three categories: Aggro, Midrange/Control and Combo (from left to right) The number under M20 shows the number of Top8 finishes of big Legacy tournaments with at least 8 rounds ever since M20 was released The number under ELD is unimportant for now, it's for Throne of Eldraine. You can see the total metagame share of the deck in numbers and % in the last two columns Colors show relevance: green has decks of at least 3% share, yellow shows decks with <3% but >2% share, and orange is for decks with less than 2% but more than 1% Uncolored decks have been close to non-existent in the winners metagame The numbers at the very bottom show aggregated metagame percentages for the grand categories: Aggro at 33.6%, Midrange/Control at 29.5% and Combo at 36.9% This is Bob's break up of the data into different, non-archetype-specific categories. It teaches us about the prevalence of certain important cards in the metagame, such as how often non-blue decks rise to the top, how much of a factor Thalia, Guardian of Thraben still is in the metagame, and how Dark Depths has surpassed Griselbrand for the time being. Other Show Notes NBC RUG Delver - The deck everyone's talking about right now!

With SCG Syracuse and another Legacy Challenge in the books, our crew looks at the most recent results with special focus on the “Tundra renaissance” that is UW Delver and UW Stoneblade: one a freak accident between Delver and Miracles, the other an old faithful of Legacy that hasn’t really seen proper tournament play in almost a decade.

Legacy is Balanced & Great – Or is it? | EP.51 Feb 25, 2019

For today’s episode, we’re blatantly “cashing in” on Bob’s most recent metagame overview article on Channel Fireball, that garnered a lot of attention. Following the ban of and , Bob outlines an allegedly balanced, diverse and potentially fun format with no deck reaching double-digit % respresentaiton. Enter Eric Landon, shatterer of dreams who disagrees with Bob’s point of view quite strongly.

Somehow the conversation steers towads Julian calling a “reasonable” magic card, while everyone laments the absence of Zoo. In the second part of today’s show, our three heros discuss the recently proposed mulligan rule change by Wizards of the Coast, which will be tested at the next Mythic Championship in London (April 26th-28th). Will this destroy Legacy as we know it or isn’t it nearly as much of a deal as the initial reaction would have you believe? And how many s should you buy now?

Happy New Year everyone…wait, it’s February already!? It’s been way too long since our last cast, so with Dr Matt Pavlic being fresh out of basic training, we decided to finally have the Canadian answer to Rambo back on the cast! Joining us tonight is the UK’s Callum Smith, who recently played a major role in the development Legacy’s hottest deck in town right now: Grixis Phoenix. Callum finished as runner-up in a recent 100+ player Legacy Challenge with it and provides an introduction on how to burn down and reignite phoenixes. Since Callum already covered the ins-and-out of the deck on the latest Eternal Durdles episode (which will release next week I believe), we then move on to focus more on the general Legacy metagame as we bring Mat up-2-speed for his first Legacy tournament in about half a year. Will Siege Rhino prevail? Is Recurring Nightmare gonna make the cut? And which blue enchantment did Dr Pavlic splash into his NicFit deck? Find out on tonight’s show! In the last part, Julian explains his reasoning for thinking there are actually too many Grand Prix – and how he feels about the future of non-professional competitive play! Bonus Content: Matt tells us about how to deal with the onsets of a midlife crisis and which car might be right for you.

In today’s episode Bob and I invite Thraben University dean and Latin sensation Phil Gallagher onto the podcast to discuss Legacy’s premier creature deck™ and its alleged status as the "(maybe) best deck in Legacy" according to Bob Huang and Gerry Thompson. With the Legacy results of the most recent Pro Tour in the books, we explore both strengths and weaknesses of of the deck and its role against the breakout deck of the tournament - UB Shadow. In the second half of the cast, Julian makes the case for GW Maverick as the most underrated deck of the format and lays out why he thinks its better positioned than its Mono White cousin. Phil on the other hand ends up blowing Julian's mind by suggestion an entirely new approach to Death & Taxes that he hasn't fleshed out yet but that PT-Winner Allen Wu consideres highly worth exploring!

Quo vadis, Legacy? | EP.48 Jul 05, 2018

Magic in China – And Why It’s About to Become Massive! | EP.47 Jun 10, 2018

Today’s show covers a topic my guest James Hsu and I have been planning to cover for a very long time. Because of James’ upbringing in Vancouver, frequent travels to and interactions with Europe, and newfound home in Beijing, he’s one of the few players out there with an expert knowledge of many different Magic scenes and cultures. In this episode of Everyday Eternal, he provides some fascinating insight into many aspects of Chinese Magic — and why he expects it to explode in popularity in the near future. Table of contents: * Cultural Differences between North American, European and Chinese Magic * Legacy Tournament Scene in China * Chinese Magic Content Creators and relation with “Western” Scene * Magic on Chinese Social Media — Bigger than Twitch! * Why MTG Arena will be a Game Changer in China * The Chinese Secondary Market * Discussion of the so-called “Chinese Fakes” https://writtenbyjames.com/ James Hsu’s personal blog where he reflects on life, the universe and everything. https://humansofmagic.com/ The Humans of Magic podcast blog, where James interviews Magic personalities on a very personal level http://www.iyingdi.cn/ China’s #1 Website for anything gaming, including Magic http://themeditators.org/ The Meditators – China’s Premier Legacy Forum https://mtgdecks.net/Legacy/beijing-orlov-s-legacy-event-2017-tournament-48456 Results of the last Beijing Orlov Tournament in December http://www.yy.com/ China’s largest streaming website – much bigger than Twitch! https://taobao.com Chinese marketplace to buy/sell everything, including Magic cards http://itsjulian.com/why-we-love-legacy/ Why we love Legacy — James Hsu’s Legacy manifesto Excellent overview of all Magic-carrying LGSs in Beijing (approved by James) We’d love to hear your feedback on today’s episode in the comment section or via Twitter.

GP Seattle Ante Portas feat. Marius Hausmann | EP.46 Apr 03, 2018

On today’s episode, Matt and I welcome another guest host to the podcast: German Legacy phenomenon Marius Hausmann. Many of you might already know Marius following his recent success on the MKM Series, but this guy is a true oldschooler of Legacy. When I started playing competitive Legacy in Munich around 2005/06, he was already around as one (if not the) end boss of our local scene…and soon all of Germany as well. After eventually dropping his beloved Death & Taxes in favor of a deck he swore to never touch, we invited him to today’s cast to discuss his thoughts on the state of Legacy right before the upcoming Grand Prix. * GP Seattle coming up on the weekend * Why Marius dropped Death & Taxes * Grixis Delver, Marius’ unlikely new mistress * Czech Pile vs Grixis Delver…3,2,1 FIGHT! * Beat Grixis Delver using this one weird trick * The Dark Horse — Moon Stompy * State of the MKM Series Marius Hausmann's (MariusOfTheMoon on MTGO) Grixis Delver he won the most recent Legacy Challenge with, beating Julian's Elves in the Quarterfinals. We also tracked down the player Marius mentioned who plays a lot of Energy Field-Rest in Peace on Magic Online. Check out his decklists here: adalid240477 We'd love to hear your feedback on today's episode in the comment section or via Twitter. This is only the second episode I have edited myself and I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or advise on how we could improve your enjoyment of Everyday Eternal even further! So long, Julian

Your support there really does mean the world to me and I'm thankful for everything you guys & girls have done for me this year! iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud & Previous Episodes /Edit: We're on iTunes now! We're working with Eternal Central, where this podcast used to be hosted, to soon reupload all the previous episodes! Some time next week, the current (old) iTunes feed for Everyday Eternal will close and I'll reopen a new one that you can subscribe to. Same goes for Google Play and Soundcloud, where we will register this Podcast for the first time. Once everything has been set up, I'll announce everything here. If you liked what you heard, we'd be very thankful if you could leave a review on iTunes, once we're on it. Feedback It would be great to receive some feedback on this episode. This was the first time I have edited a podcast and it blew my mind how much time goes into working on it. I can tell that I'm already getting better, so I'm already looking forward to future episodes! Please do let us know what you liked and disliked about this episode, which topics you'd love us to see hear covering in future episodes, as well as what your favourite Siege Rhino combo is. You can leave your feedback in the comments or contact me via Twitter. So long, Julian
