https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaXT_EETtKw&list=PLhAJZyLBTDL6bHqP1Jl2w8fP_AeKh0-du&index=10Marco Montani is one if not the most successful Legacy player of the last couple of years. He has Top8'ed FOUR 4Seasons Legacy Main Events, including back-to-back events of 400-500 players. "Guess who Top8'ed again?" has become Callum's catchphrase of almost every 4Seasons event our crew attended, and at this point things are getting ridiculous.Coming fresh of yet another Top8 (and a win!) at the Legacy Main Event earlier this month, this interview is Part 1 of this week's double feature episodes. While Kai...actually where is Kai?

Together with serial guest star Callum "Whitefaces" Smith we discuss Jeff's run through the tournament with Bant(r) Midrange (or is it Control?!) - and why Jeff thinks Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath might actually be slightly overrated. In the second half of the show Callum introduces his to his latest made creation: the Dryad of the Ilysian Grove Stompy deck.

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. With all our hosts being contemporaries of all these banned cards, we discuss our experiences with the respective cards at the times and how we feel about the necessity of their bans.

Ever made the mistake of thinking of Faerie Seer & Spellstutter Sprites as Pauper powerhouses? Think again, because they ripped right through this tournament, joined by their new partner in crime, Patron Wizard. Aether Vial, Stifle, and 21 creatures that are of course joined by Ensnaring Bridge - what's not to love? The boys also take a concerning amount of pride in finally getting a prediction right (Surveil Lands), and lay out why they're not on-board with the long-term future of Leyline of the Guildpact in Legacy.

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.

In the second half of the cast, Eric and Julian discuss their impressions of the first five weeks of the Legacy Unchained tournament. Which (un)banned cards have overperformed, and which were utter disappointments?

Turns out Bob’s still got it! Last weekend he took down the SCG Classic in Richmond with Slow Depths.

Find out why Soul Herder has been haunting Bob’s dreams and which deck Eric actually grinded before becoming everyone’s go-to Reanimator go…and learn about Julian’s currently complicated relationship with Elves.

Our crew also discovers the hottest new tech in town: Squadron Hawk + Force of Virtue out of Death Birds & Taxes! Eric and I also discuss our experience during the first week of the Legacy Unchained league we were invited to, and which cards we think could potentially come off the ban list at some point in the future. In the second half of the show we discuss the disqualification for Cheating that happened after the Top8 of the CMS Frankfurt event, which was uncovered by Twitch chat and brought to the head judges' attention after the event had already finished. Here are the three clips we discuss in in this episode, which eventually lead to the disqualification of Sebastian Wibmer. They include one instance of playing two lands a turn, as well as two of him stacking the top card of his deck.

For today’s episode, we invited one of the biggest names in MTGO Legacy to the cast: Chase “Stryfo” Hansen, who recently took down the first of four “Legacy Playoffs” we are getting on Magic Online this year. For those who don’t know what this means, Chase emerged victorious in a tournament of only the most successful and dedicated online Legacy grinders last week. Join us as we explore Chase’s history as a competitive player, all the way from reanimating to Top8’ing a Legacy Grand Prix in 2015. We also unpack the theory behind Chase’s 4c Punishing Dack control deck, which he has achieved a record number of Legacy Challenge Top8s with over the years – and why it might be for you! We also touch on our thoughts on this weekend’s Mythic Invitational and the dark story behind Chase’s alternate “Clashed” nickname!

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. Also, somehow Bob really likes Slivers in today’s metagame why Julian considers it a worse version of the criminally underrated Merfolk he recently 5-0’ed with. Meanwhile Eric keeps terrorizing MTGO Legacy with his latest creation: The Epic Thief! Also tune in for the latest Bob Huang Banning Nomination™. Legacy is coming for you, !

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. Listen to these two Legacy powerhouse players (and Julian) discuss their views of today’s Legacy metagame. 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. We also find out why the Canadian department of motor vehicles objected to the use of “NicFit” as a license plate.

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! Decks discussed include: Death & Taxes UB(x) Shadow GW Maverick 4c Loam touched upon: 27-Lands Death & Taxes Marius Hausmann's GW Maverick list, advocated by Julian: Maindeck 4 Noble Hierarch 4 Mother of Runes 4 Knight of the Reliquary 4 Stoneforge Mystic 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Scryb Ranger 1 Qasali Pridemage 1 Gaddock Teeg 1 Ramunap Excavator 1 Sigarda, Host of Herons 4 Swords to Plowshares 4 Green Sun's Zenith 1 Umezawa's Jitte 1 Sword of Fire and Ice 1 Batterskull 4 Windswept Heath 4 Savannah 4 Wasteland 2 Verdant Catacombs 2 Horizon Canopy 2 Forest 1 Marsh Flats 1 Karakas 1 Plains 1 Dryad Arbor 1 Gaea's Cradle Sideboard 4 Ethersworn Canonist 3 Choke 3 Surgical Extraction 2 Oblivion Ring 1 Qasali Pridemage 1 Sylvan Library 1 Pithing Needle Phil's currently recommended Death & Taxes list: Maindeck 4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 4 Stoneforge Mystic 4 Flickerwisp 4 Mother of Runes 2 Phyrexian Revoker 2 Recruiter of the Guard 2 Mirran Crusader 1 Brightling 1 Sanctum Prelate 1 Palace Jailer 4 Swords to Plowshares 4 Aether Vial 1 Umezawa's Jitte 1 Sword of Fire and Ice 1 Batterskull 7 Snow-Covered Plains 7 Plains 4 Rishadan Port 4 Wasteland 2 Karakas Sideboard 2 Rest in Peace 2 Path to Exile 2 Council's Judgment 2 Chalice of the Void 2 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar 1 Faerie Macabre 1 Surgical Extraction 1 Leonin Relic-Warder 1 Walking Ballista 1 Pithing Needle We'd love to hear your feedback on today's episode in the comment section or via Twitter.

On Monday Wizards of the Coast dropped the biggest bomb on Legacy in quite a while: with and leaving the format for good, the format has become as wide open as it’s ever been since at least early 2012! Together with Legacy masters and Bob Huang and today’s guests Jarvis Yu, we explore what the future of Legacy could look like and which decks we would currently love to explore more of in the near future. All three of us are really thrilled to jump head-first into the this fresh new format with tons of seemingly viable strategies and decks to put in the hours with. Other than that, we also nerd out a bit about past Legacy GP results as a source of inspiration for what the fturue of Legacy might hold. Decks discussed include: * Canadian Threshold (“RUG Delver”) * GW Maverick * Miracles * Storm * Lands * UB / BR Reanimator * Grixis Control * BUG Landstill * Goblins * Merfolk * Elves Show Notes Bob Huang on Twitter: @Griselpuff Bob Huang on Twitch: twitch.tv/griselpuff Jarvis Yu on Twitter: @jkyu06 Jarvis Yu on Twitch: twitch.tv/jarvisyu We’ll all be streaming a lot of Legacy, so make sure to check out both Bob’s and Jarvis’ streams, as well as mine on twitch.tv/itsJulian.

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.

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.

Bob Huang, Matt Pavlic and Julian Knab sit down with newly crowned ETERNAL WEEKEND 2017 LEGACY CHAMPION, Denmark's Hans Jacob Goddik to discuss his and Bob's amazing runs through the tournament, their individual deck choices (BUG & Grixis Delver) as well as the current state of Legacy.

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!
