![]() ![]() ![]() In South America, Brazil (due to its size) keeps a series of its own regional and local Legacy tournaments and Circuits and even had its national Legacy championship (Nacional Legacy) up until 2019 (before the pandemic). Still, plenty of Legacy tournaments can be found across the US and Canada. In 2020, SCG moved away from Legacy as an SCG Tour format totally, replacing it with Pioneer. ![]() However, in November 2015, SCG cut its Legacy support, which caused outrage among North American Legacy players. In North America, the Star City Games Open Series dramatically increased the number of Legacy players residing there. Īround 2006, the DCI began organizing larger tournaments in the format, which caused a noticeable increase in the number of players trying Legacy. An online poll to name the revamped format was held on Aaron Forsythe's Latest Developments column, with Legacy winning 25.5% of the vote. Legacy once had a reputation for being the "poor man's Vintage" but today has developed into a format very distinct from Vintage. Certain cards formerly banned in Legacy were unbanned and the format was allowed to develop on its own. In the fall of 2004, the decision was made that the format should have a Banned List separate from Vintage. Legacy was created in July 1997 from the little-used format known as Classic-Restricted, which was simply a format where all the cards restricted in Vintage format were banned instead. Legacy has a wide variety of decks - due to the vast card pool previously mentioned - and strategies may vary from pure control to pure combo, aggro-combo, aggro-control, mana-denial, artifacts control, artifacts aggro, land-based decks, land-based ramp, tempo, aggro, midrange, etc. An example of decks that help break this " scary turn-1 combo stereotype" are Tempo decks (famous for having shown great performance) like UR Ragavan, which dominated the meta and even resulted in the banning of Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer. Those represent a fraction of the combo decks in the format. Legacy is one of the formats with the vastest card pools.īecause of that, the decks are of extremely high power and they are famous for having cards like Force of Will and Brainstorm.Īlthough there are turn-1 combos in Legacy, there is a general misconception regarding the average Legacy game, and the format isn't as fast as one would initially think. ![]()
