This past week, I want to remind everyone why Legacy is a great format. This article highlights some of the more diverse and out-there decks of the format’s history.

Drew Levin is often asked, “How do you sideboard with this deck?” Well it’s time to learn how using some critical thinking and examples to guide you through.

Which Reanimator targets are the best for your Legacy deck? Drew evaluates all the big fatty boom-booms we love to unearth and goes over matchup evaluations. Stay on top of Legacy for 2012.

The Legacy metagame coming out of the Invi is the best I’ve seen. It has multiple aggressive archetypes, a powerful but not invulnerable control strategy, and several combo decks. Today, I want to talk about what won the Legacy Open.

Beginning with an idea, Drew explores life without Brainstorm in Legacy as he prepares for St. Louis. See the format through non-blue eyes!

Drew Levin discusses decks like Tempered Steel and why they are worse in Top 8s with revealed decklists and more sideboarded games. Whether it’s Standard or Legacy, know how to build your linear strategies.

Whether you love Brainstorm or hate it, whether you root for it or against it, it’s a defining card of the format, and it’s here to stay.

Drew’s next focus is on another deck without Islands! How refreshing. Read his take on Mono-Red Goblins as well as why it’s well-positioned for the current Legacy metagame. Tune it for the St. Louis Open in a few weeks.

G/W Maverick is a relatively inexpensive Legacy deck that takes the most hateful bears in the format and pits them against the field. This isn’t a White Weenie deck. Drew tells you why you should consider it at Las Vegas this weekend.

After playing Snapcaster Mage for 10 rounds of Legacy against decks ranging from Dredge and Reanimator to Merfolk, Zoo, U/W, and B/W, I feel comfortable telling you that Snapcaster Mage is a better Legacy card than Dark Confidant.

Does Legacy have a metagame? Or is it so hard to get cards that people just stick to one or two basic core archetypes and just stick with those for the most part? Also, what should you play at GP Amsterdam and the Legacy Baltimore Open?

There are 3 major Legacy players in Innistrad, and while I talked about Snapcaster Mage last week and will talk about Liliana of the Veil next week, I want to give Past in Flames its own article. Such an incredible card deserves nothing less.

With cards like Snapcaster Mage and Skaab Ruinator, Legacy is getting plenty of love. With the absence of Mental Misstep, things look a lot better for brewers. Check out what decks get a boost in Innistrad for the SCG Open in Indy.

Drew celebrates the banning of Mental Misstep by showing you exactly how diverse Legacy can be and what decks will be viable now that people can freely cast one-drop spells without fear of Misstepping.
