I feel that legacy has been slower and more interactive than modern for maybe a year or so. It is a Brainstorm format, but it is common to see Chalice decks eating on them. Also, as my last fnm breakdown showed, all the Miracles and Brainstorm decks in general had a tough time, I think one brainstorm deck in the top 8, unusual perhaps but in Europe we like our Depths, D n T, Pox, Lands etc. It is true that it is hard to play Pox without Chains or Lands without Taby, but for most of the more well known decks it is not the case that megabucks are needed. The format has cheap decks- people buy into the myth of it being a t2 format or it bring about 1000 dollar cards. Soldier stompy is a budget Legacy deck, and it is solid, as is burn- cheaper than Modern burn by a mile, manaless Dredge and small Eldrazi too. Who knows, maybe the Modern players might migrate here over time if they want to play Hoogy delve shenanigans. Still I will try to post as often as possible to try and generate a bit. The Source, of course, exists, but it too has lost people to the discord servers. Add this to the fact that we lost active primers and there were top decks in developing and there was no Legacy community to import from MTGS. I guess we suffer in that MTGS had a large Modern community but the MTGS Legacy community had dissolved into the aether the previous few years- hardly surprising when the majority of the posts were in developing were like the one I replied to yesterday on MTGS, where a "knight deck" was posted with zero interaction beyond 1cc sword/path. From the less well known decks I could probably add one or two like Enchantress, Solider stompy, UW RIP/Helm etc., and I own and have played a fair bit of Mono Red Prison and D n T- the problem being I don't especially like either deck. Ideally people will come forward who are enthusiasts of some of the most played decks. I own a lot of Legacy decks, but by and large would only be comfortable in primers for decks I know intimately, rather than ones just I own or have played for a change.
