The Legacy B&R announcement finally hit Oops All Spells… but did Wizards actually solve the problem?
In this episode, we go deeper on the May 2026 ban announcement and discuss why the bigger issue may actually be Colorless Tron, The One Ring, and the growing dominance of fast mana strategies in Legacy.
We cover:
• Why banning Undercity Informer may not be enough
• The difference between old Goblin Charbelcher decks and modern Oops All Spells
• Why Magic Online incentives distort Legacy
• Whether players should blame the deck or Wizards
• Why Planar Nexus is terrifying
• The role of Kozilek's Command in Tron’s rise
• Why Karn, the Great Creator may deserve more scrutiny
• Whether Legacy’s fast mana problem is finally catching up to the format
We also talk about how Wizards communicated this B&R update — and why actually explaining their reasoning is a major step forward, even if we disagree with the conclusions.

• Whether Wizards is finally taking Legacy seriously again
We also go over the latest metagame numbers and talk about why the format may finally be moving in a healthier direction — even if there’s still a lot of work left to do.

Former Leaving a Legacy host Jerry Mee joins the show to talk about the explosive growth of Premodern, the current state of Legacy, and why so many longtime Magic players are rediscovering their love for the game through older formats.
We dive into:
• Why Premodern feels different from modern Magic
• The problems with Legacy and constant power creep
• Universes Beyond and the “Fortnite-ification” of MTG
• Why players are rejecting rotating non-rotating formats
• LobsterCon, community growth, and the future of Premodern
• Gold border cards, proxies, and accessibility
• Brewing new decks in an “unsolved” format
• Whether Wizards will eventually monetize Premodern
We also get into some spicy deckbuilding discussion, including New England Threshnought, Mono Blue Dreadnought, tempo strategies in Premodern, and why Nimble Mongoose might secretly be cracked again.
If you miss old-school Magic—or want to understand why Premodern is suddenly everywhere—this is the episode for you.
