Is Legacy getting healthier?
In this episode, we assess current Threat Level data, a metric that tracks how dominant cards are based on play rate and deck saturation, as well as:
• The rise of Flow State
• Why Orcish Bowmasters is finally trending down
• Urza’s Saga’s massive surge
• The impact of new design vs. bans on format health
• How to interpret impact of threat level vs gameplay (and why cards like Thassa’s Oracle should be viewed differently
• The cyclical nature of format-defining cards
• What trends suggest for the future
