Wizards of the Coast finally made a Legacy ban announcement — and for once, they actually addressed the format directly. In this episode, we break down the May 2026 B&R update, the banning of Undercity Informer in Oops All Spells, and what it means for the future of Legacy.
We discuss:
• Why Oops All Spells needed to be hit
• The Magic Online “fast deck” incentive problem
• Why Legacy still has deeper issues
• The rise of Colorless Tron
• Whether Kozilek's Command or Planar Nexus could be next
• Updated Legacy threat assessment numbers
• Why cards like Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student and Orcish Bowmasters still matter
• 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.
