Legacy has been SHAKEN to its core.
In Episode 106 of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, we break down one of the most surprising ban announcements in years: Entomb banned after 5,500 days, Nadu, Winged Wisdom gone, and Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student still untouched — leaving Legacy players worldwide stunned.
We analyze why Wizards made this decision, what it means for Reanimator, how Mystic Forge suddenly becomes the deck to beat, and why proactive strategies like Sneak & Show, Breakfast, and Cloudpost may be poised for a huge comeback.
We also dive deep into Eternal Weekend prep, meta predictions, realistic win conditions, fear factors, hot takes, and why the lack of a “format outlook” section in the B&R announcement is more suspicious than people admit.
You’ll hear:
• Entomb as a “secondary pillar” and why its design space is dead
• Why Tamiyo may still be banned in 3 months
• Whether Legacy is drifting toward “battlecruiser Magic”
• Why Mystic Forge is the new public enemy #1
• Oops All Spells and Breakfast stock rising
• Blue Black Tempo risks and hidden weaknesses
• The return of Stoneforge Mystic in Breakfast
• Eternal Weekend Europe hype + 19 ARTISTS confirmed
• Vintage side-event excitement and unpowered Scam tech

The Legacy format might be on the brink of its biggest shake-up yet. In this explosive episode of In Response - A Legacy Podcast, Philipp, Daniel, and Peter dive deep into what could happen if Wizards of the Coast goes after Legacy’s “sacred cows.”
With the November 10th Banned & Restricted announcement approaching, the hosts debate possible scenarios — from banning Entomb or Tamiyo, to more extreme “nuke-the-format” options that could reshape Legacy forever.
🔥 Topics Covered:
Should Entomb finally be banned?

What happens if Tamiyo gets axed?

Is Mystic Forge the next big problem?

How the Legacy meta shifts after major bans

Decks that survive any shake-up (Blue-Red Cutter, Oops All Spells, and more)
