Legacy Bans Incoming - Here's the Threat Breakdown

With the next Legacy Banned & Restricted announcement just days away, Zac and Phil dive into the latest Threat Level Report to see which cards are dominating the format—and which ones deserve a closer look.

Using Blackmans, our custom metric that combines play rate and copies per deck, we analyze the current Legacy metagame and discuss how cards like Tamiyo, Force of Will, Orcish Bowmasters, Urza's Saga, Flow State, Doomsday, Kozilek's Command, and Fantasticar have shifted over the past month.

Topics include:

• The rise and fall of Legacy's biggest threats
• Why combo continues to dominate the format
• Fantasticar's impact on gameplay
• What the data says Wizards should ban
• Our predictions for the August B&R announcement

Will Wizards act decisively—or will Legacy stay the same?
