  • The inevitable and welcome DEATH OF DELVER

    Zac and Phil engage in a deep discussion about the current state of Legacy in Magic: The Gathering, focusing on the viability of Delver of Secrets, the impact of power creep, and the role of key cards like Lightning Bolt and Entomb. They explore the format's evolution through different eras, the dynamics of combo and tempo decks, and the community's perspective on potential card bans. They highlight the ongoing debate about the balance of power in the game and the implications for deck building and competitive play. This conversation delves into the evolution of Legacy decks in Magic: The Gathering, discussing significant changes brought about by various sets, including the impact of power creep and the introduction of Modern Horizons.
