Legacy just got spicy! In Episode 102 of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, Philipp, Daniel, and Peter break down the surprise victory of Mono-Red Eldrazi Stompy in the latest Legacy Showcase Challenge and explore the continued dominance of UB Reanimator in the post-ban meta.

We dive deep into:

• How Eldrazi used new MH3 tech like Eldrazi Linebreaker to crush the field.

• Why UB Reanimator remains the deck to beat — and how the meta is (or isn’t) adapting.

• The role of Up the Beanstalk shells in keeping up with the top-tier decks.

• The delicate balance between packing graveyard hate and staying proactive.

Whether you’re looking to exploit the current meta or find the right counterplay, this episode is packed with insights for competitive Legacy players.

🎙️ Episode 100 – Everything Matters: Mastering Legacy with Ecobaronen

To celebrate our 100th episode, we’re joined by Legacy legend Andreas Petersen, better known as Ecobaronen, for a deep dive into the mindset, theory, and precision play that defines competitive success in the Legacy format.

🧠 From “Everything Matters” to cantrip theory, body language, sideboarding psychology, and the art of practice, this episode is packed with high-level insight from one of the format’s most respected players.

🧩 What We Cover:
– What makes a true Legacy format expert
– How to practice like a pro (and evaluate your own plays)
– The “Everything Matters” philosophy explained
– When to trust heuristics vs reevaluating every decision
– Sideboarding strategy, bluffing, and paper vs MTGO
– Cantrip sequencing, tempo shifts, and mindset mastery
– How to play without fear, tilt, or result bias

What should Legacy look like in 2025? In this episode of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, hosts Philipp, Daniel, and Peter dig into the format's philosophy. From fast combos like Oops All Spells to the slow death of control decks, they debate the key elements that define Legacy's identity. Should Legacy have a "turn 3" rule like Modern? Are 4-mana spells still supposed to win you the game?

Plus, we break down the pillars of the format, how to measure when a deck is too strong, and why some cards feel unfair even when they’re technically “fine.”

The In Response crew breaks down the return of Blue-Black Reanimator in Legacy following recent bannings. Troll of Khazad-dûm is gone, but the archetype is back—and possibly stronger than before.

In this episode, we cover:

• The new streamlined build (Entomb, Reanimate, Atraxa, Aon)

• Why 19 lands and 2 Undercity Sewers matter

• Comparing Reanimator to Blue-Black Tempo in strategy & threat profiles

• Sideboarding tricks to conceal the combo plan

• The role of graveyard hate in the current metagame

• Hypothetical bans: Entomb? Tamiyo? Atraxa? Nothing?

Plus: Why Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student might be quietly dominating—and how it could be the next card on the radar.

This week on In Response – A Legacy Podcast, the crew dives into:

• Daniel's spicy Grixis Tempo tournament run

• Philipp’s switch from Oops to Stockpile Stiflenought

• Peter’s Depths misplay vs Emrakul (ouch!)

• And the biggest discussion: Can we really trust MTGO meta data?

We discuss how online data gets skewed by combo grinders, why challenges aren’t the whole picture, and how that impacts Legacy bans and perceptions. If you’ve ever wondered why the online meta feels so different from paper—this episode is for you.
