Modern Horizons 2 has hit the Legacy metagame like a truck. A truck everyone saw coming, running you over with TWO new incredibly powerful 1-drops for Delver, and a card that completely revitalized a former Tier3 deck to a Legacy Challenge win. Callum & Julian break down the massive changes we have seen in the format during the last two big tournaments, and what they're excited for moving forward. They also break down the most over/underhyped cards in the set judging by results thus far, and which two utility cards have already become absolute Legacy allstar mainstays. In the second part of the show we also touch on the ongoing discussion around the power level of Delver, and the idea of banning Daze.
