    But are they? Is Legacy's historical norm a metagame change with every other release?

    Mind you, I'm looking at things from the prism of MTGO where you do have easy access to the latest deck and...

    I think they have when they flogged off the platform for legacy , modern etc and kept the one for standard & digital formats.

    Well, I would like less extreme and frequent shifts in meta but, for every one like me, there's ten others shouting in reddit and twitter about the need to 'freshen' up the metagame and so on. They...

    I can never understand these things but on mtggoldfish, the meta percentage is around 20%, presumably because it's twisted by so many top finishes?

    I just realized how quaint that poll at the top is. To think that 24% at some point considered the oyf to be a bannable threat really speaks volumes about how far the metagame travelled. The oyf is...

    At best it's an attempt at making eternal formats a sort of rotating format, where the latest bomb drives purchases that would otherwise not exist. In short, instead of only pitching cards to...

    This. Leagues are a mixed bag, if you try enough of them with any viable deck, you will get a 5-0, quite a few 4-1 and a crap-load of 3-2s, just based on the games you go against random junk someone...

    There was a rather cryptic article blurb on MTGO traders that said Legacy events were not firing? Of course, the article actually mentioned zero about that (click bait at its best?)

    It's not an 'easy mode' thing, it's about in-game objectives. If you are a F2P player and have limited time, you cannot waste time with side-tracking. If you need to 'attack with 45 creatures' in...

    One of the issues is that there's no penalty for dropping a game. For ex, if you use brawl for your quests and need to win, you can drop all bad match-ups without penalty.
