I've been playing Magic since 1995, but tried MTGO for the first time a few weeks ago. I love the concept of leagues and being able to play Magic whenever I want. I mostly just play legacy. So the question is: How good is MTGO for legacy? Do events consistently fire? Can I count on finding people to play against?
The addition of leagues has been amazing, it made me buy back in. You can find a match within a few minutes usually, and being able to finish the leagues at your leasure is great. There's also usually plenty of people in the practice rooms. Of course there's the complaints of the client being bad and out of date (which isn't unwarranted), but otherwise Legacy on MTGO is great.
I am in the same boat as you Vicar. But to add to Whitefaces point, there are now weekly Legacy challenges to play.
You can find prize structure, start times etc. on Wizard's website. http://magic.wizards.com/en/content/...mat-challenges
I was thinking about buying into mtgo for legacy too, but I am kind of coutious because I don't really like paying that much money on digital product (I would rather pay a monthley fee tbh).
Anyhow, when I was playing with the thought for the first time in 2016 my then legacy deck (Shardless BUG) was something like 1500-2000 Tix if I remember correctly, now most decks are like 500-700 Tix, was there some huge dip in prices or what happend here?
I am also afraid to buy in because of Magic Digital Next, there is no guarantee that all the cards will be invalidated with the switch is there?

If this is true then seems like MTGO prices/collections wouldn't be affected too much, and if anything there would be increased demand which would drive prices up. (assuming its an improvement)
I've been considering buying into MTGO mainly for a place to play. It is really appealing having someone to play against when I want instead of when there's people at local shop and I drive there.
