I desperately need your help.
I have a plan which might sound insane, but if you care to read on, you will see the greatness of this plan.
I played a LOT of legacy around 2007-2011 and recently got back into magic, and a few friends are interested in it.
However, I now live abroad in a country which has no easy access to magic cards, and I want to introduce them to the nostalgia of legacy at that time period via proxy.
I was searching for decklists from that time period but couldn't find anything aside from some things on starcitygames.
I started searching through old threads here, when I was a more active member, and found a few things.
I'm wondering if there is anybody who remembers the metagame from back then and what the old decks used to look like pre-delver. (Do people still play delver now? I heard orcish bowmasters is a thing, oh.)
From the top of my head here were some of the top decks at the time:
UGR Threshold
UGW Threshold
Ad Nauseam Storm
Dredge
Goblins
43land
Dragon Stompy (and Faerie variant which was worse)
Life from the Loam (separate from 43land)
Merfolk
I forgot the rest because I was almost always playing Goblins and usually just crushed the other decks.
Anybody else remember any decks from this time period (2005-2011) and know anywhere to get the better decklists?
As a final note, I want to commend the fact that this site still exists. Back in the 00s, forums were still the best place to find information. I find it quite unfortunate the way the world has developed. Apparently, from what I've been reading, a lot of the best magic talk now is on Discord. OK. I recently started getting back into Magic after 10 years and I am quite disappointed by the direction of the game, I was just recently drafting the new format on Arena and disgusted by it, but I'm sure you have already been through that discussion many times. So I just want to say thank you for keeping the site alive. Legacy is the greatest format of all time, and I will take that with me to my grave. Goodbye.
Please let me know if you recall the metagame from 2007-2011. I would appreciate it very much. Even if you can just tell me what the popular decks were. I forgot.
