I rarely play them, because modern is just so much more fun (and I don’t have the time to play other formats online).

I loved the article because I learned from it. Most interesting insight:

“perhaps Legacy is so beloved in paper not despite its massive price tag but because of it”

Thanks Peter.

I think there are still profits to be made–the key is getting in and getting out at the rigth time, and not making bets that are reliant on the long-term growth of the format. The higher spread on Legacy cards makes short-term specs (e.g those driven by MTGO events) challenging. Meanwhile, the risk of reprints makes “buy and hold” risky.

That said, if the conditions are right, as they were with EMN, Legacy specs can return strong yields in the short run. We’ll keep an eye out for future opportunities.

Great Article. Ive speculated on the last 2 legacy events of the past year, pretty sure I’ll be sitting the next one out. Legacy just doesn’t seem like a great place to spec.
