I did not do an analysis of each individual card for a number of reasons. First off to go through every single staple would take an extremely large article. One card has more than one use in many cases and going through each one would make the article way too long. Second of all I provided a link to starcitygames Legacy decklists so that players could see what decks use which cards. That also answers the cohesive strategy question.

Yes its true that you don’t have to have a collection and you can just buy them when a deck arises, but if you noticed cards tend to change prices very fast. I can personally say buying my underground seas for 25 tix and my force of will for 45 tix is a lot better than paying the 57 tix for the seas and 90 tix for the force of will now.

As Plejades said I don’t take credit for most of the list although I did go through and add some things and change a few amounts. My future articles will give a lot more insight to the format and will provide analysis that you desire. One last note for your information I did not get anything from this article simply a free starter article giving people a sense of the format.

Thanks for your comments and if I can answer any other questions feel free the let me know. I appreciate both positive and negative criticism.

we have many visitors that don’t know much about Legacy and using lists like these can help to orient yourself in regards to the card pool used in the format. To be fair he did quote the original creator.
I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate any feedback – positive or negative as long as it stays constructive and ideas for improvement are provided (which you did) as it helps us to improve the content and the site in general.

Take care and have fun,

Marin
