We Just Played the First Peak Legacy Event

Peak Legacy is officially a paper format. On August 16th, we held the first-ever paper Peak Legacy event , bringing together 10 players and 8 different archetypes for a tournament that was as much about exploring an old format as it was about competing. The event was won by Grixis Control , featuring Baleful Strix, Gurmag Angler, Snapcaster Mage, Kolaghan's Command, and a pile of spicy one-ofs and unusual numbers. We break down the decks that showed up, including Grixis Delver, Infect, Dark Maverick, Goblin Stompy, Lands, Death & Taxes, and Phil's Blue-White Miracles list. But the most exciting part wasn't necessarily the winner. It was seeing what happens when you take a historical Legacy format and give players the time and incentive to explore it without another set immediately changing everything.
