Legacy comes to Magic Online
Ladies and gentlemen Legacy is on fire! GP Madrid has beaten any previously attendance record and that’s something Spain is really proud of. Well, we (eternal players) should all be proud of! Every now and then, the attendance records gets beaten but that ain’t new. What’s new and surprising is that GP Madrid was played under the Legacy format. Obviously Wotc never expected GP Madrid to be such a success. Their constant work to improve the game, has forced them to implement Legacy for Magic Online. With that many players playing Legacy on Real Life™ it was an obvious movement to release Legacy for the online fans.
The announcement came published yesterday (9th of March) on their official website.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of playing magic online (neither on MOL or MWS). I just can’t stop loving the feeling of a head’s up game, the feeling of having the cards in my hands, shuffling, looking at your opponent in a tournament or at friends in a casual game. I love the charm from old cards and the beauty of alterations, foil and foreign languages being played on a game.
