Heritage Might Be the Legacy we Deserve!

What if Legacy only included cards that went through Standard?

This week, Zac is joined by Arkratos to explore Heritage, a community-driven Eternal format that preserves Legacy's foundation while excluding supplemental products like Modern Horizons and cards that never entered Standard. The result is a familiar—but dramatically different—format that continues to evolve with every in-universe Standard release.

In this episode we discuss:

• What Heritage is and how it differs from Legacy
• Why Standard-only card legality creates a healthier metagame
• The impact of removing supplemental products
• Why cards like Bowmasters and Modern Horizons staples aren't present
• New archetypes built around Moonshadow, Archmage's Newt, and Likeness Looter
• BUG Beans, Dreadnought, Cradle Control, and Mono Black innovations
• How Heritage handles bans independently from Legacy
• Why community-driven formats continue to grow
• How to build a local Heritage community and get involved today

If you've been looking for an Eternal format that still evolves—but at a more manageable pace—Heritage may be exactly what you're looking for.

Would you give Heritage a try?
