Podcasts

The Prewar period saw an explosion in Legacy-focused podcasting. Each of the following podcasts was content worth listening to during the historic Prewar period (6-July-2018 and 26-April-2019).

Leaving a Legacy

Active throughout the Prewar window

Pat Euglow and Jerry Mee’s weekly Hipsters of the Coast show – a definitive pillar of the community during the entire Prewar period and beyond.

Everyday Eternal

Active throughout the Prewar window

Magic’s oldest Legacy podcast, then hosted by Julian Knab, Bob Huang, and Matt Pavlic: event results and metagame breakdowns from format veterans.

Eternal Durdles

Active throughout the Prewar window

Running weekly since 2016 and still going, then hosted by Zac Clark, Nathan Golia, and Phil Blechman – one of the format’s longest-standing shows, with a back catalog stretching well beyond the Prewar window on either side.

The Dead Format Podcast

Jul 5, 2018 – Apr 26, 2019 (launched the week of the ban)

Thomas Smiley and Ian McKeown’s Legacy-focused show, launched just as the Prewar window opened.

Legacy’s Allure

Jul 2017 – 2019, monthly (partially overlaps the Prewar window)

MTG Training Grounds’ educational series – deep dives on single cards and themes with guest pros. Runs both before and after the Prewar window, but the subject matter is timeless.
