Sam breaks down matchups, deck construction, pump math, Legolas trick lines, and why opponents misplay constantly into split second.Whether you're a returning Infect sicko or format veteran curious about the deck's comeback, this is your essential primer for the post-ban Legacy metagame.JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
