We Only Found 8 Legacy Cards in the Hobbit Set

The Hobbits are coming to Magic, but how much are they actually going to change Legacy?Zac and Phil go through the new Hobbits from Vetter Breath cards and find something surprisingly refreshing: there aren't that many cards worth talking about for Legacy.We break down the eight cards that caught our attention, including Bilbo, Thief in the Night, The Great Goblin, Giant's Boulder, Thirandil, the Elven King, Inside Information, Bilbo's Gambit, Plunder the Trollshaws, and Riddles in the Dark.Bilbo is the clear standout, looking like a powered-up version of a card that's already on Legacy's banned list. But does that actually make him a problem?We also discuss:Why Universes Beyond sets keep feeling like Commander productsThe new Storied mechanicBilbo vs. Dreadhorde ArcanistWhether The Great Goblin can enable a comboWhy Giant's Boulder isn't the next AstrolabeCan Thirandil actually save Elves from Orcish Bowmasters?Why Inside Information probably isn't a Storm payoffBilbo's Gambit and the Legacy "Silence" problemWhy Riddles in the Dark isn't Fact or FictionAnd why we're actually happy that the set has a lower Legacy power levelIf we missed a card, let us know in the comments.And if you're done with Universes Beyond and want to play Classic, Peak, Pre-War, or Premodern, check out Returnal Durdles. 00:00 — The Hobbit Set Isn't Breaking Legacy00:57 — Flavor vs. Power Level02:37 — The Storied Mechanic Is Metalcraft+04:40 — Urza's Saga Is Already Storied?!05:56 — Why We're Building Locked Formats Instead06:48 — Peak Legacy Event Announcement07:17 — Bilbo, Thief in the Night10:02 — The Great Goblin12:55 — Giant's Boulder vs. Astrolabe16:27 — Does Giant's Boulder Work With Scry Payoffs?17:40 — Thirandil, the Elven King19:40 — Inside Information21:36 — Bilbo's Gambit24:30 — Bilbo Is an EDH All-Star26:29 — Plunder the Trollshaws27:39 — Riddles in the Dark28:48 — Riddles vs. Fact or Fiction30:14 — Just Play Three Wishes31:27 — The Eight Cards That Matter32:00 — Why We're Happy the Power Level Is Lower32:40 — Returnal Durdles & Locked Formats33:00 — Submit Your Own Legacy TakesTimestamps
