🎙️ Episode 100 – Everything Matters: Mastering Legacy with Ecobaronen

To celebrate our 100th episode, we’re joined by Legacy legend Andreas Petersen, better known as Ecobaronen, for a deep dive into the mindset, theory, and precision play that defines competitive success in the Legacy format.

🧠 From “Everything Matters” to cantrip theory, body language, sideboarding psychology, and the art of practice, this episode is packed with high-level insight from one of the format’s most respected players.

🧩 What We Cover:
– What makes a true Legacy format expert
– How to practice like a pro (and evaluate your own plays)
– The “Everything Matters” philosophy explained
– When to trust heuristics vs reevaluating every decision
– Sideboarding strategy, bluffing, and paper vs MTGO
– Cantrip sequencing, tempo shifts, and mindset mastery
– How to play without fear, tilt, or result bias

What should Legacy look like in 2025? In this episode of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, hosts Philipp, Daniel, and Peter dig into the format's philosophy. From fast combos like Oops All Spells to the slow death of control decks, they debate the key elements that define Legacy's identity. Should Legacy have a "turn 3" rule like Modern? Are 4-mana spells still supposed to win you the game?

Plus, we break down the pillars of the format, how to measure when a deck is too strong, and why some cards feel unfair even when they’re technically “fine.”

The In Response crew breaks down the return of Blue-Black Reanimator in Legacy following recent bannings. Troll of Khazad-dûm is gone, but the archetype is back—and possibly stronger than before.

In this episode, we cover:

• The new streamlined build (Entomb, Reanimate, Atraxa, Aon)

• Why 19 lands and 2 Undercity Sewers matter

• Comparing Reanimator to Blue-Black Tempo in strategy & threat profiles

• Sideboarding tricks to conceal the combo plan

• The role of graveyard hate in the current metagame

• Hypothetical bans: Entomb? Tamiyo? Atraxa? Nothing?

Plus: Why Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student might be quietly dominating—and how it could be the next card on the radar.
