The Legacy format is looking relatively stable, but with potential trouble on the horizon. Our Final Health Index comes in at 69.1, suggesting things are generally okay but not perfect. We'll need to dig deeper to see what's contributing to that score.

The Metagame Diversity Score is 72.0, which is decent, while the Archetype Distribution Score is a high 91.3, meaning things are nicely spread out. However, the Event Growth Score is a concerning 50.1, indicating a decline in event attendance. On the flip side, the Player Growth Score is a strong 89.0, so more players are joining, even if fewer events are firing. The B&R Health Score is 65.0, which is middle of the road.

Looking at the Top 10 decks, UR Aggro and Dragon Stompy are tied at the top with 5% each. Dimir Tempo sits at 4%, followed by Eldrazi Aggro at 3%. Death & Taxes is at 2%, while Canadian Threshold, Ninja, Artifacts Blue, BUG Midrange, and Maverick are all at 1% or below. The super-archetype breakdown shows Combo leading at 51.9%, followed by Aggro at 32.2%, and Control at 15.9%. This is a notable shift from the historical 5-year averages.

The community chatter on Reddit reveals a continued focus on Delver variants like UR Delver, as well as discussion around Mono-White Initiative. Orcish Bowmasters is a key card being discussed for its versatility. The B&R announcement indicates a "cautious approach" with no card changes. The community seems cautiously optimistic, though concerns remain around entry costs and the power of certain decks.
