Legacy: Physical attendance drops despite diversity.

Legacy is currently maintaining a decent level of stability despite intense metagame pressure, as reflected by the Final Health Index of 72.5. While the format is functionally healthy, we are seeing concerning participation trends. Paper attendance is declining at a rate of -3.8% monthly, and overall event growth is also down slightly at -1.2%. This suggests that while players who are engaged are enjoying a balanced game, the format is struggling slightly to attract or retain new physical competitors.

On the health metrics front, the game remains diverse, logging a strong Metagame Diversity Score of 76.5 and an exceptional Archetype Distribution Score of 94.8. The super-archetype breakdown shows a close fight, with Aggro leading slightly at 43.1% compared to Combo at 38.4%, right in line with the historical five-year average. This archetype split reinforces the community sentiment that Legacy is currently defined by proactive power, demanding immediate answers from all competitors.

Looking at the Top 10 Decks, UR Aggro remains the undisputed frontrunner, claiming 10.8% of the meta share. The field drops off significantly after that, with Eldrazi Aggro taking 7% and Dimir Tempo at 6%. Aggro strategies dominate the chart, taking up six of the ten slots listed, with examples including Mardu Aggro and Boros Aggro. While Artifacts Blue and BUG Midrange are lurking in the middle, the week clearly belongs to blue-based tempo and colorless threats.

The current environment is dominated by the integration of *Modern Horizons 3* cards, leading to intense flux. The key community focus is "Nadu Legacy," a new combo strategy utilizing *Nadu, the Wisp-Bred* that many players find too consistent and resilient. Despite these concerns, the B&R Health Score sits at 65.0, and the analysis supports maintaining the status quo, signaling cautious confidence in the format's stability for now. Blue decks are still thriving, frequently utilizing *Flare of Denial* for protection, while non-blue strategies rely heavily on *Orcish Bowmasters* to check opposing card advantage engines. The consensus is that Legacy is accelerating quickly, prioritizing efficient, high-impact threats over slower control elements.
