Legacy's got a Final Health Index of 69.2, which is decent, but suggests some room for improvement. The format feels generally stable, but there are definitely some decks to watch out for.

Looking at the numbers, the Metagame Diversity score is a solid 73.9, indicating a pretty diverse field. The Archetype Distribution Score is high at 91.4, so we're seeing a good balance between different strategies. However, the Event Growth Score is a concerning 50.1, so people are playing, but they aren't going to events. But, the Player Growth Score is a strong 89.0, showing player counts are actually increasing. The B&R Health Score is a middling 65.0.

Right now, UR Aggro is the deck to beat, sitting at 8% of the meta. Dimir Tempo trails at 5%, while Eldrazi Aggro and Dragon Stompy are tied at 4%. Decks like Death & Taxes and Maverick are present, but only make up 2% each. Keep in mind that AGGRO takes up 35.6%, CONTROL takes up 17.2%, and COMBO takes up 47.2% of the meta.

The Legacy community is buzzing about the rise of Initiative-based strategies and how to counter them. The Reddit threads highlight players experimenting with new tech and adaptations to classic archetypes. There's specific chatter around Orcish Bowmasters and its impact. The B&R announcement didn't shake things up; the feeling is "wait and see," especially concerning decks like Oops! All Spells.
