## Resource

What if Legacy only included cards that went through Standard? This week, Zac is joined by Arkratos to explore Heritage , a community-driven Eternal format that preserves Legacy's foundation while excluding supplemental products like Modern Horizons and cards that never entered Standard. The result is a familiar—but dramatically different—format that continues to evolve with every in-universe Standard release. In this episode we discuss: What Heritage is and how it differs from Legacy Why Standard-only card legality creates a healthier metagame The impact of removing supplemental products Why cards like Bowmasters and Modern Horizons staples aren't present New archetypes built around Moonshadow, Archmage's Newt, and Likeness Looter BUG Beans, Dreadnought, Cradle Control, and Mono Black innovations How Heritage handles bans independently from Legacy Why community-driven formats continue to grow How to build a local Heritage community and get involved today If you've been looking for an Eternal format that still evolves—but at a more manageable pace—Heritage may be exactly what you're looking for.
