Hello everyone,

I run U/B control and use Lost Legacy in my sideboard. I'm wondering what other cards or mechanics people can think of that it can exile? I'm debating about going down to one, currently run two.

So far, the useful cards I've exiled are Mechanized Production (shut down whole deck), Fevered Visions (screws up control and U/B lacks enchantment hate), Paradoxical Outcome (shut down Aetherflux Reservoir deck), and Liliana, the Last Hope.

I originally put it in to get rid of Scrapheap Scrounger, but quickly learned the limitation of this card. However, shutting down entire decks with one card is pretty darn efficient.

What combos or cards do you run that would be disadventageous against Lost Legacy?

Thank you for your help!

You can use it against Emrakul, the Promised End in Aetherworks decks. That's what I use it against in my B/G delirium deck.

@Delta-117 Emrakul is a creature, so Lost Legacy doesn't actually work there.

@EmblemMan That's actually not a bad idea. I'm sure naming Disallow would ruin those decks.

Lost Legacy hits any Non-land non artifact card. So yes, it does hit Emrakul, the Promised End. I run it in the sideboard usually, its dead in a lot of matches unless you really know the meta. U/W Flash the two best cards to name are Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Archangel Avacyn  Flip. R/G Pummeler doesnt really have a good target for it, nor does R/W Vehicles. Marvel decks its good to rip Emrakul out as previously stated. Just know the meta well or put that card in your sideboard.
