HOW 3 PLAY A LEGACY CONTROL DECK in 2025 + beyond! Episode 3: PLAYING FROM BEHIND educational league

Welcome back to JamesKisau's series on how to play control in Magic's Legacy format! In the last (second) episode we discussed how strong knowledge of the Legacy format will help one make better decisions based on what's on the board, what resources the opponent has access to, and historical precedent (meta). This time we'll take a look at how to play from behind. Since control decks don't have the inherent benefit of a clear plan like most Legacy decks, we'll often find ourselves playing from a disadvantaged position. Navigating out of these will be crucial to piloting a Legacy control deck to success!
