🎙️ Episode 100 – Everything Matters: Mastering Legacy with EcobaronenTo celebrate our 100th episode, we’re joined by Legacy legend Andreas Petersen, better known as Ecobaronen, for a deep dive into the mindset, theory, and precision play that defines competitive success in the Legacy format.🧠 From “Everything Matters” to cantrip theory, body language, sideboarding psychology, and the art of practice, this episode is packed with high-level insight from one of the format’s most respected players.🧩 What We Cover:– What makes a true Legacy format expert– How to practice like a pro (and evaluate your own plays)– The “Everything Matters” philosophy explained– When to trust heuristics vs reevaluating every decision– Sideboarding strategy, bluffing, and paper vs MTGO– Cantrip sequencing, tempo shifts, and mindset mastery– How to play without fear, tilt, or result bias

What should Legacy look like in 2025? In this episode of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, hosts Philipp, Daniel, and Peter dig into the format's philosophy.
