Legacy in MTG formats is one of the most interesting to watch and play. Players are allowed to use cards from every Magic: The Gathering set and expansion—except for ones that are banned. Additional cards allowed in Legacy are Sewers of Estark, Windseeker Centaur, and Nalathni Dragon.

The Mythic Championship Qualifier begins on Friday, April 19. The winner of the Legacy MTQ will earn an invitation to the Mythic Championship being held in Barcelona. The Grand Prix legacy tournament will be held on Saturday.

MagicFest in Niagara Falls starts on Friday, April 19 and runs through Sunday. There’s no door charge for fans to enter MagicFest. In addition, there will be tournaments featuring formats like Modern, Sealed, and Draft, along with MTG artists showcasing their works and signing cards.

Modern consists of cards in any core-sets and expansions from the eighth edition to now. Like Legacy, there’s a multitude of cards leading to some very interesting decks.

The Modern MCQ will begin on Friday in Yokohama, with the winner earning an invitation to the Barcelona Mythic Championship.

The 2019 schedule for all MagicFest tournaments and locations is available on the Wizards of the Coast Magic: The Gathering website.
