This is one of the more straightforward archetypes to play and doesn't require a crazy collection or vast knowledge of the format. Let's take a quick look at a typical list for each, and what the deck is trying to do. Here are the ones I narrowed the search down to: When trying to decide on Burn or another playable and relatively inexpensive deck, I researched a few options.

Part of the reason I wanted to write this article is to highlight some of the easier decks to jump into the format with. If you're unaware, Legacy is a format that includes cards from every Magic set in history, which provides some very powerful and entertaining game play.
