90sMTG Legacy Championship Top 8 Decklists

On April 19, 2026, a sold-out Hex and Company on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NY, hosted 64 players to compete for glory at the 90sMTG Legacy Championship. For most, it was the first time competing with and against the expected Secrets of Strixhaven powerhouse Flow State, which had just become legal two days prior.

Matthieu Dupuy ranked second overall with four copies of Flow State in his Jeskai deck, which also featured two copies of Monastery Mentor. Aside from that, the Top 8 was absent any additional copies of the dreaded second coming of Expressive Iteration.

The top of the podium was claimed by Herman Lee and their Boros Energy deck — a port of the strategy that has been dominant in Modern with some Legacy upgrades, including Karakas, Wasteland, and Swords to Plowshares.
