The top two players from the final South German Legacy event earned invites to the European Legacy Masters. Although Alexander Maier did not score one of those top slots in this event on June 21, 2026, they did accomplish something much cooler: a new way of serving Breakfast!
Maier's build featured a full playset of Loki, God of Mischief, which made waves when first spoiled for potentially reviving Cephalid Breakfast after the banning of Nadu, Winged Wisdom. While I speculated about using Karakas as a way to trigger and protect Loki, God of Mischief and Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student, Maier used old Legends favorite Tolaria as a way to trigger Loki, God of Mischief without diluting the number of -producing lands.
Finally, a maindeckable answer to all the banding plaguing Legacy!

Many of the card choices in this list are nods to support Loki, God of Mischief, including the Relic of Progenitus, which is a recurable way of drawing cards — something the more-often played Soul-Guide Lantern doesn't provide as well.
Mishra's Bauble is also not a commonly seen card in Breakfast strategies, but Loki, God of Mischief turns it into a -mana draw two.
Notable cuts are one fewer Urza's Saga than typical, and the absence of Cavern of Souls in the 75.
While Loki, God of Mischief was worth getting excited over, I'd argue that Tolaria seeing legitimate Legacy play might be the better headline.
Breakfast is served.
