The History of Legacy (2004 – 2011) – Part I | EP.206
In this episode, Julian, Kai, and Matt take a deep dive into the early history of Legacy, back when it was still known as Type 1.5 and barely resembled the format we know today. From photocopied banlists on store pinboards to Underground Seas costing pocket change, the hosts explore how Legacy emerged out of Vintage’s...

Callum Passes Priority | EP.205
This episode begins with a familiar Everyday Eternal drift from mild tech complaints into a broader reflection on how Magic communities organize themselves now. We talk about the loss of centralized content, the fragmentation across platforms, and the quiet nostalgia for a time when everyone knew where Legacy discourse lived. Along the way, we touch...

Callum Smith
On international level, Callum put his name on the map with a Top8 at the 2017 European Legacy Championships in Paris. Yet his impact on Legacy extends well beyond just his finishes, and has established him as one of the most influential deck developers in the format.
Equipped with an unmatched instinct to recognize the power of new cards, as well as the potential for innovation in established strategies, Callum is the mad scientist of Everyday Eternal. Having played three Legacy GPs, Callum famously lost to Julian in two of them, somehow not winning the one he managed to avoid him.
Following several guest appearances, he joined Everyday Eternal as a regular host in 2020.

Julian Knab
A local grinder since 2005, Julian started making a name for himself internationally in 2013, becoming everyone’s go-to expert for the Legacy Elves deck he won a record number of Cardmarket Legacy events & Bazaar of Moxen with.
Ever since 2018 he has transitioned into a content creation role, most famously producing four seasons of the Legacy Premier League, and the official Eternal Weekend coverage. He pretends to be a streamer every once in a blue moon and has done live event commentary for events around Europe, China and the United States.
Often invited as a recurring guest, Julian eventually took over executive production of Everyday Eternal in 2017.

Kai Sawatari
Kai is an inspiring reminder of constantly reinventing yourself and staying on the move. Once a singer, violinist, and (for a hot minute) a judge, he relocated from Tokyo to Berlin to set up his art studio and join the podcast in 2022.
One of the fastest-growing new artists in Magic, Kai’s addicting style not only keeps us coming back for more tokens & alterations. With booths at events all around Europe, some of his original paintings are even decorating living rooms from all around the world.
One might almost forget that he’s one of the most-respected Doomsday players in the format, and used to terrorize both Europe & Asia with Ad Nauseam Tendrils.

Dr Matt Pavlic
Matt is one of the old school pillars of Legacy. Hailing from the shores of Vancouver, he has participated in tournaments around the world and holds the record for most Recurring Nightmare activations in history. He is a well-known connoisseur of Beta cards and once stored an entire set ziploc’ed inside a bank vault. If you ever bought Beta duals west of the Mississippi, chances are Matt was involved in one way or another. Originally just a grinder & collector, Matt has also organized tournaments in both Canada and the US and is one of the founding members of the Everyday Eternal Podcast.
He also suffers from practices an obsession with Siege Rhino, and gets unlocked as a host only on special occasions.

I love listening to Everyday Eternal. A German and a British gentleman talking about Legacy in a super friendly way is what I didn’t know I needed! I enjoy their walk down memory lane, the top tier special guests they bring on the cast, and the analysis of the evolving Legacy metagame.
Andrea Mengucci
Everyday Eternal is consistently excellent. Both guests and hosts are some of the best in the game and the content gets into the depth of Magic: the Gathering you otherwise rarely get into – but really need to in order to improve as a player. And if that wasn’t enough, the episodes are also very entertaining. Highly recommended listening!
Hans Jacob Kuhlmann Goddik
Legacy is my favorite format not because of the gameplay but primarily because of the community and the steady stream of content produced for it. Everyday Eternal is my favorite resource for the latest news, in-depth analysis and a warm welcoming atmosphere.
Marcus Ewaldh
Everyday Eternal is a great resource for competitive Magic players looking to level up their game. The podcast hosts Julian Knab, Callum Smith and Matt Pavlic hold a well-rounded view of the Legacy format, and their enthusiasm is second to none. It is required listening for anyone serious about keeping their pulse on the format’s development.
James Hsu
Everyday Eternal is the top tier when it comes to Eternal content. They work with data, experience and theory with the people that are on top of the format and masters of specific decks, it is truly a work of art unfolding. I would highly recommend listening if you like to dive deep into a format, become better, chart new terrotories with hosts that are kind, energetic, smart and witty.

The History of Legacy (2011 – 2017) – Part II | EP.207
In Episode 207 of Everyday Eternal, the crew opens with the most important topic in competitive Magic: YouTube tab management and the shocking discovery of the “Watch Later” button. From there, things spiral naturally into German döner purity laws and fox meat conspiracy theories. As always, the banter flows effortlessly before pivoting into Magic history,...
