What's the best deck in Standard? Why?
Probably Esper. Just too many good cards.

How does Modern feel with the London Mulligan and the banning of Bridge from Below?
Magic is better in all formats with the London Mulligan rule. Banning Bridge from Below wasn't enough to stifle broken non-games in the format.

I think Wrenn and Six is very good but overall I think the format is fine.

Probably Scapeshift, but Feather is the best in my heart.

Horrible. Chalice and Karn are still too good.

How would you rate the health of Legacy following the release of Modern Horizons?
Wrenn and Six leads to some unfun play patterns with Wasteland, but it's pretty healthy outside of that.
