The biggest story leading up to the tournament was of course the recent banning of Sensei's Divining Top, which shook the format to its foundations and left many players scrambling for replacements or adjustments. In total, 437 players entered the Legacy main event of MKM Series Frankfurt 2017 to fight for fame, glory, and a grand prize of €1,500 in MagicCardMarket.eu credit.

Eight different deck archetypes made it to the playoffs, five combo decks alongside Grixis Delver, Aggro Loam, and Stoneblade. The combo decks proceeded to weed out the others, and in the end it was former Miracles player Johannes Gutbrod, using Sneak Attack/Show and Tell, who finished his second Top 8 at the MKM Series with a win.
