Are legacy cards dying out? The cost and availability of these cards are unsustainable. Now with WotC pushing modern cards, I think legacy cards will die out.

Nah, the cards are fine. The format, on the other hand? Who knows.

I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine. Catpoints: Spoiler:

What are catpoints?
A way of measuring how much I love you.
How do I get catpoints?
1: participate in my forum games/contests.
2: make awesome posts.
3: destroy Carthage.
What can I do with catpoints?
You can ask favors of me. I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have.

The format is going anywhere for awhile at least. There is a fairly large Legacy community that isnt going to just disappear.
But in the long term? If WOTC doesnt change their reprint policies I can see the format running into some serious sustainability issues 10 or so years down the road.

No worries- legacy is easy and cheap. Build a deck of 60 basic lands, then when you play, just ask your opponent if he'll rock/scissors/paper for the win. Whoever goes first In this format wins, anyway, so if you bluff well, it doesn't matter what your deck is.

That is true. And yet, unfortunately, I do see the logic of the position that abandoning the Reprint Policy would spell doom for Magic: the Gathering.
Of course, I'm (somewhat) well known for suggesting a third alternative: that Wizards could print "official proxies" of the cards it cannot reprint - print pictures of those cards as the "art" for full-art basic lands. Magic with proxies, after all, is isomorphic to Magic without proxies.
That way, the game can survive without upsetting the collectors.
