rewards from legacy events should be done in blocks the ability to pull the rare reward from both sets would be far preferential

This is a very good idea honestly. A great way to breathe life into Legacy events and give a fun chance to completing those collections. I still think that Mythic prizes in Standard should never happen, but can't see why legacy cannot.

I have 8 mythics from ogw and zero from bfz. I'm never going to buy those packs. I'd literally be flushing my crystals. It would be nice to have a means to acquire those cards and I can almost guarantee it would encourage more participation. I'd even be moderately pleased if they added "chance at mythic" I still play because I might pull a mythic in the prize packs, but I sure don't put much effort in. I don't even try for objectives. I would if a mythic was on the line. Even if it was a monthly mythic reward. Just throw us a bone.
You cant really use the argument that if we let people collect all of the mythics they will get bored with the new set if we also refuse to let them collect the mythics for older blocks.
The developers have to be aware that end game players pretty much play for those new shiny cards. The fact that the elusiveness has become 1 every month or so has really ruined the fun of this game for me.

Though the chances are tiny, one can pull a mythic card as a reward even if one wasn't top1.

Though the chances are tiny, one can pull a mythic card as a reward even if one wasn't top1. QB's "chance at a mythic" created a huge and ever growing power gap. "Tiny" is any understatement. New players would never have had a Chance at ever reaching the top 10. I know, because I was one of them. I tried like crazy though. Watched the list for months from November 2016 to when QB ended. The same small very elite group of players always scored the top ten. Their powerbase continued to grow whereas newer players would never, ever see such rewards. QB was fun, but for prizes as a whole for playing, it was a joke. Standard was a much needed blessing. Now a Standard QB would be some thing. A legacy QB would still deny newer players a chance at completing sets. I like the legacy events idea. Restrictions via objectives makes for better odds for all to get a mythic.
Once again you are thinking about this in the wrong way. Your complaint is you couldn't compete in QB because the rich kept getting richer.
The solution was to make everyone poorer by removing QB, nerfing prizes for contest, and reducing odds of getting mythics from packs (by giving us less packs per crystal and by removing the rare "or better" feature).
A better solution: Enable more people to compete by giving more generous drop rates, more affordable exclusive cards, a crafting system that could target cards, etc. If everyone could ultimately collect the whole set with enough time, effort, and/or money then some people would complete the set quickly, while others would take much longer. But ultimately everyone would/could get there who wanted to.
Also, you only needed to be in the top 50 to get a guarantee rare in QB which had the potential to get upgraded to a mythic.
Sarahschmara said: Quite a few of us acknowledged the power gap and argued that the best solution was to help enthusiastic new players acquire cards as quickly as possible but the crab-bucket mentality won out. There were too many vocal players that wanted to drag the top down instead of lift the bottom up and the result was as predicted.
