After finally hitting mythic limited last week, I finally managed to pull off what is probably the hardest achievement on #MagicArena: Mythic Champion - double mythic for the month! Had to cram like maybe 200 games in the last 3-4 days so I could make it in time!
I was switching between different formats depending on how I was doing:
Standard: Izzet (such a miserable format)
Pioneer: Golgari midrange
Historic: Jund Goyfs (winningest one)
MTG Arena’s nascent union faces “optional” meetings, letters to homes, and management closing ranks
After SEVEN YEARS of playing #Mtg on #MagicArena I finally got to limited mythic!!
Now I have to try to grind constructed from plat3 to mythic in the last few days of the month because I may never get the chance again to hit the double mythic achievement!
Lol it was a good morning
Like I'm honestly kinda upset by this, I was *actually looking forward* to seeing another Omenpaths set which meant I didn't have to look at the Spider-Man set and hopefully wouldn't have to look at Marvel Superheroes. I am going to be, five years from now, a massive Omenpaths Truther, convinced those cards were 'better.'
Terrible news everyone. It seems that the much-anticipated upcoming Through The Omenpaths 2 set has been cancelled, and what's more, our wonderful Omenpaths cards are being replaced with this other IP, this 'spider man' stuff.
I've been playing Magic: Arena since the first wave of invites to the closed beta. It was TODAY that I realized that even though importing a decklist which contains cards you don't own puts it wayyy down at the bottom of your decks it still selects it, so you can just hit 'Edit' instead of scrolling all the way down to find it.
This is perhaps the most batshit crazy of batshit crazy UI choices I've seen in Arena.
No, I did not actually run 72% land in my Secrets of Strixhaven draft. But this particular game I got most of the mana from my deck in the first few turns. 13 out of 18 cards being lands, I think that is a record for me.
If it hadn't been for Decorum Dissertation I would probably have given up. Quickly drawing through 2 lands at a time is less frustrating than drawing 2 consecutive lands for turns on end.
Decorum Dissertation definitely won me the game here.
