It finally happened! After disavowing ranked constructed play on Magic: The Gathering Arena, I was somehow lured back by my competitive nature. For months I’ve been playing Historic Brawl [Commander] which isn’t ranked. Honestly, a much better experience. I was enjoying my time spent on Arena, but earlier this month, I was seduced back to ranked Historic gameplay. I’ll blame it on being a Leo, but at least this time, I did emerge victorious. After weeks of slowly climbing the algorithmically corrupt ranks, being forced to lose games with the Wizards of the Coast thumb on the scale, I hit mythic this afternoon.
In this video, I I started recording during the last two games before reaching that milestone. I play with predominantly two decks; mono-black Liliana tribal and mono-red Torbran. Most of the time, Torban gets the job done, but again, I swear the algorithm knows when you’ve had a number of wins with one deck. I’ll usually switch to the other deck when I start amassing loses and the change seems to be effective. I tend to post pack opening videos here on Hive/@threespeak, so I thought some gameplay would be a nice addition to my video feed. Thanks for watching!
