Managed to spike this weekend's #MagicArena Historic Metagame Challenge on the first try using Black Market Creativity, great against linear decks! Now if only I could do this well at the Opens...

I think I fought 1 UW control, 1 Rakdos midrange and 5 aggro decks
For reference, here's a guide I followed for this deck: https://mtgazone.com/historic-1-mythic-rakdos-black-market-creativity-deck-guide/

Threw away some gems on the Arena Open today, my sealed pool had some high-end bombs but felt otherwise mediocre:
hbg_arena_open.png - lost game 1 to skanos
- lost game 2 to monster manual into hourglass coven =/ (into skanos again)
- sigh. lost game 3 to Oyaminartok
Welp. That was terrible.

I managed to do 3 drafts tonight. Unfortunately, I had the time because they all had terrible outcomes! Not good for a final episode.

Drafting some more Baldur's Gate! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtghbg
First draft went very well, finishing with the 7-2. Second draft was a much worse 3-3, but both drafts combined to make the day profitable.

Drafting some Baldur's Gate again! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtghbg
The drafts today seemed good, but due to a mix of misplays and mana screw, I only got to 4-3 both times.

Did 5 runs on the Standard Challenge on #MagicArena with the below Jund list. Didn't get there but that's a pretty good 72% win rate!
Record Gold Packs 3-1 +0 +3 2-1 -500 +1 4-1 +500 +5 0-1 -1500 4-1 +500 +5 (Click photos to view full-size)
The event was still available, so I tried a Jund list from the recent Japan Championship and did poorly.
Record Gold Packs 1-1 -1000 0-1 -1500 Sigh.

Got back home in time today to throw away some gems on the #MagicArena play-in sealed qualifier. Honestly thought the second build could go the distance, but maybe I sacrificed too much power for consistency. Jund build went 0-2. UW went 2-2. #mtgsnc
