M21 draft Episode 6 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #m21
FINALLY managed to hit 7 wins in M21 draft! This is also the SEASON FINALE for M21 draft for me I think. Maybe more limited when Jumpstart comes around?

M21 draft Episode 4 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #m21
Draft was mediocre, but I had fun so that’s what’s important right? Right?

M21 draft Episode 3 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #m21 #twitch
Had to do 3 drafts just to jump from Gold 1 to Platinum lol. 1 draft was terrible, 2 were mediocre. 3rd draft was a WG deck (no screenshot here). At least I finally got to try some archetypes other than WB!

M21 draft Episode 2 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #m21
Draft deck was fine, games were terrible; lots of misplays. Last chance tomorrow to rank up before rollover!

Got my internet back and immediately did an #m21 draft. 5-3 isn’t great, but I guess it’s not bad for a first foray? #mtg #magicarena
Cube draft is about to rotate out, let’s waste some gold #mtg #magicarena
After some back and forth from Diamond 1, this filthy casual finally hit Mythic with some weird totally unoptimized Gruul thing. #magicarena #mtg
That grind from Diamond 1 to Mythic is always the worst =/ #mtg #magicarena
Took me a few tries, but I finally managed to get to 7 wins in Arena Cube draft (with a control deck no less!) #mtg #magicarena
I forgot to take a screenshot because I was so confused, but someone finally gave me a 3-0 split with Atris lol. #mtg #magicarena

Played some Historic Merfolk last night on #twitch, forgot to tweet about it #mtg #magicarena https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHMULYRXj7g&feature=youtu.be
Got stuck in this state after winning the game. Bug I guess? Lol #mtg #magicarena

Ikoria draft no. 16 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgiko #twitch
Ugh, did two terrible drafts. Tried two different decks for the first one.

Ikoria draft no. 14 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgiko #twitch
I totally screwed up the broadcast for this draft due to playing around with some settings. Still exported to Youtube anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uqnm9t3U6c (The draft itself also went poorly!)
I got disconnected too! Then I played one more so here is draft no. 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mbmyqm-_NM It also did not go well, though I liked this deck better.
Ikoria draft no. 13 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgiko #twitch
Today’s draft went well! I forgot to take a screenshot though so below is a still from the stream.
YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl1QfJDmMDQ
Ikoria draft no. 11 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgiko
Ended up doing two drafts because the first one was so terrible, so these are Ikoria drafts 11 (RWb) and 12 (GBu)
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X8DW-AyyUw
Ikoria draft no. 10 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgiko
Not as good as the last one of course, but still pretty decent. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olPqkl47BJk
Oops, here’s the draft deck
Ikoria draft no. 9 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgiko #twitch
7 and 0! Best Ikoria draft so far! I even won one game where I was stuck on one color for the first 6 or 7 turns!
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_7Cm7QxbD0
Ikoria draft no. 7 (contd) and maybe no .8 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgiko
Back half of draft no. 7 didn’t go well, but draft no. 8 went a bit better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQeobS_CEYY
Ikoria draft no. 6 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgiko
Ended up doing one and a half drafts on-stream because no. 6 (R/W) was so terrible. Paused no. 7 (B/W) at 3-1 and will pick up tomorrow. Youtube export: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQeobS_CEYY
Ikoria draft no. 5 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgiko
this was the worst draft so far, but a lot of it was due to all my misplays D:
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teI3qgm8Wmk
Ikoria draft no. 4 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgiko #twitch
Draft no. 4 went better than 2 and 3, but still not as good as 1.
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXsHUlQ6qtU
Ikoria draft #3 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch
Went a bit better than draft no 2, but still can’t replicate the magic of no 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW05mOuqgfc
Ikoria draft #2 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy
Unfortunately, the draft didn’t go well! Mediocre pool paired with technical difficulties. Had to split the videos into 3 parts due to network issues!

Finally managed to get to 5 wins in #MagicArena cube sealed with this pile #mtg
Thanks!
I haven’t gotten my code D:.
Is there a way to confirm which email address I had used? I forget if there was a confirmation mail
Okay, this #MagicArena event is pretty sweet (Ashiok currently still 0-3 though)
Thanks for the wildcards Oko! #mtg #magicarena
OMG I’m finally done with this horrible coin flip of an #MagicArena event. This was only slightly worse than last week’s Elk madness. Only 1/3 of this months events were great, bleh. Should’ve just had one of them be brawl!
I got free 10k gems on #MagicArena courtesy of @urlichmtg ’s giveaway. Many thanks!! :D
As a software developer, I wouldn’t trust the effort estimate of anyone who hasn’t even seen the codebase. Heck, I would still be fairly suspicious of the effort estimate of anyone who is actively working on the codebase.
I went 5-2 running Bant Golos. My wins were vs Monoblack aggro, Monoblack vampires, two Golgari decks (one conceded after I Treachery’d his 6/6 Questing Beast), and I forget what the other one was (definitely not monored or the mirror)
Losses were to mono-black aggro (I had the realm-cloaked giant for the wrath, but failed to notice I didnt have two white and played the wrong guildgate the turn before) and to the mirror (I got 2 field of the dead first, but he had kenrick and agent of treachery + teferi to take my fields =/)
Welp, not gonna make it lol.
PREDICTED FINAL LEVEL: 84
AVERAGE HOURS TO LEVEL 100: 78
Thanks!
Of course the suggestions from Wotc twitter (Bob, Bolt and Wurmcoil) are a bit ridiculous. I imagine that a lower power level would be needed. Historic needs to differentiate itself from Standard but not be as ridiculous as modern, and build up slowly but surely. I would like to see cards that had their time in Standard but haven’t really found a good place in Modern. I don’t agree with those saying it should be Origins-forward though, I think that’s unnecessarily restrictive.
Some of my initial ideas (the first 10 are color balanced, but the rest are not):
Knight of the White Orchid
Keiga, the Tide Star
Korlash, Heir to Blackblade
Pia and Kiran Nalaar
Wren’s Run Packmaster
Ojutai’s Command
Shadowmage Infiltrator
Demigod of Revenge
Huntmaster of the Fells
Dauntless Escort
Siege Rhino
Cruel Ultimatum
Desolation Angel
Mystical Teachings
Char
Kessig Wolf Run

I seeeee. Thanks. It’s weird because the crown icon wasn’t in the help popup when I hover over the creature
Thanks!
Sorry, noob… how do you track your matchups?
