Welcome back, hope everyone has had a good week so far. Today I play a deck that got me to Mythic on MTG Arena! It's a sweet deck and it is kind of like a hybrid between a ramp deck and a control deck. I felt like I had a good chance to win every match I played, which in turn means the deck does have a lot of decisions. And if you choose wisely, you will get rewarded.

Let us go ahead and look at the decklist!

Time Stamps:

00:01:29 - Match 1

00:13:45 - Match 2

00:42:53 - Match 3

01:01:05 - Match 4

01:15:06 - Match 5

01:37:07 - Match 6

Elder Gargaroth is in a great spot since it just eats up Goldspan Dragon and any other fliers from Rogues or Izzet Flash. The deck has a lot of removal and countermagic to answer any threat, you just need to play your cards at the right time. This exact list I play in the video is a little different than my final list, the one I got to Mythic with, so I will also link that deck list!

Here is the Mythic list!
