My Magic: The Gathering Arena Journey to Mythic 2/17/2019

Hello all! I have been playing MTGA for a couple weeks now and I decided I want to start documenting my journey to mythic ranking and I want all of my fellow Steemians to join me.

So far I just have one deck on MTGA and that is mono red. I am a fairly experienced mono red player as I seem to start with mono red in every format before I move to some sort of Gruul or Naya midrange deck and I expect that to happen in this journey as well. I really love just not caring about what my opponent does and sending spells directly at their face. As long as you can count backwards from 20 to 0 then you should be able to pilot a mono red deck with some success. Here is the deck I have been working with recently and I have had some pretty decent success with it.

I started the day being ranked Gold 4-0. That means I am on the first level of gold tier and I do not have any notches to my belt. As you know, each gold tier has 4 levels before you move up to the next gold tier.

I started off the day pretty terribly as I lost the first 6 games in a row. On the bright side, I had my opponent at 1 life in 3 of those games so that shows promise but unfortunately I just couldn't get the job done. The middle of the session I seemed to not be able to pick up any steam as I started to lose right when I won. I finally rounded into form in the last third of the session as I won 5 of the last 6 games. Here are my statistics for the journey to Mythic.

Wins: 9
Losses: 11
Win Percentage: 45%
Starting Ranking: Gold 4-0
Ending Ranking Gold 4-4

Here are the stats against the various archetypes. It was pretty fun playing against a lot of different decks today

I will be back tomorrow with some more games. I can't wait to take you guys on this journey with me.
