Covertgoblue Hits Mythic #1 & Historic Anthology 4

03/08/21 • 102 min

Two exciting things happened this week!

Firstly, resident BO1 expert Covertgoblue finally reached his dream of hitting #1 Mythic on the ladder. No small feat, no matter what part of the season and which deck you play. He sensed he had an opportunity, he ground for it, and sure enough, it was his for the taking. Hear him discuss the meta, his decision making, and how he managed to finally get there.

Then, of course, came the announcement of Historic Anthology 4, the next injection of new cards into Historic. Although some interesting cards are included (Death's Shadow, Blinkmoth Nexus, Thraben Inspector, Inspiring Statuary, to name some), the majority of it reads like leftovers from recent Remastered sets, as well as some flagrantly unplayable cards from Magic's past. Overall, we have NO IDEA why this particular subset of cards was chosen, but here we are, and it's set to release March 11th. Take it or leave it.

BONUS: Jank to Mythic with The Goat, John Darnielle

Today we're privileged for the opportunity to interview John Darnielle, founder of the Mountain Goats, acclaimed author and avid geek. We discuss his penchant for hitting Mythic on Arena playing absolute jank. It's no easy task, which makes his 5-season streak that much more impressive. We talk about his entry to geek culture, his pathway to Magic, and how he became one of the most notable jank slingers on MTG Arena to date.

Find John Darnielle at the Mountain Goats' homepage, and we highly recommend following him on Twitter for his fascinating tweets, Magic-related and otherwise.
