  • Final #mtgstrixhaven stats on #MagicArena. I’m glad they send out these summaries. Looks like I haven’t managed to hit mythic since Kalhdeim. The limited format was pretty fun though. #MTGArenaStats

  • Threw some gems away again on this month’s #magicarena #mtgstrixhaven sealed open, ended up playing Silverquill splashing red since I had Professor Onyx and Lukka.

  • Wednesday evening Strixhaven quick drafts! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Two quick drafts today! Finally managed to get 7 wins in quick draft by forcing silverquill aggro! Well, maybe the Lightscribe helped a lot!

  • Monday Strixhaven quick drafts! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #twitter #mtgstrixhaven

    Did two quick drafts today, both were mediocre, but one was slightly better than the other. Probably one more QD stream this week before sealed open on the weekend!

    YT episode split into two because the stream hiccuped in the middle.

  • Saturday Strixhaven quick drafts! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Rare-drafted a bunch (I think 6 in the deck and 4 in the board), but still got a decent enough deck. Didn’t perform well though, had some bad keeps

  • Friday afternoon Strixhaven draft! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    I thought I drafted a couple of decent yet average decks, but didn’t perform too well, had a couple of bad draws. A poor end to my Strixhaven premiere draft run

  • Throwing away gems on Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Internet was weird today so stream was on and off. Probably won’t have the full episode on YT (maybe just the last few matches). But spoiler alert: I was able to break my unlucky streak with some Quandrix + Prismari goodness!

    Okay, I was able to record the draft itself locally, so this draft has two videos. In order:

    Part 1 (draft): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skUg-kWzq_g

    Part 2 (last few matches): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SuXcPVm0YQ

  • Thursday afternoon Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Two poor drafts again today. I might be hitting a ceiling now that I’ve ranked back up into Platinum D:. Have to do better!

    I didn’t even rare draft this time!

    Looks like I’m finally paying for all the good luck I had over the past few days; I did two drafts today and both of them were terrible!

  • Wednesday afternoon Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #strixhaven

    Had a great draft! I went Quandrix+Prismari and managed to go 7-2. Very explosive. One of those losses was actually due to the server giving me a defeat without even going to a match, so I might even get reimbursement!

  • Thursday afternoon Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Went Silverquill, only finished 4-3, mostly due to a really bad misplay on my part in the last game. Decent outcome, but could have been better. I did manage to rare-draft a lot though lol

  • Monday afternoon Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Only one draft this session, but I had a lot of fun! Mostly because it was my first 7-win of the season, but also because I drafted an insane quandrix deck with the other 3 colors splashed, and won 3 games off Approach of the Second Sun. I never got to activate codie though!

  • Saturday afternoon Strixhaven draft(s?)! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgstrixhaven

    Managed to do 2 drafts today. First one with Witherbloom only went 3 wins, but I managed 4 wins with the second one using Quandrix before a matchmaking bug ended my draft prematurely (hopefully we get reimbursed!)

  • Friday afternoon Strixhaven sealed! https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #MTGStrixhaven #twitch

    Ended up with a 3 hour stream doing 1 sealed and 1 draft. Didn’t finish too well, only went 4-3 in sealed with silverquill and 3-1 in draft with lorehold, but it’s a decent enough start. I like the set so far and looking forward to trying out the other houses!
