Today, I was finally able to trophy twice in a row on Magic Arena, and both times with a Jeskai draft deck. As mostly, I was playing a Premier Draft. Having played more than 700 limited games in this format, I believe that I have a good understanding, finally.
After going quite well during the Arena Open, at least for my standards, I was experiencing a quite rough patch for some dozen games. I realized that I was avoiding to draft Boros and Mardu which does not make sense, if you want to consistently win in Limited – you just have to play the best cards and most synergetic decks!
I found that Jeskai is pretty strong to, and to this date, my only 7-0 has been with Jeskai as well. My two trophy decks today were as follows:
The first deck was featuring some of the best Jeskai cards with Flamehold Grappler, Narset, and the Shrinekeeper.
The second deck had both planeswalkers – probably the best mythic rares in Tarkir Dragonstorm.
There will be only a few more drafts for me in this format, and I am looking forward to finally play some Final Fantasy. However, I will try to move a bit further up on the leaderboard for TDM on 17lands. Currently on rank 31 with Nummy and dafore “in reach” is already pretty good, I guess:)
