Hi! I am Vertyx, and I would like to welcome you to my Mythic Decks of the Week article for the last week of 2023! I will go over the most interesting decks that made it to Mythic on MTG Arena in the last week of the year! Let’s take a look at all the decks that people reached Mythic with!
A strong part of black in this deck is its ability to interact with the opponent efficiently with disruption like Thoughtseize or removal like Fatal Push or March of Wretched Sorrow so you can do more than just burn the opponents life total.
And the last surprise element of the deck is that thanks to being mono-black, its quite easy to cast Necropotence and refuel your hand with new cards. And sometimes you can even turbo it out with Dark Ritual if both of the cards line-up well in your hand!
Second deck to cover is Timeless Rakdos Anvil by DjMaffiXD!
This deck is very low to the ground like some shadow variants for example so it mostly plays 1 and 2 mana cards, but its main gameplan is centered around artifacts instead!
Now lets get into the artifact part of the deck! First you will probably want to resolve cards like Ornithopter, Oni-cult Anvil or even Yotia Declares War so you can get some tokens and thopters onto the battlefield.
When you get that settled you can then use cards like Deadly Dispute, Retrofitter Foundry, Overcooked or even Yotia Declares War where all of them let you use them for your own advantage in various ways, either it be sacrificing them for cards, damage or pumping them up to attack!
Switching formats, lets take a look at Standard Rainbow Humans by Pierfrancesco1987!
Mono white humans has been a contender in the format for a while so most people are familiar with it. This deck takes its shell and upgrades it with some powerful effects and creatures from other colors which is now possible thanks to the printing of a bunch of rainbow lands!
Now that we got the core cards covered, lets take a look at the reasons this deck plays more colors.
First one is Jirina, Dauntless General which lets you protect your creatures from boardwipes, second one is Katilda, Dawnhart Prime which lets you ramp out your more expensive cards and then grow your team later, and the third one (which is also the last one) is Halana and Alena, Partners which lets you apply more pressure every single turn!
And the reason this deck can plays so many mana intensive cards is the printing of cards like Plaza of Heroes, Secluded Courtyard or Cavern of Souls which let you tap for any color if you fulfill its conditions!
