Hi, my name is Omri, I'm 18, and I'm a competitive Magic player. I'm one of the youngest players to hit #1 Mythic on MTG Arena (at 16), and my best finish in a season is #8 with a overall record of 119-21 in high Mythic. I'm an expert in all constructed formats on Arena, but I'm a Historic specialist, best known for my work on the Kethis and Yawgmoth archetypes in Historic.


7 New Historic Decks With Wilds Of Eldraine
Hello, and welcome to another article. Today, I'll be going over my favorite theorycrafts for Wilds of Eldraine, including pre-existing decks that get big upgrades, and some entirely new decks as well. Let's get right into it! 1) Soul Cauldron Kethis Importable decklist: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5830687paper (20fec02d-77af-4975-b410-7097c7c28e7e|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/2/0/20fec02d-77af-4975-b410-7097c7c28e7e.jpg?1651655696|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513)(66024e69-ad60-4c9a-a0ca-da138d33ad80|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/6/6/66024e69-ad60-4c9a-a0ca-da138d33ad80.jpg?1685554120|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513) Up first on the docket is the Kethis Combo archetype. This deck is built around abusing Kethis, the Hidden Hand's activated ability to storm off with mana from Mox Amber and Relic of Legends, and self-mill from Jace, the Perfected Mind and Emry, Lurker of the Loch. Kethis is already one of the strongest decks in Historic, and it gains a very interesting card from WOE: Agatha's Soul Cauldron. Agatha's Soul Cauldron has a ton of different synergies in the deck. The foremost is simply giving any creature Kethis's abilities. The entire deck is built around Kethis's activated ability, and being able to slap it onto any creature with Soul Cauldron if you've got a Kethis in the graveyard is very strong. But there are still many other things you can do with Soul Cauldron.

The Top 20 Cards from LCI for Historic
Hello, and welcome to another article! Today I'll be going over the 20 best cards for Historic from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. Ixalan is one of the most powerful Standard sets we've gotten for a while, and I'm looking forward to playing with a lot of cards in it! Without further ado, let's dive right in. 1) Molten Collapse Molten Collapse is my pick for one of the best cards in the set for constructed, certainly one of the top cards for Historic. Dreadbore and Terminate have been at the fringes of Pioneer and Modern for a while, and Molten Collapse is a lot better than those two. The reason I'm so excited for Molten Collapse for Historic in particular is because it's perfect for a deck I've been working on lately, Rakdos Bombardment. (17416926-168b-49b3-9231-acbb8f8a1d13|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/1/7/17416926-168b-49b3-9231-acbb8f8a1d13.jpg?1557577188|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513)(ec6430c0-67c1-4793-b4be-8f47545c57d6|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/e/c/ec6430c0-67c1-4793-b4be-8f47545c57d6.jpg?1664411902|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513) Built around combining Goblin Bombardment and Mayhem Devil with cheap sacrifice fodder like Unlucky Witness and Goblin Trapfinder, Rakdos Bombardment hoses most aggressive decks, including UR Wizards. It has one major flaw, which is that Mono-Green Devotion is a bad matchup. However, Molten Collapse is amazing against Green, just imagine destroying Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner and Utopia Sprawl with one card, or Karn, the Great Creator and Pithing Needle. By shoring up that weakness, Molten Collapse could take Rakdos Sac from being a just great deck to being the best. If my overview of Sac piqued your interest, check out my in-depth guide on it on my Patreon. 2) Spelunking Spelunking is a very interesting card that calls back to Amulet of Vigor, but with an Explore stapled onto it as well. In Historic we don't

Top 5 Decks In Historic
Hello, and welcome to my first article for Metafy! Today I’ll be discussing the top 5 decks in Historic currently. This list is in order from most to least powerful, however, all five of these decks are similar in power level and are all good choices if you’re looking to craft a tier 1 deck. 1) Golgari Yawgmoth Importable decklist: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5819327paperGolgari Yawgmoth is a combo deck built around Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, and its synergy with Young Wolf and Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons. This deck often plays as a midrange deck, slowly out-grinding the opponent with Yawgmoth and The One Ring, however, it has the ability to win as early as turn three with a semi-infinite combo. What is the Yawgmoth Combo? Requisites: 1 Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, 2 Young Wolf (0c39aa40-ef5f-40f1-a6dd-fbce91172c50|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/c/0c39aa40-ef5f-40f1-a6dd-fbce91172c50.jpg?1562897786|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513) 1. Sacrifice a Young Wolf if needed so that one has a +1/+1 counter and the other doesn’t.  2. Sacrifice the Wolf without a counter targeting the Wolf with a counter.  3. Repeat step 2 as many times as you like, each time losing a life and drawing a card each time.  4. Throw in a Prosperous Innkeeper to not lose life, 2 Innkeepers to gain a life per activation, or a Blood Artist to kill your opponent. Throw in a Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons to get a 1/1 snake per activation (and gain 1 life with an Innkeeper).  What is This Deck's Game Plan? (3e0f6ae6-b303-405a-8efa-91de9692768e|https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/3/e/3e0f6ae6-b303-405a-8efa-91de9692768e.jpg?1592711564|8c4060b4-af1f-43a6-8eb8-cb4f2a19d513) Assembling the combo is how this deck ends the game, but in the early and mid-game, your focus is
