MtG Arena Speedrun — 15 Wins (Historic) in 41:51 w/ Tibalt's Shepherd
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2021-02-02

Me in 2020: I think that sub-one-hour is possible, but it isn't going to be easy.
Me in 2021: How about I just casually get a PB by more than 24 minutes?

This run was wild! You haven't lived until you've taken a mulligan all the way down to two cards in hand and still won (outside of Vintage, no less,) yet that occurred at 1:00:26. Likewise, winning the mirror because they countered your Tibalt's Trickery with their own, only to then be unable to beat a pair of 1/1s, is quite the rarity as well.

Amidst the silliness, I have to give my shoutouts to Zim, the recurring character of the run, aka top 10 recurring characters in anime. MtG Arena is not supposed to let you play against the same person back-to-back, yet I came across Zim back-to-back-to-back on camera. I even called out that I would be paired against them next, and wouldn't you know what happened next‽ (What we had was special, and I shall always cherish our time together…)

When I asked what people thought that the final time would be (https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyOw3DRR62SbYtKKep4AaABCQ), the closest answer came from Rukalin, and it was nearly 15 minutes off. This really was a lot more of a jump than was expected, it seems.

Here's the decklist, so feel free to copy and tweak the ever-living heck out of it:
Creatures (6)
4 Allosaurus Rider
2 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
Instants (4)
4 Tibalt's Trickery
Lands (50)
4 Aether Hub
1 Cragcrown Pathway
2 Cryptic Caves
4 Desert of the Fervent
4 Desert of the Indomitable
6 Forest (which should be 3 Cragcrown Pathway & 3 Rootbound Crag)
4 Forgotten Cave
4 Ketria Triome
4 Mirrodin's Core
6 Mountain (which should be 3 Sheltered Thicket & 3 Temple of Abandon)
1 Rootbound Crag
1 Sheltered Thicket
4 Stomping Grounds
1 Temple of Abandon
4 Tranquil Thicket
