The bracket went exactly as expected with no matchup upsets and play vs draw being relevant in the closer matchups like Hardened Scales vs Hogaak. The top 8 decks had 2 Jund, 1 Tron, 1 Eldrazi Tron, 1 Hardened Scales, 1 Hogaak, 1 Mono Red Phoenix, and 1 Urza Thopter Sword. This is a very different narrative than the 'only 1 copy of Hogakk in the top 8 so the deck isn't that good' that I see some people sharing on social media.

If the limited portion of the event didn't exist and it was just the 10 rounds of constructed, 5 of the top 8 decks would have had Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis in them. I personally value the top 8 numbers less than the overall tournament numbers because in order to make the top 8 of the Mythic Championship, you also have to do well in 6 rounds of limited. My biggest takeaways from this data were that over half of the 20 lists were playing Hogaak, Urza Thopter Sword overperformed, and over 28% of players that registered Hogaak Dredge had an 8-2 record or better. The Modern portion of Mythic Championship was 10 rounds and only 20 players ended up with a record of 8-2 or better, with 9 Hogaak, 2 Hogaak Dredge, 2 Jund, 2 UW Control, 2 Urza Thopter Sword, 1 Tron, 1 Humans, and 1 Izzet Phoenix. The decks that put up the best non-mirror win percentage that weren't in the 6 most played decks were Hogaak Dredge with 7 players at a 60.4% win rate and Esper Control with 2 players at a 61.1% win rate. Of the main 6 decks, Hogaak had the best non-mirror win percentage with 56.2% and UW Control had the worst at 46.8%. After those 6, numbers drop off signifigantly to below 20 for all other decks. These decks all had between 48 and 36 players registered. The 6 most played decks were Hogaak, Izzet Phoenix, Eldrazi Tron, Humans, UW Control, and Jund. The first thing we'll take a look at is the meta of the Mythic Championship. Today we're going to break things down by the numbers of Mythic Championship IV and discuss what these numbers mean for the future of the Modern format. Last weekend's Mythic Championship certainly helped to solidify that. Now, here we are about a month later and, even with the banning of Bridge from Below, it still feels like it's Hogaak's world and we're all just living in it. Last time I wrote an article for Cardsphere, I began by saying that we were living in a Hogaak paradise.
