This interest reached a height with MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, on which William spent considerable time up until college. William’s first console was the NES, but when he was eight, it was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Game Boy that fully cemented his interest in the format.

All the while, William’s passion for games remained. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, William entered the realm of fine arts administration, assisting curators, artists, and fine art professionals with the realization of contemporary art exhibitions.

Additionally, a number of Simic Flash decks are playing Magic: The Gathering's Oko, Thief of Crowns in the sideboard at the event. Indeed, a primary incentive to play one of the aforementioned Food strategies is Oko, but these are not the only decks at Mythic Championship 6 that are playing the Thief of Crowns, as Sultai/Four-Color Sacrifice, Temur Planeswalkers, Bant Ramp, and Simic Adventure/Quasiduplicate are all playing the powerful Planeswalker in the maindeck. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering Devs Address the Power Level of Oko, Thief of Crowns This is truly a staggering percentage of the metagame, and it makes one thing perfectly clear: Oko, Thief of Crowns is an extremely powerful Magic: The Gathering card. Specifically, 63% of the decks being played at MTG's Mythic Championship 6 are Food decks, with Sultai Food, Simic Food, and Bant Food being the three most-played decks at the tournament.

Fortunately for these fans, a recently-released Mythic Championship 6 metagame breakdown fully clarifies this matter. In the weeks leading up to the tournament, Food decks have come to dominate MTG's Standard format, and many fans have been wondering exactly how prevalent this powerful strategy would be at this weekend's event. Yesterday marked the beginning of Magic: The Gathering's Mythic Championship 6, and around 500 players are now busy battling it out for a chance at the event's $500,000 prize pool.
