After going undefeated in day one of Mythic Championship V, Chris Kvartek is back in MCVII after finishing in the top sixteen of today’s MTG Arena<\/em> Mythic Championship Qualifiers (MCQ). <\/p>
Playing a Golgari Adventures deck, Kvartek <\/a>was one of the few who chose not to play Oko, Thief of Crowns. During day two of the MCQ, Oko appeared in a total of 68 decks with 270 copies. <\/p>

Kvartek wasn\u2019t interested in playing the safe route with Oko following the ban on Field of the Dead<\/a>. The key card in his Golgari Adventures was four copies of Noxious Grasp (also known as the Oko, Nissa, and Teferi killer). <\/p>
Much like Kanister\u2019s Golgari Adventure deck in the MPL Sapphire Division Eldraine<\/em> split playoffs<\/a>, Kvartek relied on three copies of Rankle, Master of Pranks. He also included two copies of Liliana, Dreadhorde General and three of Vraska, Golgari Queen. <\/p>
