The upper bracket in the Magic: The Gathering double-elimination round at Mythic Championship III is complete with Nelson and Shenhar claiming two of the four final slots for day three.

Nelson (Esper Hero) is dominating competitive MTG Arena Standard play after going undefeated on day two of Magic: The Gathering Mythic Championship III. He also went undefeated during the MPL Weekly War of the Spark split, which earned him a day one bye at MCIII. And now he’s in the top four at Mythic Championship III.

Always humble during interviews, Nelson changed things up as he entered the final match of the day against Matias Leveratto with a Babe Ruth entrance.
