Ever dreamt of owning a Mythic card? The latest Mythic Draw saw the one-of-a-kind 'Citadel of the Gods' card on the line, and thus that dream came true for one mortal in particular.

Tell us a bit about you!

My Gods Unchained username is FlexyFlexy and I have been a gamer for a long time and have felt very passionate about crypto and NFTs since I became aware of the concept. I accidentally helped start an NFT project named "The Block Times'' and am very happy that I have moved away from working as a financial advisor. I'm from Alta Loma, California, which is near Rancho Cucamonga, in Southern California... I say dude and bro a lot.

How long have you played Gods Unchained for? 

I have played for so long that I forgot when I started. I can say that Gods Unchained captivated me in a way I had never experienced because I thought it would be incredible to have real ownership in a digital game. Wow, it kind of just hit me with how lucky and grateful I feel for winning the Mythic. What just happened!?

"Wow, it kind of just hit me with how lucky and grateful I feel for winning the Mythic. What just happened!?"

How many tickets did you have in the Mythic Draw? 

I had 2,500 tickets on this account and not too much more on the primary wallet. RNG worked! I am as random as it can be. I can testify the Mythic ended up in hands that were never expecting a chance at winning.

How did you react when you found out you won the Mythic?

I reacted in total disbelief, I kept looking at the email thinking, who wins the lottery via email? I asked my friends Sean and Zak to make sure it seemed authentic, then I had help from Soleone in Discord to place me into total shock. I missed the actual Mythic Draw stream, but watched the Shadow Draw stream and enjoyed both of them. I prefer the sequel for personal reasons and can't imagine what I would have done if I was watching at the time.

We haven’t seen too many Mythics at play in the Arena. Will you use the Mythic in-game or trade it on the marketplace? 

I have NO plans to sell this NFT. My goal is to find ways for people to enjoy NFT gaming and hopefully provide entertainment by putting the Mythic into play. I did create an account on Twitch "thechosenmortal" where I hope people can come and enjoy themselves while we put the mythic into play and discuss a variety of topics.

Have you made any great trades on the marketplace?

I have made tons of trades on the marketplace! I loaded up on Jasons and Demogorgons. My biggest regret was selling a Diamond ‘Griffith The Chosen’ for about $1,700 to pay my mortgage. I was sad to see that card go but genuinely look forward to the chance to play with the incredible ‘Citadel of the Gods’. Thank you to the Gods Unchained team for creating an amazing game that continues to provide myself and others an outstanding experience, I can't wait for the story to continue!

Citadel of the Gods brings all the champions to the Arena, who is your favorite champion from Trial of the Gods and why?

Lysander. I have always enjoyed the thought of Light prevailing.

You requested the Citadel of the Gods to be delivered on a very specific date. Want to tell us why?

It’s my mother’s birthday! I felt like I could look at this date and associate it with the idea to remind myself of the importance of enjoying special moments in life like playing an NFT game with friends.

The next Mythic card won't be found in a draw, as we're moving on to ensure all players have a chance to get future Mythic cards, but you'll have to wait to see what we've got cooked up for the next expansion.

For now, you can see thechosenmortal show off the Mythic card in action alongs Copperpitch in an upcoming video.
