Based on what I've heard from others, I wouldn't be surprised if just getting to mythic at all in limited is enough to be in top 1200, since the number of players getting to mythic in limited is much less than in constructed. (ie. If there are less than 1200 players who get to mythic in limited it doesn't matter how much you play now since you can't drop out of mythic)

The only meaning the numbers have right now beyond bragging rights though is just that 1200 is the cutoff for entry to that one (constructed) tournament, so if you don't care about that then just play as much as you want. (It is free entry though, and if nothing else you'll get gems if you win a match)

My friend tried to get top 1200 not too long ago, for entry into the last tournament (around the Sealed Open that did the same I think?). Despite the less populated limited ladder, there were still enough people for it to become VERY competitive in that last week. Rank decays pretty aggressively, and you have to maintain pretty high WR to make the cut. They fell out of ranked trying to maintain 1200 status from 800 and couldn't do it.

I dont know the tournament schedule so that could change if it's a lower-stake one. And 400 is a pretty high starting rank. Things could be different, idk.
