So basically Im returning to the game after like 3 year or so (brothers war or something)
I remember really liking Cavalcade mono red aggro but it fell off, I was wondering if any new cards released since then can help improve the deck. Any ideas?
(Deck shown is what I was running years ago)
Hey! I'm not sure that "dredgeless dredge" is an accurate defenition for this deck but it's the closest archetype I could find in pioneer metagame.
Nevertheless, I need some help improving it.
First, what can I cut and/or add to the main list?
Second, till now I played bo1 with it, but I want to move to bo3, so what could be my sideboard options? My main concern is anti graveyard hate, obviously.
To be clear, I understand that this list and maybe the whole concept is't as strong as the tier-1 pioneer meta decks and I can consider adding some pioneer staples as long as it does't demand changing the idea to much.
This is probably the single most fun deck Ive played since the new set came out. Stingcaster Mage is my Goat. Plays well with Claim // Fame and Tyvar and is just a better Bloodbraid Elf to be honest. I hope yall enjoy and I do want to say Im really close to 1k subs (lets me monetize videos) and appretiate any and all help.
Thanks!
Hello! I know this is a long shot but I played against someone on Pioneer on Arena that was playing a super sick Bilbo list. It has Bilbo, this spider woman with menace? Quantum riddler, the new red samut, k command, sheoldred’s edict and flow state and some other cards.
If you see this can you share your list?! It was super cool to see.
Thank you!
Today it's time for the deck everyone loves to hate: it's Izzet Prowess. We know that this has been strong in the format for a while, but it's got a new card from Reality Fracture in the form of Pompous Battlemage, a new one red mana Prowess creature. Although this one is only a 1/1, it has the advantage of having Prepared and a spell that comes along with it, meaning it can trigger its own Prowess ability and gives you an additional noncreature spell outside of the ones already in your hand.

As the title - wanted to share the list. Worth noting that I played against 4 Red or UR aggro lists, so that skews results (it's a good matchup, just attack and don't let them breathe).
i’m curious what everyone is trying to run through the metagame challenge with? anything spicy? fun? downright metagame killing?
Folks told me the new card they were most interested in seeing was Darklight Phoenix so I quickly (read: moved at moderate pace) recorded a video with it. There's been a few different builds I've seen using it, some heroically trying to run both types of Phoenix in the same deck, but I've settled on a Rakdos Sacrifice shell first. The ability to combine cards like Eyetwitch, Bloodtithe Harvester, Deadly Dispute and the like gives the deck a solid foundation of good cards to build on.

Hey there, I recently moved home from overseas and found a few cards, so I just stocked up my old decks for modern. I stumbled upon pioneer and like the card limitations, but my decks won't convert well.
I had a few stax that'd fit and I was thinking if I could run a aggro/combo UW engine to terrorize my old pod:

or a mono white version:

Are there cards I missed / mechanics likely to clunky / land ratio off? I pretty much haven't played in 7 years, so I am a bit rusty and'd love a few suggestions before I try to surprise-hit me old pals.
Here with my first Darklight Phoenix brew. I think it works best in Golgari Sacrifice so my mind immediately went to trying it in Insidious Roots! It's great here as your main plan is self-milling and sacrificing your board anyway so it lends itself perfectly. Additionally every time the phoenix returns to the battlefield you trigger roots. Priest Of Forgotten Gods is probably one of the best cards to play alongside Phoenix allowing you to trigger the return every turn. Deck is so much fun but the card that impressed me the most was Liliana The Repentant. That card was nuts and now keen to try that in a bunch of shells! Love me some roots! Enjoy

Tyvar, priest, cub is a strong core I've had success with in the past so I figured why not try the new Phoenix with them.
Threw this together because a viewer wanted to see it and things went really well. Let me know what yall think!
