Nillstan lol ikr?

This deck has at least lost Veil of Summer

There aren't enough Nexus decks being played since then for me to get an updated version.

I remember you from days of yore.

I dropped out of the competitive Standard scene and have just mucked around with Planeswalker decks with my hubby and friends. It's a relaxed way of playing with lots of variety.

I just grabbed the Oko deck. I know it's not THE Oko, but I'm interested to see how Simic fares, nonetheless.

Pioneer has interested me. Going to play my first tournament next week with a deck that might do OK.

It's an original brew that looks a bit like Mike Sigrist's Izzet Thopters, but mine has secondary wins cons with unblockable creatures, and goes with Whirler Rogue rather than Pia and Kiran Nalaar

It is also mono-blue.

I haven't had to do much to make it Pioneer, as it was already Frontier legal. I did have to add three Walking Ballista , though. Ouch.

What have you been playing lately?

Since I'm personally adding new competitive Pioneer decks all the time, if you want to keep up with what's new, I suggest following me.

Alternatively, just keep checking the gauntlet folder I have linked here a couple of times.

ToolmasterOfBrainerd we did have trouble tonight with one of the rules.

Turns out that we should have Googled it, as an explanation was available.

The trouble was that it was a rule that only the players could see, and I was the traitor. I'm usually the one in the group who thinks to Goggle rules.

It didn't really make that much difference to the outcome. Pretty sure they would have won either way.

This was my second time playing it tonight with my playgroup.

The game is also made by Wizards.

I really like it. The mechanic where one person gangs up on everyone else is fun.

Our Haunt tonight took place after only two Omen cards had been picked up. From memory only three players had taken a turn.

It was a very complex Haunt, but I guess Wizards likes complex games.

It's easier for me to help you via email.

This seems to do OK vs Izzet Phoenix although I haven't run any tests post Sideboard.

I just had a thought, and it's not an original thought, and an expensive thought, so sorry ...

... but Smuggler's Copter would REALLY help to smooth out the draw with this deck.

That way you wouldn't get stranded hunting for certain things.

Of course there is removal to worry about but, better they get rid of that than Pummeler .

You could also think about maybe using Steel Overseer to pump Electrostatic Pummeler .

If you had a few more Artifacts you might then be able to use Inventors' Fair to tutor Pummeler .

Probably too many thoughts in there. Use or ignore as you see fit.

Mostly because I've given up on this build to focus on another secret one.

Also, there are some cards I just can't get to work for me. Soul-Scar Mage is one of those.

Re: Planeswalkers Vivien, Arkbow Ranger has a second ability which is interesting.

Her first ability is also relevant for this deck.

(Yep, always trust Argy to mention a card which is on no one else's radar.)

Other than that, in these colours, combat damage or burn are your best bets.

I've always liked Fated Conflagration , and Stoke the Flames or Exquisite Firecraft might be worth consideration.

Of course you've already got Pithing Needle

Heroic Intervention might be a good substitute for Veil of Summer

Just tested this against Burn and the results weren't great.

I can see why you have the Electrostatic Pummeler in the Deck - to make it more Aggro.

It isn't really fast enough to out Aggro the Aggro Decks in this format.

It does surprisingly well against Control.

The other thing I've noticed, now that the playtester is co-operating, is that there are quite a few times I am waiting for another land to drop.

I'd try to put at least one more back in.

Also I agree that Once Upon a Time isn't that great in this deck.

Most of the time I am hitting a lot of non-creature spells.

Sorry, I'm not coming up with many suggestions for improvement, just testing results.

Aethertorch Renegade may be an alternative win con.

I like it better than Voltaic Brawler , which can only be pumped up once - note that it has a triggered, not activated, ability.

I'm just starting to test this deck so this is just an initial thought.

Remember Servant of the Conduit ? Given that you have so few lands that might come in handy. It's also a sneaky way to get a couple of more

Personally, I used to prefer Sage of Shaila's Claim , as it gives one more , and you are happy to use it as a blocker.

I remember you, Pabs4444 - nice to catch up again on one of clayperce's Pummeler decks.

Feels like old times!

I approve of this latest ban.

That card was everywhere in the meta.

Of course it now makes all the decks I added to the testing gauntlet obsolete.

Arclight Phoenix remains untouched.

WOTC stated that they wanted to make Saheeli Rai still accessible for other potential combos they had seen.

Pioneer doesn't show for me on the Format forums.

Is it somewhere else?

Once you learn how to do it I would suggest that you use backgrounds that aren't too busy.

Sometimes you can hardly read the text.

Check out my profile for the type of background I think works well.

Wow Veil of Summer banned.

I did see it in every deck, but I didn't feel it was overly oppressive.

Mind you, I have been testing with a deck of mine that sits outside the meta (what else is new?), but does spectacularly well.

I'll try to take a look at this and your other deck tonight, mate.

☻

Cheers for that.

I was just thinking that I need at least one or two more decks for the gauntlet.

Added it. Thanks.

Can I suggest that you add "by [name]" to the title of the deck?

I've found that makes it very clear who built it.
