Pro tip for control from Reid himself: "As it turned out, I had all the answers." So there you go kids.

Reid takes everything in stride and is always so calm and collected. Such a pleasure to watch him play Magic

M1G1 is a great example of why you take wandering emperor with early TS. That card does so much.

2:53:00 Reid there was actually a way to guarantee not dying to double removal. you main phase 1 field of ruin one of the two red open mana lands, even if they have an island left they only have 1 red mana up. that leaves you with the land you get of field of ruin with 5 mana up, enough for a 1 mana shark plus veto.

He could have also YOLO'd a March of Otherworldly Light off the top if he cycled shark typhoon for 1 instead of double activate anchorage. NVM... he only has 1 in the deck and he used it on the land earlier in the game...

frankly it's depressing that pioneer's UW control has a total of 6 non land cards in the main deck that were printed over 5 years ago. Power creep is erasing the game's history even in the formats that are supposed to preserve it.

@@friedspacecowboy8760 it’s really not in the nineties they experimented in design with high power blocks like urea block which would result in turn one kills in standard, and even with atrocious power creep and wanting to sell packs with their high powered new cards the game survived. It’s ok.

I really don’t like deduce myself. I almost would rather have quick study. I mean you’re paying 4 to draw 2 from deduce. And 3 to draw 2 from quick study.

@gpeixe 3 ай бұрын

I think it might be that you have fewer windows to resolve a 3cmc spell in this format. With deduce you pay more mana, but you can afford to pay 2 mana more often in between turns.

@StorkNeck Ай бұрын

The more important part is that on turn 4 it allows you to go deduce + removal/counterspell

After watching this and playing this and against this in standard, I’m pretty sure sunfall is just a better card than supreme verdict. The exile is relevant quite often and the incubate token often wins the game or also has to be removed. I think its worth 1 more mana

@grambo2020 3 ай бұрын

You can just board in rest in peace and verdict = the same outcome for exile. Pioneer alot of times you don't have time for 1 more mana. Verdict is just well rounded cheaper and can't be countered

@highwindjump88 3 ай бұрын

Spell Pierce is brutal against Sunfall. Also, Spirits still sees some play, and Sunfall is countered by Mausoleum Wanderer. Verdict is hit by Queller, but the 1 drop countering 5 mana hurts way more than 3 mana stopping a 4 cost.
