Control Decks Like This Bring Me Joy | Pioneer Masters Draft | MTG Arena

[@ethangilworth7891]

Decks like these remind me of why I enjoy this format. I am absolutely salivating for Duskmourn to be back though.

[@joelakat]

Duskmourn is back on Premier Draft early! I never left Foundations for Pioneer Masters so I'm happy to have another format I love back for the next couple weeks.

[@Illyduzit]

That‘s such a cool Deck Man. Love your Content/Drafts and learning a lot from you. Keep it up Dude ❤

[@haumph]

TY

[@randallflynn3772]

Definitely a good choice to Splash red.

[@bonkstephenson4803]

Love this set dearly, archetype imbalance withholding, it's just an infinite nostalgia cyclone for me of my favorite era of magic

[@alexanderanglin8160]

Couple of notes all positive 😂, I am begging you for you to fire off nothing but Duskmourn premier drafts when they are queueing, I found your content when Duskmourn was first out and thats when you became my morning routine. I also believe that outlaws of thunder junction follows in the premier draft cycle as well as march of the machine right before aetherdrift and I would love to see you draft those formats again. Specifically March of the machine because you weren’t making your daily draft videos during that format. Either way I will watch your daily video with whatever you decide. Much love Paul, thanks for the videos.❤

One quick Duskmorn draft just a primer before premier (re)launches makes sense, and I'd enjoy watching!

[@MotivatedPony]

Diskmourn an Wilds of Eldraine are my FAV sets by a long shot, I would LOVE a Duskmourn draft 😉😊

[@Journeyman2585]

I would love too see some more duskmorn!

[@XxRobDeBobxX]

Control decks: where fun is a zero-sum game, but you're having all of it so who cares :^)

[@mattgreen753]

lol

[@thoventhegamer1526]

I've actually been enjoying this set quite a bit. Feels like a second core set almost. This is the era of magic I grew up on so some of these cards just really feel classic, especially the Theros creatures. Looking forwards to Duskmourne next week though!

[@anttimtolonen4741]

Here's my two cents: I've drafted both UB and UBR Control in this format a bunch. Drafted two UB in MtGA Open and did really well. Couple of the games in the Open were super close and I did briefly consider going above 40 cards, but still decided against it. I feel like diluting the deck is too much of a cost. Especially in a pod with good drafters like Day 2 drafts in the Arena Open.

[@Hitsu1]

Thanks for the video Paul. Definitely think the cat is out of the bag for red for this format. The last few drafts I have done, the red dried up so fast....

[@budrothefox3666]

I love quick draft. Its budget friendly, i can take my time drafting if im in a chill mood and i cam still turn gold into gems. Also nice when a set is new foe learning. I completely understand its different than normal draft but i do both. I think if youre a free to play or budget arena player quick drafts are a solid way to build card collection and have some fun along the way

[@haumph]

didn't think about it that way but you're totally right.

[@maxreis9534]

UB(x) control is my favourite archetype in darft. and this is a very nice deck

[@Rob-ch1fy]

Cruel revival becomes better the more self mill you have, yeah the good zombies exile themselves, but if you often end up with one in the graveyard because of archaeologists and butlers then it works really well.

[@benistoneman9737]

Love watching these videos. Great plays. Some of those Grindy games I was just thinking should’ve picked up one of them 4/3 fliers that scry. Could have closed out a few games sooner

[@haumph]

I think that card is quite bad and am generally not interested in playing it. The stats on it are just too underwhelming for this format I feel. It's possible I should have taken the late gurmag angler over the izzet guildgate though.

[@benistoneman9737]

@ fair enough. That’s why I like watching your videos and learning. Great stuff. Looking forward to duskmourn

[@Vito95mc]

I swear it could be duskmourn premier draft too.

[@TMidander]

I would vote on Pioneer Masters until we get a different Premier option :) but up to you, ofc!

[@cameronhewitt7883]

Do a quick draft do it

[@mathijs1987j]

Please include a few Momir drafts in your next video! It's so fun! (Maybe you did in this, didn't watch till the end yet.)

[@patrickgonzales7825]

It’s so evident how you auto-pilot whenever you play a control deck. You’re at your rhythm and you dictate the pace of the game. Love watching your vids. I’m excited for next week’s DSK drafts, but I’ll take whatever PIO content there is ‘till then.

[@haumph]

I definitely enjoy a good control deck!

[@VeritasX7]

Is it just me or is foundations leaving earlier than most standard sets? Also I think I remember you saying you have family in the L.A. area, so I’m wishing them the best.

[@italianyourjourney]

Can someone explain why bloodthide harvester is good?

[@haumph]

Great stats for a 2 drop, can act as a removal effect, and gives you filtering. The amount of flexibility and value that you get from a 2 mana creature is incredible.

[@italianyourjourney]

@haumph I see, I definitely have to try it myself. I was surprised to see it in a cube and I didn't understand why it was there. Thanks for the reply, good videos ;)

[@charhurhur]

I like quick draft because I don’t buy gems and can frequently play them but both the rewards structures, and the bot picks are ridiculous

[@SystematicOtter]

I have lost a couple games to self mill but the value in this format is too enticing. Also got got by a gamer who went Sphinx's Tutelage --> Crypt Incursion --> Day's Undoing after i played several butlers and archaelogists, it was devastating.

[@bevrosity]

not a huge fan of foundations so I'm okay this 😅

[@LibertyPanacea]

Retiring Foundations made no sense. I won't be drafting til Aetherdrift I guess since I was away from MTG for 2 years and not looking to get stomped in flashback drafts that only last 1 week...

[@daniduc]

I’ll be honest with you - I prefer any premier draft to Pioneer Masters. I don’t play pioneer, so the cards don’t mean much to me and the format in general is not interesting to me (and yes I tried it, and even watched videos about it, constructed and draft). Even if the choice would be between premier pioneer and quick draft of a standard set, I’d prefer the standard quick draft. Of course, it’s your channel and choice and I know I’m just one person, so whatever you decide is fine, just sharing my preference.

[@derecksheppard5913]

Doing these again and again has long since started to get old... Not going to lie.. Need some variety..

[@haumph]

new content right around the corner!
