Izzet Redemption Or Failure? | Pioneer Masters Draft | MTG Arena

[@thornthallid950]

I like that Numot was surprised by Liliana being in the format, when she's on the screen between every round 😅

[@arashinoguardianyeah9083]

59:37 What I would have done in this situation was bouncing my own rimrock, recast the adventure on champion, kill hero of iroas and replayed my grimrock or even salvo if i really want a clean board. Still hits for 4 and gets rid of hero, putting you on the offensive.

[@borsamsa8518]

Exactly what I was thinking! Plus you get the value from champion

[@serenolopez-darwin1975]

Yep, thought the exact same...seemed obvious to me?

[@Mike-ww3ix]

I had a draft just today where I picked Chromanticore in a gates deck with sylvan caryatid, a couple district guides to search for gates, and 2 gate summits. Ended up going 7 wins with it. Had a couple games where I won by Bestowing Chromanticore on a Nessian Asp with monstrosity paid. Great fun. From what I've seen the gates deck doesn't seem to be too bad.

FYI, I think it's the Izzet mainland that's the infinite combo card with that 4 cost artifact creature that gets +1/+1 whenever you activate an ability,

[@luvstolaugh2117]

I was the playing the r/w deck that forgot about the dragon mantel. Very embarrassing I didn't even realize until I watched it back here lol. Good game!

[@MicahCohan]

Rebound, I remember there also being a two mana white combat trick

[@chrisfrancis1759]

Izzet possible?!

[@r.mar.673]

That hero of Irois used to be a rare too.

[@g.n.s.]

Anchor is really cool; I always forget it’s only 3 mana.

[@JaddBoyden]

In Dota, it is pronounced "eye-dough-lon", but I believe you are correct.

[@reidyo5404]

How do you build your deck for that sire of insanity? I had two in a sealed pool but ignored it because I didn’t get it.

[@JimboMonkey007]

There was a chance for glory with Crackdown Construct!

[@DiviTon]

Sire of Insanity is good? I could see it being somewhat decent in a deck that has a low curve versus a control deck, but it seems highly mid to me. Kind of bad even. What am I missing?

[@andrewkuhn6796]

If you play Sire of Insanity on turn 6, unless they have instant speed removal for a 6/4 they immediately lose all of their potential answers and are living off the top deck. If you were on the play they don't get to cast their 6 drops. Usually players still have a few excess cards in hand on turn 6, you don't mind discarding your hand because you can plan knowing it's coming and you get a 6/4.

[@DiviTon]

@andrewkuhn6796 Yeah, that still doesn't sound great though because you are also living off the top deck and a 6 mana 6/4 is pretty weak. I could see it being okay if your entire deck is 2-3 mana cards that you can empty by the time you draw Sire, but I doubt this card ends up with a good win percentage.

[@StealthSuitStanley]

I believe you should have been orhzov in this draft…

[@saldiven2009]

In before the bots.

[@ryanselle3778]

Izzet ? It is !

[@JBH2989]

Tubers assemble

[@cerotidinon]

Searched a little too long for that Maze's End deck, so I thought I'd share the link: kzbin.infoTtF9CXWT_00?si=SCh9J58Uu_o36GUF&t=11213

[@RKlovecraft]

My first game of pioneers i went 7-1 with a golgari deck with dictate of erebos and the return to hand skeleton and extort 😮
