💪 Testing For PTChicago! 💪 - ⚪🔵 - Azorius Control - (Pioneer)

[@deli_9697]

I actually really like facing control members honestly almost entirely because of that article you wrote about facing against control a few years back, completely changed the way I saw the deck

[@xaropevic7918]

What is the name of the article?

2024 MTG in a nutshell - the black midrange creature deck outcarding the azorious control deck.

[@adambuff1743]

I love Jim but I also see loving that black deck give that blue white Garbage control deck The business

[@deli_9697]

Play Pauper or legacy or Penny dreadful if you don't like that

[@demiurge2501]

That’s the whole reason midrange works

[@ryanryan8849]

@@demiurge2501it’s traditionally aggro beats control, midrange beats aggro, control beats midrange.

[@Weregoatee]

​@@deli_9697but like, golgari gardens outcards control in pauper too.

[@CardDontShoot]

Always fun watching Jim play UW.

[@Talyyn]

It's bananas I'm still here. Appreciate the hard work of making UW Control entertaining, Jim!

[@gpeixe]

Jim playing UW control? This PT is pioneer? Is this the dream?

[@savagesnadgaming7252]

I really like 2 copies of Intrude on the Mind, 2 Memory Deluge and 1 Dig for my card draw in this list. The extra threat from Intrude has really come in clutch in the mirror and can also help with blockers after a sweeper against aggro. Fun list though. UW Control has game against everything in the format currently. Hardest matchup is a fast convoke draw and Amalia combo imo.

[@bryceknoch413]

I almost never comment on KZbin videos, but it's absolutely BANANAS that this video is 2 and a half hours long. Jim, I love watching your content, and I feel like watching your game play makes me a better magic player! Keep up the awesome work, thank you sir!

[@doylerudolph7965]

Four weeks late here but this video was pretty bananas. I definitely feel your comments about Pioneer UW control - the deck just feels gutless so often.

[@doublee343]

It’s always a treat to see my favorite MTG creator play my favorite deck in my favorite format! :) Edit: banana 🍌 This league also shows some of the main barriers for arena players trying to get into pioneer. They really gotta add bring to light and those missing lotus field cards.

[@pocketwatched]

That last match was bananas, I like this codeword game. I get to prove that I'm sticking with you through thick and thin.

[@Jerm0510]

F6'ing your turn into victory is a pretty bananas line, solid flex bro.

[@as95ms98]

That last match was absolutely bananas!

[@Nemesis-Rising]

That match was bananas, hope you found a deck that’s more your speed. Good luck out there.

[@alchemy3830]

I have more success with my deck; veto, march, farewell, and teferi are two-ofs; I added two narsets and two disspiates. The critical mass of sweepers lets me stabilize easier against creature decks even if the first doesn't outgrind them and I meet midrange more than tempo so Sunfall beats out Verdict and Narset is a valuable lock piece. Sideboard cuts seedsharks to hold verdicts for the tempo decks.

[@kunstderfugue]

Two and a half hour video of Jim playing UW control? This is heaven. This deck is so hard to play, it's understandable that some misplays are had

[@BosSoxFan15]

If there are two things I enjoy in life, its a good banana and watching azorious control go to work.

[@chapeldweller]

Banana Edit: Digging the behind the scenes look near the end there.

[@DrChocolite75]

Yessir jim on control love to see it

[@geeksurge]

Control deck matches are bananas

[@francescogulisano2917]

I have absolutely no idea how it's allowed to cast Tibalt from Bring to light. You can explain the rule to me, but it's absolutely clear that that's not how it's supposed to work, just like when cascade spells could be used to cast Bust form Boom/Bust

[@lordgod9958]

At 52:54 should have get lost on niv on their turn then lockdown, lockdown clears the maps which is a key part of why it's so good in this deck

[@michaelnoel1852]

This Deck is almost Arena Viable, except for the Hallowed Moonlight.......... I've Always loved the Azorious Control, and even the Jeskai Control Decks...

[@walrusassociation9317]

I love 2 mana counter spells so much

[@joshuanovack480]

whats your guys favorite food token? Mine is the one with the curly banana.

[@Billy-ei8od]

Do you have a sideboard guide for this decklist?

[@camprolph6159]

banana :)) keep up the good work magic man.

[@billmoney1]

Cool a new video! Oh.... it's two and a half hours because it's blue white :|

[@crazyclir]

Hey mate, what do you use for managing sound effects?

[@AndreDenofrio]

Hey big banana, Nice vídeo.

[@joephan3708]

New MTG player here and wanting to get into pioneer. Would anyone recommend this or Izzet Phoenix in terms of ease to pilot?

[@franktomaskovic1716]

Bananas these games were

[@Jack-in-the-Mox]

is there a reason were not on meticulous Archive?

[@PuddingZebra]

What is yellow and curved? It be the codeword!

[@FlourescentPotato]

Tbh I think your playstyle isn't optimal compared to people who main the archetype. It requires that extra small % edge of precise decision making to win games, more so than most archetypes

[@placidlaughter]

Banana 🎉

[@ShadowKaras666]

It's a good deck but I do think you're using the wrong build. There isn't enough interaction or draws, dig is waaaaay to slow for the format

[@MalaciTheNinja]

Banana!

[@pizzalad589]

absolute banana moment

[@KrypticKodex]

Are you the dude who jumped off the diving board in that sum 41 video? Crazy you started playing mtg...

Is chrome host seedshark in the sb better than kaheera as companion?

[@xaropevic7918]

Probably, at least is the most popular sb, personally I prefer those sharks despite cats tribal being extremely funny

I genuinely don’t think people will get banana. I skipped into it. But holy hell is it boring to play again control

You can always concede
