This is the deck tech to a Pauper Dimir Control deck I made some time ago. The gist is to play a bunch of instants and sorceries to fill the graveyard early before slamming Tolarian Terror or Gurmag Angler on the battlefield.

    Oh god mill, my favourite deck. I spent way to much of my time to make it work in pioneer, but it isn't really there yet. Biggest problem is that Pioneer is currently to fast and we don't have the really good spells that modern has or the second crab. From what I could gather you eather play traditional mill or Terisian Mindbreaker combo. Later is less of a true mill deck, but still rather fun to play. For traditional mill you want to be in dimir for interaction like push and drown in the loch and you get good lands like restless reef, passage and field of ruin which all help your gameplan. The deck is still not great against aggro and really struggels with vampires if they get the t3 ripper. I've started to run 2 Unmoored Ego in Main, as milling them should make it pretty clear what they are running and sniping a Ripper or Phoenix really feels good. And I just want to say, you really played the deck really good. You sequenced your cards great and you didn't miss out on emotional damage with your crabs.

      I am glad you enjoyed it! If I ever get enough wildcards, I will definitely consider going in for the Mindbreaker Combo! And thank you! I'm glad someone also respects the crab damage.

    For Standard, I've seen Boros Convoke splash blue for the 1 mana 1/1 that makes a map because epicure is rotating out. Azorius control somehow survived the loss of the Wandering Emperor and Deluge and still has acess to Lockdown. And while it may have some difficulties and hasn't found it's footing yet, Eluge and Beza from BLB are great additions. Overall really happy with standard, but the same can not be said for Pioneer. Also I think that WotC should really introduce seperate coucils for the formats. Pauper is probably one of the healthiest formats and it's because the banlist isn't managed by WotC and they don't print cards specifically for Pauper. Modern is basically a lost cause from what I could gather and even Pioneer basically needs the whole banlist updated. Is Inverter really that bad if you have Amalia and Ripper around. And Pioneers biggest problem is the lack of good interaction. You have some good cards in black, but that's about it. So you either are in Black if you want incidental good removal, need to pivot to specifically play a control type deck (since there it matters less if your removal isn't 100% optimal, since you have 8 billion of them) or you just need to combo faster. This all just causes the format to spiral in to itself, since Amalia, Vampires, Phoenix and Nykthos all counter eachothers counters. I think it be nice if those decks be limited in power through bans(sorin or veinripper/Amalia or Walker/Leyline or, if they really hate green, nykthos/ Cruise). They should also unban a lot of cards e.g Smugglers copter isn't really a problem anymore, so what other cards can come of?

      I would love to see a Convoke list with Spyglass Siren. That would be really cool! I think you make some good points in your second paragraph. (Good food for thought.) Personally, I think I would be happy to see Amalia go before making more adjustments.

    Nadu is definitely overpowered. I do think it ought to receive the axe but its definitely distracting from a multitude of other cards that fall on my list as "never should have been printed". Such as Wrath of the skies (hoses low CMC aggro decks that cast lots of non creature spells like hardened scales, bogles, affinity. and decks that want lots of permanents to snowball, lantern control, enchantress.), the one ring (time walk with card advantage blatantly pushed to sell a set), and orcish bowmasters (X/1 cards unplayable, pushed previous chase mythic ragavan to unplayable status and killed decks like death and taxes.). Really its just a glaring fault of wizards printing "direct to modern" sets, where it feels like a pseudo-rotation with each release instead of a slowly evolving format as new cards slowly filter in from standard. This is just my opinion, I last played modern 2 years ago and have just bought back in on living end expecting boros energy to pick up the #1 spot where nadu left off and am hoping my deck rotates into a good position because of it.

      Couldn't have said it better myself, friend. Could not have said it better at all.

    Not so keen on sorcery speed removal or the gifting card choices. I have a feeling Beza will see some play in uw control decks, especially in the sideboard when you are on the draw.

    • @TOPDeckOnYT
      @TOPDeckOnYT 17 днів тому

      Those are all very fair positions and critiques. However, I would still hold that Dewdrop Cure will be good in Amalia with or without the gift. Beza was a card I almost included, but I couldn't shake the feeling it would be less of an out and more of a "lose more slowly" card. But I will happily accept being proven wrong.

    It is really stupid how WotC refuses to capitalize on the benefits of online only formats like Explorer; Amalia should have been banned in explorer for months already... AT LEAST in BO1

    • @TOPDeckOnYT
      @TOPDeckOnYT 17 днів тому

      I can't speak to why they don't capitalize on digital-only formats, but I agree with you wholeheartedly about Amalia. It should be banned in Pioneer and Explorer since it warps the format.

      Hey, thanks a lot for the support! I am really glad you liked the video, and I hope I can help make the jump into new formats easier for you! However, I will be up front and say most of my gameplay at the moment needs (from a production standpoint) to still come from Arena. I play Explorer, which is the Arena equivalent of Pioneer (if you needed to know). The card pools and metas are functionally identical. Thanks again!

    Appreciate the explanation, curious if you're playing it with Sneaky Snacker now? I swapped in Careful Study to help trigger it, and I've replaced Auger with Modern Age because Refurbished Familiar is everywhere! really enjoying it!

    • @TOPDeckOnYT
      @TOPDeckOnYT Місяць тому

      I really like those changes, and hope they serve you well! (I might make a few of them myself.) To answer your question, not yet. I really want to try to make a Dimir-delver deck with Snacker as a 4-of, so I will probably get an extra playset for this deck if and when I finalize the new decklist. I find making only a few large(ish) orders throughout the year helps minimize the shipping costs and save money.

      Generally I find myself boarding in only a couple cards, so I try to shave an Epicure or a Warden or two. Just generic cuts.
