    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.

    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.

    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
      @gpeixe 2 місяці тому

      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.

    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

    • @justingraham442
      @justingraham442 3 місяці тому

      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
      @highwindjump88 3 місяці тому

      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.
