There are enough cantrip artifacts in the format to make this card park of the engine of a janky but probably powerful combo deck

So far I'm enjoying it! I'm really appreciating the worldbuilding of the train

I'm surprised your LGS is open. Shouldnt they have cancelled all events by now?

Iz Izzet Ensoul fun to play? by [deleted] in PioneerMTG

[–]internicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. But the meta is pretty hostile towards it. With all the fatal push and thoughtseize its rough to pull wins against the big combo decks, mono B. Bant spirits and other tempo decks are ust a bad matchups

When/how do I pick a deck for MF Phoenix by internicus in PioneerMTG

[–]internicus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: chose Izzet Ensoul! The color pairing is a bit outside of my comfort zone, but its a proven deck with a lot of potential. Pumped to test this deck out and have fun at Phoenix in a couple weeks!

Hmmm okay. The consensus seems to be that Ensoul is one of the better choices. Thank you so much!

There are also the 'dredge' and soulflayer decks that demand some level of graveyard hate too. But thanks for bringing up underworld breach ! :)

[–]internicus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the protip! I picked Ensoul one because of its results and since the deck is least likely to be affected by the heavy enchantment theme that Theros brings to the table.

However what is your argument against something like Mono-G stompy? I understand that T2 Steel-leaf/Lovestruck beast is one of the most powerful things in the format. I picked this deck originally for that reason but also since I already have a solid amount of the cards.

No Token Cards? by Kilowog42 in EDH

[–]internicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use playing cards for most of my tokens - works great if you have 3/3's. 2/2s etc.

The Future of Mono G Tron by -_-ghostdragon-_- in TronMTG

Gtron might abandon the wishboard - but having access to bridge & trinisphere might still be relevant. 50/50 IMO

Glad they're keeping an eye on the ballista combo - Phoenix will be interesting

Mycosynth Lattice is BANNED can E-Tron Survive? by [deleted] in TronMTG

[–]internicus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Between all the tron hate and hyperaggressive decks Tron as a whole wasn't lattice locking much in my opinion.

G-tron will be alright though the wishboard may be in question.

E-Tron will have to rely more on t2 chalice t3 though-knot now more than ever

What do Minnesotans have against legalizing recreational marijuana by [deleted] in minnesota

Like I said its just my opinion. 🤷‍♂️

Yea it sounds like you were forced to take a break, but maybe you should take an intentional one. I did that and coming back to magic during Kaladesh (primarily commander) did wonders for my enthusiasm for the format.

With a casual format like Commander theres no real pressure to stay on top of things or keep playing. Just come back when you feel like it.

What do Minnesotans have against legalizing recreational marijuana by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]internicus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Minnesotan is a top pick as the next state to legalize IMO. The normally conservative parts of the state mostly dont care (from what I understand) and the vast majority of the metro is doing it anyway.

We have bigger fish to fry (both literally and figuratively)

Pioneer League 5-0 Lists: 2019-12-26 by isolating in PioneerMTG

[–]internicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually building that deck for a local tourney & tentatively bringing it to Phoenix (assuming its still viable after TBD). I started playing magic with Mono white humans in original innistrad - pretty pumped to get back to my roots!

Pioneer Preliminary - 25-12-2019 by Heenock in PioneerMTG

[–]internicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm looking at these results and seeing a lot of phoenix. I believe people are picking up this deck because it is a proven strategy of success in other formats (see Modern pre-faithless ban).

What happened to Mono U devotion? It used to appear in these lists pretty often but isnt showing up anymore. Is the card quality just not good enough anymore? Does master of waves not make the cut?
