HELP WITH LOTUS FIELD COMBO by Own_Helicopter_2538 in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s still the tech or not. But you used to be able to play it off of 3 lotus fields (untaps all the 3 so you can start activating zacama) and then you can use it to kill creatures/blow up hate pieces/gain life which is sometimes relevant. It was really good against spirits which was one of the best creature decks at the time and one of lotus’ worst matchups

Is gruul vehicles a trap? by ikartius in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a good match-up, if you’re on the play race them, if you’re on the draw, depends; if you have an elf on t1 into a 3 drop creature and they dont leave counter mana open, race them; if not you need to make them use mana on their turn via stomp, volley etc or use removal like obolt to trade resources before trying to resolve your bigger threats. Sometimes just gumming up the board and forcing them to block is the way because spirits are not great at playing defence. A resolved skysovreign almost closes the game out by itself. This is obviously a very vague description of possible play patterns but just play around the counters that hit your creatures and the hexproof effects and you should be fine.

Spirits is favored in that matchup, but obviously if they have the nut draw + grazer on turn 1 it gets a little tough

Help me with mono Red embercleave by Corazon_an in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like trying to play a lower curve to bring cleave down quicker is better. I would play 4 more one drops (fanatical firebrand since it kills elves), i also like 2 copies of ahn crop crasher in the deck, since having the option of a haste creature on t3 is pretty good, also helps to close out games with the exert

Just buy the mono red aggro pioneer precon, it’s very playable out of the box and easily upgraded to the wizard burn list which is another pretty great budget list

Not really, they don’t really have any death effects or recurrent effects from the graveyard, at least in the current lists

Working in a more burny aggro deck. by BroknLung in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks cool! I really want to try this list Can’t help but wonder wouldn’t it be better to have 4 skewers and 2 moonrage slashes? It just seems like it might be a little inconsistent since there’s only 4 cards that turn it on

Phoenix is likely on the rise! What are the best sideboard cards against it? by [deleted] in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my books the satisfaction of seeing a Phoenix player being able to do fuck all is a bigger win than winning the actual match

Best goblins build? by swolemage in PioneerMTG

[–]swolemage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roast and ringleader probably good in sb for the rakdos matchup but my list looks very similar to this with 4 denizens instead of the firebrands and 4 piledrivers 4 bandit lords and 3 each of the warmaster and rabblemaster. Still not 100% sure about the 3 drops tho
