Izzet Prowess
Pioneer
30 Jul by SasquatchSenpai
I have enjoyed the Izzet Prowess in standard to a great deal, so I looked into a form for Pioneer. There are a few more tools available to us, though the deeper pool of cards means the tools to deal with them as well from our opponents. We are living in a Dimir Inverter and Lotus Breach landscape, s...
Eldrazi Control
Pioneer
08 Jul by eddietheintern
There are a couple directions I think Grixis can go in Pioneer. One is a version meant to take advantage of the extremely powerful Draconic Roar, which I'm workshopping over at Grixis Dragons v2. Another is this hard control list, sort of a version of Legacy Grixis control in Pioneer - aft...
ARTISAN(Pioneer)_BOROS Legion
Pioneer
31 May by ChrizzlyBear
INTRO: Come sing with me!!!- What do you do with a drunken GD (Game developer)?- What do you do with an expensive game? We fucking take their own formats and break down the costs and still have fun. That's what we doThese ARTISAN(Pioneer) decks are meant for being payed with friends who are fed...
Tamiyo Spirits
Pioneer
26 May by eddietheintern
I tend to prefer building decks that are mostly or entirely my idea, or something original I come up with with a friend. That being said, when I see one card that I think would be super sick in an established archetype (a la my Crag Cycle list), it's almost even more fun to see how it can ...
3 Scales (Defunct)
Pioneer
08 May by Coorow
(Now that Walking Ballista has been purged from pioneer this deck is essentially dead, I'm leaving it available to access but just know it is a defunct deck.) As a lover of Artifacts I've found Hardened Scales Affinity decks to be an incredibly fun experience, it is one of the few archetypes that do...
Yorion Blue
Pioneer
19 Apr by eddietheintern
OVERVIEW: This is my attempt at a mono-blue aggro-tempo list that wants to take advantage of Yorion, Sky Nomad in Pioneer! I admit, my first reaction when I saw the card was skeptical, but after thinking it over I actually think it slots pretty well into my favorite archetype in Pioneer, blue tempo....
Anti-Aggro Burn
Pioneer
28 Mar by eddietheintern
This is a refinement of the first deck I ever built for Pioneer, just a week or so after the format was originally announced (which, coincidentally, was right when I was getting back into Magic for the first time in a few years). I vaguely remembered pulling Soulfire Grandmaster in a random pack of ...
Gitrog Presence
Pioneer
25 Mar by eddietheintern
This is a really nice example of an archetype I like to call "soft combo." A hard combo deck will try to win in only one or two explosive turns with an alternate win-con, an infinite combo, or overwhelming damage, but a soft combo deck is fine with spreading the hurt out over time, as long as it sti...
Jeskai Sigarda's Combo
Pioneer
11 Mar by Accipitrade
Not sure why my hover links didn't work, but I'm not going to remove them so you'll just have to pretend they're there. Sorry, and thanks! A flexible combo deck that plays aggro-ish, attempting to stick a creature (or multiple) that can eventually swing at the opponent for big chunks of damage by ex...
Affinity Blade 2.0
Pioneer
04 Mar by Coorow
I love Artifact centric decks in all their often broken glory, but I have a special place in my heart for Equipment decks. Generally Equipment are played as an extra rather than being the main theme of the deck, Stoneforge Mystic, Batterskull, and the Swords are a pretty good example of an equipment...
Flash Blink Blue
Pioneer
25 Feb by eddietheintern
Who you are constantly runs toward who you will be. Mirror Mockery is on one level just another bulk rare with great art from one of Magic's best (relatively) recent blocks. It's an adaptable two-drop - at once an answer to attackers, a removal option against aggressive decks, and an engine to...
Jeskai Creativity
Pioneer
24 Feb by Atramhasis
So this is a bit of a weird one, but it is building off a 5-0 list I saw recently trying to use Birth of Meletis and Pirate's Pillage as ways to play Indomitable Creativity and win the game with it. I've tweaked the list to make it Jeskai for a number of reasons. First, I decided I like the combo of...

I placed 4th at a local 1k event with this list. Proof here: https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=24362&d=370164&f=PI 19 players, went 4-1 in the Swiss and 1-1 in the top 8. The two games I lost were to the same UW control deck that was played by 3 different people (they were on a team, and there...
$40 Dredgeless Dredge
Pioneer
29 Dec by unicornturtle
Dredgeless Dredge Grisly SalvagePrized AmalgamNarcomoeba Today, we are looking at a really good deck. Recently, this deck has been preforming pretty good at tourneys. I would say that some of the most important cards are Grisly Salvage, Gurmag Angler, and Prized Amalgam. ----------------------------...
Thassa, God of Value
Pioneer
23 Dec by eddietheintern
VALUE! VALUE! VALUE! They oughtta start calling this game "Versatility: The Gathering," what with all the variety the cards here bring to the table. Siren Stormtamer, Merfolk Trickster, Thassa, God of the Sea, and Master of Waves can, with a little luck, come out perfectly on curve, and with a Caval...

Black / Green Soulflayer Soulflayer Soulflayer - The main wincon in the deck. Uses Delve mechanic to exile cards from graveyard to pay for 1 colorless mana in its casting cost. You will always need, at minimum: 2 black mana and 4 cards in the graveyard to play this using Delve. You can also cast th...
[Budget/Pioneer] Selesnya Heroic
Pioneer
09 Dec by Cratuss
Introduction Hi! this is my first Pioneer deck. Actually.. it once was a standard deck to the time of the Theros block and it worked so god damn well that i thought i transform it into a pioneer deck to be able to play it again. Why Selesnya? The Most popular heroic based decks are Boros...
Jeskai Control
Pioneer
03 Dec by Atramhasis
Building off the recent 5-0 lists that have been having success on MTGO and in the PTQs, this is the build of Jeskai Control that I have been having a fair deal of success with at my LGS. Why Jeskai over straight Azorius? The main reason I am doing so is to have access to Possibility Storm out of th...
Pioneer Grixis Control
Pioneer
27 Nov by Haythem
Grixis Control (Jan 2020 Build) I built this to take advantage of some of the more powerful control cards and non-creature spells available to play in the format. I normally play some kind of control deck and normally gravitate to Esper, but I've played this deck the last few weeks, had prett...
Jeskai Possibility Storm
Pioneer
26 Nov by Atramhasis
As I was brewing up Jeskai Control with a singleton copy of Possibility Storm for the lock with Teferi, Time Raveler, it made me think suddenly "why not just go all in on Jeskai Possibility Storm and play the combo in that?" So here we are! This is the same basic Possibility Storm combo, using an ad...
