Hey Jim - hearing you talk at the start about Phoenix strength in Pioneer & Explorer. I've been playing it a ton but I find I'm really struggling to win consistently against Rakdos Vampires. Would love to see you play some Phoenix so I could see what I'm doing wrong, because that matchup just feels so hard for me.
Hey Jim just read the article about the set mechanics of outlaw junction commiting crimes is gonna bring a whole new layer to the game it's gonna get interesting for sure.great article by the way
For one-drops, maybe the blue 2/2 with defender that gets counters when you surveil and loses defender? The deck has some incidental surveil and it benefits from the counters from Memory
Remember that time when WotC thought Serra Angel was too good so they stopped printing it for like 4 years and then brought it back as a rare instead of uncommon? Yeah...
my reaction to playing against the phoenix deck for the first time after coming back was "why am I playing against a nerfed P9 in the mildest constructed format outside of standard?" shredder also has way too much stats for that much text... flying, grows, filters, fills the grave AND has 3 toughness? For 1U? Are we sure we don't want to add hexproof, vigilance and lifelink for good measure?
Wow great games, kept me on the edge of my seat. I’d love to see you rebuild and replay the deck.
Niiiiceeee Explorer !!! More Exploreeeer!!!!!😊

Life is a resource, and Jim Davis is going to use every bit of it he has

What amazes me is the amount of this deck that comes from Standard

Was excited to see you try this brew since I found out about it ❤
Thanks Jim
Cavedan on the map! Love Faithless Brewing
Stalactite Stalker could be great as a one drop in this deck
Came here to say this
Wow these were some exciting games!
I didn’t pause, here’s the comment

I'm not usually a Dimir player but this core seems dope

delusion. it would never grow
This deck should come with a warning: not for the faint of heart
Went down to 18 lands and added 2 opt. Feels much better!
Love the t-shirt
Dimir Serra? I'm intrigued.
Im adding Duelist of the Mind to this build when OTJ drops
I have paused. I have clicked. Now what?
What about stormwing entity?
his name is aidetic?

Hi
Dig Through TIme is actually the best card in Pioneer, but it’s meant for more controlling builds.
Only tangentially related to this episode. Do you think that The Meathook Massacre can be unbanned in Standard before rotation?
!
Treasure Cruise in banned in Modern and Legacy but someone legal in Explorer/Pioneer…
