@@micah3030 You’re in a color set with only damage based removal and enchantment removal as answers. Lightpaws quickly stacks up toughness and enchantments for neither of those to matter. Sure other colors are going to have problems, especially cause aura decks tend to run some type of protection, but not quite so badly as Gruul .
The variance of Magic: one minute "if this Temple Garden was any type of gas, we'd win." Next minute : "If we had a second land, we'd already have won."
At 25:20, you could have killed that turn. Shardmarge’s tutor audacity, then audacity tutor ethereal armor, then ethereal armor tutor sentinels eyes allows you to attack for 21.
@rekenner I think a pro player would want to have 15 cards for the bad matchup. I could entertain, in a large field tournament, one card for every matchup, though. You also get less random BS in Pioneer than in Legacy because of things like cost. There aren't as many "Oh a Legacy event is in town? Time to dust off my old Enchantress deck" players. I'd be curious on how Brian builds sideboards for the Swiss round of a big tournament, i.e. does he try to answer every deck or lean into a couple of matchups?
@@derekcline950 it's so variable. Your goal is for each card to increase your aggregate win% vs the field by as much as you can. The best way to do that might be ignoring a matchup like UW because the # of cards you need to invest doesn't pay off. If you need 8 slots to make a match go from bad to slightly favorable, that's a bad use of SB slots.
35:34 I think the optimal sequence was to play Audacity, search up Ethereal Armor, play Ethereal Armor, search up Sentinel’s Eyes. Light-Paws’ trigger doesn’t care if you cast something you already have, you just can’t *find* something you already have
In round 1, was it worth going all in on the skrelv instead of playing out a new creature on the second to last turn? We could have presented 2 turn lethal with double all that glitters instead of losing the race on board. With the opponent empty handed it seems like the risk of them drawing a removal spell might be one we need to take
If I had a nickel for every time I said to myself, “ I’m not going to play around settle the wreckage” then died to settle the wreckage id have so many nickels
Doomwake typical tilt and auto concede to the slightest inconvenience, never fails lol

Tbf Gruul does just get garbaged by auras if you don’t immediately remove Light Paws.
@@owenbartels9333that's not a gruul specific issue. Lightpaws is a must-kill threat.

there are three constants in life, death, taxes, and doomwake being weirdly salty

The experience of playing decks that show you 1 card per turn.
I've always preferred to call the White March "March of the Chungus Bunny" because of the art.
Ah, yes, the Chungo Bungo

37:41 Deathtouch on a 9/9 is really nice when you also tack trample on it. I'd rather compare that situation to giving a creature with shadow flying.
Kinda curious not having 4 Slip Out the Back for the UW matchup. It is the only protection from sweepers?
15 cards is not that many cards for the sideboard. Gotta fit things in for a pretty wide variety of matchups

I definitely read it as patchwork bestie as well.
RAAAAAAA I LOVE PIONEER CONTENT I LOVE WHEN BOSH PLAYS PIONEER ITS PEAK **RAAAAAAAAAAAAA**

I swear on mobile your MODO avatar looks like PS1 Hagrid.

Patchwork Bestie is valid
Digging the Pioneer content
4 Lights Paws seems like a lot of Light Paws. Sheltered by Ghosts is amazing.
It is the best card in the deck. If you draw multiple that's a good thing it means you're more likely to keep one
I actually read that guy as "Beasite" (as in the Scotts word) but I assumed I'd dyslexic'd it and it was meant to be "besty"
so sheltered by ghosts is just simply a cheaper oblivion ring that also does more. nice
If you have a creature to put it on, yes.
to be fair, the downside is that if the creature dies they kill two things at once. still crazy good tho.
Getting confused on boarding because it's an aggro deck lol
28:54 i was just wondering of settle is legal in this format, i think i have ptsd from that one time... :)
One of my favorite cards to cast! Nobody expects getting their wreckage settled in 2024, all they expect is get wandered.
Mana confluence hurts so much in pioneer.
T1 TS is like every game start. Often going back and forth or just the player going first taking a TS
Sheltered by ghost WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Had to read it twice cuz WTF Is that
Uncommon
Appreciate the format variety, Legacy meta is dead at the moment
Card market best legacy series ends today. 2012 miracles vs 2019 lands. I'm curious which you think wins?
Aura pack… enchant ‘em if you got em?
