Love seeing merfolk in pioneer. Any chance deep root pilgrimage worth running?

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

Maybe a few copies can work; especially since I'm not in love with Tidebinder. I make comments about the "standard" cards I see in a lot of lists at the end of the video. But I don't have any groundbreaking results myself so maybe I can't talk. I find Pilgrimage to be a bit clunky tbh.

Been having a good time with this list on Arena in Explorer, climbing my way up the ladder with it. I've managed to beat pretty much every meta deck there is. By no means broken, but certainly strong. Thanks!

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

I think a lot of the current builds of Pioneer Merfolk attempt to do something very broken but at the cost of a lot of consistency. I think playing something strong but consistent is a route more people should explore.

One card I like playing in Pioneer Merfolk is Mist-Cloaked Herald. It's another 1-drop, and it's unblockable, which is really nice, especially once you get a few of those lords on-board.

good sb'ing vs vampires, you are 100% correct spell pierce is good in the match up, they have a lot of must 3 drops. I would probably have done a 3 pierce/2 witness split.

❤❤ love gameplay clips

cryptic coat sees play in Alchemy and that white agro deck sees tons of play in Historic with a few changes

Niice list i might modify mine to try this blend at my locals. I run more of a deeproot and kumena build because it turns my hexcatcher into a no non creature spell zone. I havnt come anywhere below 4th so far in my locals

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

That’s pretty good!

@Gemasted 3 месяца назад

vs phoenix your best card is mystic dispute, but spell pierce is also strong, just to counter their disputes / counter ancestral recall

I love the Pioneer gameplay. What are your thoughts on Shapers' Sanctuary? I like having it against removal-heavy decks like Phoenix and Bx midrange/control.

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

It’s not bad. Maybe I should even be running some.

I love mono blue so much

@nikachuplaysmtg 2 месяца назад

Sadly I don't think there's enough mono blue cards in Pioneer to make it even playable

@JohnSmith-hs9ez 2 месяца назад

Have you thought about the agarha's soul cauldron builds which combo with copter and thay one enchantment when you tap a merfolk?

@nikachuplaysmtg 2 месяца назад

I'm aware of them, and I could certainly go down that route. I'm uncertain how Cauldron combos with Copter, how does that work?

@connormaybury6499 3 месяца назад

What are your thoughts on collected company in merfolk? Especially if you arent playing deeproot pilgrimage

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

It's better if you have a lot of high quality 2 drops and 3 drops to dig for. If the deck is loaded with 1 drops, Trickster, Harbinger, I think the card is sort of poor. If your targets are Silvergill, Kumena, Hexcatcher, Tidebinder, etc, the card gets better.

Turn the earth has become my favorite magic card and I play everywhere I can get away with it. All star card

@claytonmauldin1113 3 месяца назад

No mistcaller in the 75 is an odd call given that more than one of the most popular decks revolve around cheating creatures in without casting them. Did you just find that it was too fragile and didn't do what it was supposed to?

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

Being a 1/1 is sort of a problem. It’s not even clear to me that it’s good vs Phoenix because they can kill it on your turn then go off on their turn. What other match ups would you want it for?

@claytonmauldin1113 3 месяца назад

@nikachuplaysmtg It works against rakdos vampires stopping the turn 3 vein ripper. I find it typically slows them down because they have to answer it before their deck can do its thing. It's even more a problem for them in a shell like this where you have a bunch of interaction. It also stops some Teir2/3 strata like creativity transmog and neoform. You're right about Phoenix. All their interaction is instant speed, so it's mostly irrelevant there.

How on Earth did you have such bad luck with lands when you have 24 lands AND explore effects?

@nikachuplaysmtg 3 месяца назад

I know!
