Is Control Still the Best Deck in Pioneer | Ascendancy Combo vs Azorius Control 

🌱🧙🏿 Decklists: bit.ly/36MmD7E

Amazing vid. Thoralf is a great host, Gabriel is a great guest, both amazing players, pioneer, educational, decks... Everything awesome. Chef's kiss

this is great magic content. usually when you watch someone strem you only learn how to play one deck. here you learn 2 at the same time :)

I love this video format. Great tips for new players combined with great matches. Keep em comming!

Please more Pioneer Matches :)

Shout out to the production team, really impressive! Keep up the great work!

The editing on this viedo is so slick. Great job, thank you for the high quality content.

This is excellent content. Easy to follow and great tips from pro players. Would love to see you guys try out a Grixis Lutri deck in pioneer :)

Risky play, but Thoralf could've silenced in game 3 before his Ascendency for potentially the win. Good matches overall, it's nice to see some pioneer content.

37:46 exactly how I feel every time I draw negate late game against UW control!

Nassif on the full control train. I love it!

Thanks! It’s nice to see pioneer making a comeback and that you guys are making some great pioneer content :)

Great seeing both of these amazing players here!

I have been watching all of yalls videos sincei found this channel about a weak ago Great content you are are so awsome

Great content as usual, shout out to the editors for the great work !

Love watching pro players with tier decks on this channel!!! Great content :D :D :D

Ascendancy combo has been the only deck I play in pioneer and I loved seeing it on here and piloted at such a high level, reminds me of how fun the deck is in control matchups and not only scamming people out turn 4 lol

Really well done video, I pretty much exclusively play mtga arena magic, so seeing this from a top down perspective was certainly interesting. I still prefer the way arena displays your cards but I can see why some people would prefer table magic. That said watching this at 1.75 speed I can safely say arena does allot of the hard micro work for you.

Keep these coming guys. They're great!!

"Silence! I keell you!"

Great video! Pioneer content is much appreciated!

HOT DAMN WHAT A MATCH

Here for it!

Being someone who has very limited experience playing formats other than commander, I love these videos due to how easy it is to get into them without knowing anything about the format's metagame and you guys are able to just explain it and make it make sense as it goes. Love the cut aways to the players talking through their decisions and this is honestly some of my favorite Magic content out there right now. Strangely enough, binging these videos has made me realize that I like watching control get played way more in 1v1 formats for whatever reason.

Toffel is questing beast 💪🤣

I love this kind of content! I'm wandering why it has so few views

Why you don't play your wandering emperor game 2 😢

It's been 9 months, but if you see this, I was wondering if Jeskai Ascendancy could run with a cheaper mana base? I bought the cards to build the deck but the lands are more expensive than the whole rest of the deck, so I skipped most of them and was looking for budget alternatives.

Pioneer is great! I love spikes rakdos artifact sac list! Highly recommend it.

Jund Food is kind of a pet deck of mine, highly recommended!

Another great video! 👍

Absolutely loved this video

I'd love to see mono Green devotion. It's everywhere atm

Game 3 was so riveting

Great video!

Did Thoralf really just make a Jeff Dunham joke? Huh.

UW control all the way

Amazing video ! Keep going

7:49 looks like an anime draw

Seeing that Shark Typhoon cycled hurt me on a deep level, damn

Loved the game play.

32:33 no thoralf its not disgusting. it is aethergusting

9:26 how did that happen? Didn't that creature had hexproof?

please more pro vs pro videos!

Great vid, sending love and support 🙃 can you play a ninjistu deck or a treasure token deck i would really like to see how any of those will play in modern

Try some budget cycles :D

I love devotion decks

Any day control loses is a good day

pog

really good episode

The wandering emperor could have exiled the creature that stopped non-creature spells from being countered game 2

Why non-yorion UW?

He played the uw control deck so poorly it triggered me. Tapped out vs combo decks to make tokens. Countering expressive iteration instead of saving them for combo pieces. You don’t have to do anything vs combo as control just save your counter spells for their win conditions and let their deck fizzle.

35:37 how did he play memory deluge on upkeep before untap?

100% you play the awakening first

17:47 why is thoralf intentionally taping his cards the wrong way?

Gabriel “yellow teeth” Nasir

Bois this is supreme Magic content. I have been going through and binging yall’s content and it has just made me crave paper magic more and more. Keep it up, seriously really good stuff.

Did thoralf make a Jeff Dunham reference?

Please show the new calobrated blast deck 😏

Thoralf had the win the last game. He even commented on the only play that stops him😂 If he cast Sylvan first then the ascendency, it would jave resolved and he could have cast silence to untap all his lands to become 3/3s, get a free loot, and possibly another trigger 7 3/3s is still lethal.

The last game was such a rollercoaster ride xD

Someone should play something crazy with aetherworks marvel! Maybe with genesis ultimatum ?

Game 2: Funny that Thoralf has 2 "Ketria Triome" in his Starthand and than plays them and they are "Raugrin Triome" 😅🤣

Decklist suggestions: Jund Death Shadow with Tarmogoyf in Modern or Mono Blue Spirits in Pioneer!

Yes please more really good to learn as well the decks to play

This video is Amazing. PLEASE keep more Pionneer !!!

26:31- 26:37 is the best

Extremely low level play from a hall of fame player. Gabriel used to be good but this looked like some new player who’s never played control before. 0 thought into his plays just randomly cast spells.
