Playtesting the 2022 Pioneer Challenger Decks | Gruul Stompy vs Dimir Control 

🐉☄ Decklists: bit.ly/3F9l8Pz

Glad the dice budget was increased.

Congratulations Cardmarket on acquiring some more dice 🎉

I love Carl's giddy laugh anytime anything happens lol.

29:22 It's worth noting that Shifting Ceratops cannot gain vigilance through its own abilities

I love the whole crew but the way Carl and Jamin play off each other is a personal favorite.

One thing that i really appreciate about this chancel is how when Carl sees Jamin going in for the win he hypes him up. That’s great kitchen table kind of magic!

The Pioneer precon deck from a year ago, actually was the first video I watched from you guys.

This is the first of the Versus videos I have watched on the channel and really enjoy the overlay. Having the hand contents in the corners is so helpful and I really enjoy the cut-away commentary as well!

Nice i initially got back into mtg due to the pioneer precons from last year and it introduced me to your channel :). Hope the 4 from this year gives you guys a lot of new content to create :). Personally looking to get the Dimir one but kinda sad that they feel kinda watered down on some front *hust* *hust* Shark Typhoon...*hust*

yeah, Go Blank, what a combo with Drown in the Loch

I love this, how they explain thought process while keeping the tempo. Subbed

I've been finding myself more and more wanting to get into pioneer. it seems like genuinely such a fun format, I wish that magic gave more support to their 1v1 60 card formats. like I enjoy Commander but I think this is how magic was always intended to be played and it's the way I like to play the most. with how gross modern is right now especially with all of the horizons stuff and the new Lord of the rings stuff on the way I find myself wanting to get into pioneer more everyday. I'll have to look around for local game stores in my area that actually have tournaments. always love your pioneer gameplays and I'm happy that card market finally gave you guys the dice budget that you were so desperately needing

Guys, these are getting awesome. Your editing process is subtly improving with each video! Great job!

Super interested in a "upgrade" video about those (dimir especially)!

I still remember last year on my old couch i was watching last years pioneer challanger decks videos. And now 1 year later you have more dice. Wow times have changed man

You all are a blast to watch. Very fun stuff

These Videos are so well made, I never enjoyed watching paper magic so much. Keep up the good work guys :)

SO HAPPY THESE ARE BEING FEATURED!

would love to see the standard precons decks vs 1 another like this looks like they would be fun

Gotta have lots of dice!!! LOL! Thanks for the Pioneer content. I really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!

Carl "playing around stomp" immediately followed by "please don't draw stomp" is a classic lol

I love that you're looking at precons! Getting the opinions of some seasoned magic players on how they work and stuff is always really cool! Ever think about doing a couple of the Game Night decks that recently dropped?

You guys actually have MORE DICE now!? Guess the budget increase was approved! Gratz guys! Also interesting to learn that the Giant and the Rider have more in common than I expected.Poor guys just want to go into buildings.

hope you guys can put out more videos like this, good for beginners to the game

gruul precon replacing glorybringer and the spells with werewolf packleader and reckless stormseeker, and 4 embercleave is crazy fun

It was really cool to see that Game 2 turn around completely 💃🏻

would be super fun to see you playing old preconstructed decks (mirrodin, old kamigawa) Just to bring the good old memories

those were some really close games. Nice!

This was a ton of fun to watch

Just wanted to say that this channel has become a sleeper hit of mine. Very underated.

love seeing the budget for the show grow with those new dice

That game 2 was really frustrating from the control side, so many almost-plays that don't quite work because you're at 1 😅

from the side, that looked like a lot of dice! Then from the above view, I noticed there was a backup column!!!

The last turn was very cleaver and intresting on how the stack played out

"Stop it Carl, you're doing the Toffel thing!" haha

Jamin sided the Ceratops in for game 2, talked it up, but I really think he underestimated how effective it is in this matchup, holding it for so many turns really felt like a mistake.

I'm a simple man. I see a new cardmarket video, I like and comment and happily enjoy the great content :)

36:58 Feels gooooood

Yes please showcase all these

Super entertaining as always folks

A round of standard would be cool every once in 10 games or so. Just to see what the format is like every once in a while. Pioneer is cool too! I'm addicted to these gameplay videos by the way. I've run out of ones to watch and have tried to find the old ones XD

On this episode of Cardmarket: Carl censors an interracial relationship

I remember your subs count when the last pioneer precon match was. It was 14k. 🎉 now almost 60k. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really liking the content. I know you guys are all about that Modern format, but how about some games of Premodern? Very interesting format with a lot of diversity, and of course those cool old frame cards!

I definitely think Yamin should have deployed the Shifting Ceratops earlier to chump the shark token, protecting the Chandra at 7 to ult next turn. With only one card in the control player's hand, and Ceratops being Uncounterable, you have practically nothing to worry about outside of exactly Heartless Act since the Field of Ruin was tapped down.

Please do a video where you talk about the decks and how to upgrade them, like you did about the first pioneer decks 😊

I want to see pauper commander with you two, thoralf, and 8rack

Now that the dice budget has increased you should share a link to them in the description haha

Thanks for that content

What set are the basic lands they are using from? they look awesome

As you asked for other formats, you should try Premodern!

I just heard the Prof on Tolarian Community College's newest video talk about a relatively new format called "Heritage", has the team heard much about that?

In rund two, it would have been an idea to cast the elf first instead of lovestruck beast and then in the next turn cast ceratops because of protection from blue :D

I know correcting play isn’t the most fun but JAMUN CHANDRA CAN MAKE MANA. It worked out pretty well with the language but I feel like upticking chandra for the mana to cast ceratops and beast and stuff was just easily the correct line

I would love to see some Heritage, either Modern or Legacy Heritage.

GG on the dice

gruul pioneer challenger looks pretty solid

21:27 with that enchatment on the board youre on the clock, chandra should had went up for 2 RR to play that green Dino.

still not enough dices :D i wanna see more !!!!! :P

I'm usually an edh player but I really liked this vid.

Thanks for the video :) I have a question. Is there a reason at 10:53 to play the Fatal Push rather than the adventure of Murderous Rider on the end of Jamin's turn ? It ends up not mattering, but the 3 mana spell seems more mana efficient to me in that situation. Is it a light misplay, or am I missing something, something that gives the priority to the Ooze for example?

These were good games.

it is funny you said gruul is not a meta deck in pioneer, because either wizards had good prediction or they got lucky because just recently gruul started getting important in the format, I think a very similar gruul deck is to this one is currently tier 1

Seems like someone got some top decking advice from Toffel. Just turn creatures sideways and draw winning cards!

I just found out there's a format called Heritage. It's basically Legacy but only allows cards that were legal in Standard. So no Commander-only cards or Battlebond or any other weird stuff!

"how does this have reach?", says the guy with a GIANT FLYING SHARK 🤣🤣🤣

Probably my favorite format..

This was a very entertaining video, and I've heard of a format called Penny and don't know anything about it. Maybe you guys might be interested in playing it.

Play more challenger decks Let’s see which one is the king of ALL 8 precons

43:10 if you want a really weird format to play, pre-modern is most def up there

Jamin punted the second game so hard

Love pioneer content

I'm new to MTG and trying to build a dimir deck for pioneer/modern. Is this dimir deck a good starting point? I have a small collection of blue and black cards I'd probably swap out

What are the sleeves you are using today? And go Dimir

Ok so at 21:16 why not up tic for 2 red mana cast the Shifting Ceritops and then give it haste?

Did... Jaymin give Shifting Ceratops *vigilance* at 29:20?? I had to reread the card a couple times, but I'm pretty sure that is NOT on the card.

Are you going to do budget and non budget upgrades for the decks and then play them?

1:10 as an izzet player I can confirm 😎😎😎

15:50 I wish them a happy 7. Seems neutral enough.

great performance guys! Name of the song at 12:39?

Apparently Shifting Ceratops is just "G: Add whatever keyword you want" now. (Vigilance isn't an option)

I usually say “have a game”. Because no matter what, they are going to have a game.

Murderous rider shuffles deck I think.

If you ever play dice factory, you'll need those dice...

I had no clue WotC made pioneer precons..... I'm going to blame them and not myself

Jamin says Reach is the most overlooked keyword. That's a nice video topic. Which is the most inplay overlooked keyword? By my experience it is not reach, it is menace.The amount of times players tried to do an illegal block in various games trying to block menace creatures with one blocker is ridiculous.

which pioneer challenger deck do you suggest to buy?

Do they come with full art lands?

Yamin didn't even use the ceratops right

Ok hear me out, I know consider is a better card, but I think if I bought this dimir pre con I would rather have thought scour, considering( see what I did there) that it fuels dig for time more and also let’s u mill your opponent early to turn on drown in the loch faster

So how does fatal push work? Do I not understand it correctly?

What's mono-rot burn? Decaying carcasses on fire?

🎲 🎲 😎

Why can't carl block with the shark before the 4 exert damage resolves?

Can someone tell me what nationality Carl is? I just recently in the past couple weeks started watching/subscribed. His English is clearer than people in the states and I'm from here.

dice dice baby XD

Is this the cheapest of the paper play videos on this channel? They didn’t even have to shout out Karma Crow this time!

How could you negate the lovestruck beast?

The only way to determine who goes first is the German "Meiern".
