Pro tip for control from Reid himself: "As it turned out, I had all the answers." So there you go kids.

Reid takes everything in stride and is always so calm and collected. Such a pleasure to watch him play Magic

M1G1 is a great example of why you take wandering emperor with early TS. That card does so much.

Yes! More UW content! Prepping for the next pio RCQ with this deck and already checked out Nassif's version - but who doesn't love more Reid?

Downside of when your main deck gets top tier, everyone else plays it.

the way you talk about youre thought process👌👌

Please Arena give us what we need for Pioneer. Watching this is just brutal!!

I think Explorer is 15 relevant cards off of Pioneer? That’s both a lot and honestly not too many.

Reid Duke playing control?? Yes please!!

Do you have a SB guide for this decklist? Thank You!

2:53:00 Reid there was actually a way to guarantee not dying to double removal. you main phase 1 field of ruin one of the two red open mana lands, even if they have an island left they only have 1 red mana up. that leaves you with the land you get of field of ruin with 5 mana up, enough for a 1 mana shark plus veto.

He could have also YOLO'd a March of Otherworldly Light off the top if he cycled shark typhoon for 1 instead of double activate anchorage. NVM... he only has 1 in the deck and he used it on the land earlier in the game...

This video made my mind about buying a Azourios Control Deck. I'm a Mono W Humans player and felt incredibly inspired in what the UW can do. Thanks for the video ❤

Very excited to watch this!

Three hours of UW control? Sign me up.

Best substitute do Hallowed Moonlight in explorer?

Que cambios le harías a la baraja después de ver los resultados del pro tour Karlov?

That thumbnail is glorious.

Now I'm worried. What were the previous lies?😢

Guys do you think that more Lifelink creatures are useful in SB?

Any ideas what to replace the Hallowed Moonlights with in Explorer?

Why not board out Dig Through Time in the matchups where Rest In Peace comes in? Isn't it a super dead card if you have it while RIP is on the field?

How does this deck matchup against Simic Merfolk combo?

Thanks, I like!

A three-hour video? What is this, Fellowship of the Reid??? Good stuff, as always.

Playing a UW control deck without 1 copy of Sphinx's Rev feels like a sin.

For sure! My pet card in all UW control. I would commit the sin of 61 cards to fit it

frankly it's depressing that pioneer's UW control has a total of 6 non land cards in the main deck that were printed over 5 years ago. Power creep is erasing the game's history even in the formats that are supposed to preserve it.

I really don’t like deduce myself. I almost would rather have quick study. I mean you’re paying 4 to draw 2 from deduce. And 3 to draw 2 from quick study.

@gpeixe

3 ай бұрын

I think it might be that you have fewer windows to resolve a 3cmc spell in this format. With deduce you pay more mana, but you can afford to pay 2 mana more often in between turns.

The more important part is that on turn 4 it allows you to go deduce + removal/counterspell

Worldsouls rage is the new it card

oh no uw control is the best deck in pioneer

@43:02 since you had the field of ruin, why not animate restless anchorage twice instead of just once? To get 2 map tokens instead of one since they don’t have any creature lands for you to field of ruin

@svveatrag4562

the restless land cycle has the attack trigger separate from the activated ability, doing it twice wont make two maps

The question on everyone's mind is. Are you a cat or dog person?

After watching this and playing this and against this in standard, I’m pretty sure sunfall is just a better card than supreme verdict. The exile is relevant quite often and the incubate token often wins the game or also has to be removed. I think its worth 1 more mana

@grambo2020

3 ай бұрын

You can just board in rest in peace and verdict = the same outcome for exile. Pioneer alot of times you don't have time for 1 more mana. Verdict is just well rounded cheaper and can't be countered

@highwindjump88

Spell Pierce is brutal against Sunfall. Also, Spirits still sees some play, and Sunfall is countered by Mausoleum Wanderer. Verdict is hit by Queller, but the 1 drop countering 5 mana hurts way more than 3 mana stopping a 4 cost.
