Brewing Pioneer: Aetherworks Marvel

Hello, and welcome to the first part in a series of making pioneer decks! With so many options to talk about, I want to start with one of my personal favorites, Aetherworks Marvel. 

So the way Aetherworks Marvel works is that you get a lot of energy in the early game and then use Aetherworks Marvel to look at the top six cards of your deck, if one of them is a big creature or amazing planeswalker, you are in luck and can play it for free. If it is not, then you can still play one of the cards for free, but you need to get more energy to use Aetherworks Marvel again. Keep getting more energy and using Aetherworks Marvel until you get a big creature to defeat your opponent with and win the game.

Now I'm not talking about any huge creature, I'm talking about the biggest creatures, the Eldrazi Titans. Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek. Now each one of these eldrazi has had two versions. The original cards in the first Zendikar block are not legal in Pioneer because they are older than Return to Ravnica. But the second versions are legal. Ulamog, the Ceasless Hunger, and Kozilek, the Great Distortion, were both in the Battle for Zendikar block, and Emrakul, the Promised End was in Eldritch Moon. Now, I am going to say that Kozilek, the Great Distortion probably isn't the best option for this deck. Ulamog and Emrakul seem like better options for finishing off the game.

So, we have a good selection of big creatures to play, but now we need cards to give us energy. The only place to find cards like that are in the Kaladesh Block. Now there are a lot of energy giving cards, but probably the best options are:

Attune with Aether

Harnessed Lightning

Rogue Refiner

Whirler Virtuoso

Woodweaver's Puzzleknot

Aether Hub

Servant of the Conduit

So now we have cards to give us energy, big creatures to bring out with Aetherworks Marvel, but do we want to run planeswalkers? That is up to you. There are a lot of options, Ugin the Spirit Dragon seems like a good card to run, and a few decks have been running Oko, Thief of Crowns as well. So now, here is a decklist for Temur Aetherworks Marvel:


Creatures:
2 Elvish Mystic
4 Servant of the Conduit
4 Rogue Refiner
2 Whirler Virtuoso
4 Emrakul, the Promised End
1 Ulamog, the Ceasless Hunger

Planeswalkers
4 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Spells
4 Attune with Aether
4 Harnessed Lightning
1 Abrade

Artifacts
4 Aetherworks Marvel
4 Woodweaver's Puzzleknot

Lands
4 Aether Hub
4 Breeding Pool
4 Stomping Ground
2 Botanical Sanctum
3 Steam Vents
2 Forest
1 Island
1 Mountain


That's all for today! I really like Aetherworks Marvel and brewing with it. Brewing Pioneer will return with more decklists and more Ideas.

New Challenger Decks

The new challenger decks were just announced! There will be four decks, each having sixty cards and a fifteen card sideboard. Each deck has a different theme, and the idea is that they will be standard playable right out of the box. The four new decks are: Allied Fires Final Adventure Cavalcade Charge Flash of Ferocity Allied Fires is a  Fires of Invention  deck with a heavy load of uncommon (and a few rare) planeswalkers. It's in the Jeskai colors, although I should note that the deck does include  Kenrith, the Returned King , which has abilities that not every color in the deck can use. Final Adventure is, like it's name, an adventure deck. It has a lot of adventure creatures, as well as synergies to go with them.  Edgewall Innkeeper  is there to provide some value and  Lucky Clover  can copy the adventure side of the creatures. Cavalcade Charge is a mono red aggro deck....that's about it. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The...

Pioneer

Pioneer, the new MTG format, was just announced by Wizards of the Coast. It has there full tournament support, and they have announced future tournaments for the format. But what is Pioneer? Pioneer is a non-rotating format, and the card pool is from Return to Ravnica and up. So that means you will be able to play cards from the Theros block, Tarkir block, Kaladesh block, and many more. A lot have been comparing it to frontier, and expecting it to fail, but there is a difference. Frontier had a smaller card pool and not a lot support from Wizards of the Coast. Pioneer is a bigger card pool, support from Wizards of the Coast, and even has competitive tournaments coming up. Pioneer has so much possibility, looking at all the decks from past standards, it's hard to decide what deck to play! Before I go any further, I do want to say that there is a ban list, but it only includes the five fetch lands from Khans of Tarkir. Which is fine with me, but at the same time there is so many...

Unsanctioned

Unsanctioned, a combination of all the un sets and a few new cards, comes out near the end of the month. It will contain five thirty card decks that can be combined in many different ways. But what are un sets and is this a good product to buy? In August, 1998, Unglued was released. It was the first un set to come out and contained silver bordered cards that were not tournament playable. Because of this, cards could do much different things than regular Magic cards and more odd possibilities could be put into set design.  The next set was Unhinged releasing in November of 2004, expanding on Unglued. Unhinged contained 141 cards, where as Unglued only had 88. Unhinged also contained beautiful full art lands that were great additions to decks. Once again all the cards were silver bordered and were not tournament legal.   And finally, Unstable, which came out in December, 2017. Unstable is one of the best of the bunch, it was made for drafting, and succeeded in ...
