Love this. One idea that would also be helpful is looking at how the meta shifts from week to week, rather than just challenge to challenge. I think showing the pie chart from last week compared to this week and seeing which decks had a higher or lower % share would be really valuable to watch the meta evolve
I imagine this probably takes alot of time and effort to make. The visuals are fantastic and greatly appreciated. My only wish would be a little bit more at the end of "this is what I think" section. Take my like to show you this content is bangin
looking forward to the planeswalker video if you end up doing that. deck looks awesome with that card that lets you immediately ult. immediate ult on those ultimate is gonna let you endlessly go bigger than any single deck in the format i think so that's super cool. if you live long enough to ofc.
Great content, I love the breakdowns and insight. I would say keep at it! Possibly with a shift in focus between at least the 2 major non-rotating formats but even with Standard thrown in. I think data that trended over 2-3 weeks would show even more interesting insights potentially with patterns emerging. I do like the idea of really drilling down into the important format of the time (i.e. like you are here with a very important Pio tournament around the corner) but rotating formats during the RCQ seasons and the the major SCG event tournament schedule would be pretty valuable
Been missing having this kind of content regularly. Would love to see it for Modern and Pioneer. Like the idea of rotating each format. Could stagger them to check in on each format every two weeks.
I think the phoenix deck ebbs and flows so often is because, despite the deck being very powerful and very popular, it is a somewhat difficult deck to pilot, especially compared to decks like atarka red
I liked this style of video! Keep up... Just a comment on your Rakdos Prowess approach: I don't think the deck suffer to spot removal as you said... Claim // Fame changes everything. Phoenix is a great matchup, Rakdos Mid is beatable and Jund Sac also is pretty beatable. The deck only suffers to Angels... But all the rest the deck seems slightly favored. Is hard to pilot the deck on a pro level, but the deck pays off. I really think Rakdos Prowess will be on of the most played decks on RCs.
Phoenix is great against prowess cause of the 8 one mana interaction, the other decks could not afford be good against rakdos and phoenix, hope the beating of prowess get more space for phoenix side tec
I don’t know if I quite agree on the match up spread. I find phoenix, angels, and jund sac easier as prowess. UW control is very 50/50. The real issues you have a random combo agro decks. Quint, fires, bring to light. Basically anything that has disruption with a combo finish is brutal.
Love the break down, I don’t play that much pioneer but still like keeping up with all the other formats. Any chance you’ll consider doing this for modern also?
Potentially. I was thinking about keeping it to Pioneer up until the Regional Championship in October, but possibly could cycle formats week to week after that.
I actually think the jund sac is weak to the rakdos aggro deck, you just kinda run over them and they don't gain enough life to make it relevant. I know i've only lost a couple of games to jund sac as rakdos.
I love this episode but I think the video title needs work. If this wasn't you, I would never have clicked this. Perhaps "Ranking Pioneer Decks" Or "What decks can beat Pioneer Phoenix" or "The Pioneer Metagame" Maybe it's just me, but this title seems a little uninspired compared to yours/ others typical content. The video itself was great. Keep on keepin' on.
It's not uncommon for both a 32 player challenge and 64 player challenge to be running at the same time. Some of the MTGO Grinders join both challenges concurrently to maximize their potential winnings. So I think d00m is getting at the fact that really linear decks, like RB Prowess, are easier to pilot in two matches at the same time and could be over represented because of it. Hope this helps!
Oh wow. Everything I loathe about our no attention span culture inventivized on mtgo. Yet another reason I hate the platform and will probably stick to paper most of the time

big fan of this content
Im so glad that we finally have someone doing this in the community

What a fantastic call!! Would show the changes more clearly from the meta shifts. Love it
@@isaakward4393 Thanks! This was actually an idea I had for a software project, so I'm going to try and make a website that does this automatically
Planeswalker decks are traditionally called Superfriends btw
I miss fun names like that
I imagine this probably takes alot of time and effort to make. The visuals are fantastic and greatly appreciated. My only wish would be a little bit more at the end of "this is what I think" section. Take my like to show you this content is bangin
This was so well done! Thanks for the Pioneer content, it's been so great since the bans, these videos are super helpful for jumping back in.
Bloomburrow uncommons making a splash. Wild.
Great breakdown. Love the pie charts

I’m new to MTG and this is the format I’m trying to primarily play. This is super helpful!

Please continue doing these, they're very informative and make it easy to keep up with the meta
Great content! I'm also on the Phoenix train and a card I'm very excited to test is Fear of Missing Out
You have a subscriber in me. phenomenal content. Keep up the modern/standard/pioneer content
I liked this style of video! Keep up...

I got to admit your content has improved significantly over the past 6 months. More videos like this
Its always great to see this kind of content, thanks for making it!
I love these vids I personally feel you are kinda the pio guy and this could be a great weekly special for the foreseeable future
This is great. Honestly there is a severe lack of videos breaking down pioneer.
really liked these graphics, adds a lot to visualize the content!!
The Rakdos prowess deck is going to get a boost with Duskmourn, I'm guessing people are getting ready to ride that wave.
This is great content!
I’m as we didn’t see more spirits and humans
Awesome video format
Phoenix is great against prowess cause of the 8 one mana interaction, the other decks could not afford be good against rakdos and phoenix, hope the beating of prowess get more space for phoenix side tec
Atarka red doesnt run any protection. Its the aloe alchemist+cunning coyote deck with bushwaker as the wincon
Some of the versions were prowess creatures and blossoming, I should probably break those down into separate archetypes
My man came through I knew it
Great content 🫶
Wonder what you think about Boros control as it has good matchup against Prowess and Phoenix
Eh I’m not convinced on its Phoenix matchup. I do think it steamrolls rakdos though and you can maybe dedicate some extra sb slots to Phoenix
Huge fan of this! Please do more of this and show off a version of each deck
I don’t know if I quite agree on the match up spread. I find phoenix, angels, and jund sac easier as prowess. UW control is very 50/50. The real issues you have a random combo agro decks. Quint, fires, bring to light. Basically anything that has disruption with a combo finish is brutal.
keep doing this pls
I saw a Jund prowess that was indeed using blossoming defense. Will be interested based on the meta
Shower time
Love the break down, I don’t play that much pioneer but still like keeping up with all the other formats. Any chance you’ll consider doing this for modern also?

Is resplendent angle worth picking up at 5 CAD. It used to be 40
I assume so? It got reprinted which tanked the price
Doomwake without a hat doesn't exi.....😅
That's what happens when you're bald :D
You kidding right? New set has plenty that can affect pioneer. Play testing is a must but 100% already have 2 new decks and 1 addition to existing…
Is boros control actually winning matchups?
Somehow 😂
@@d00mwake as a bard class player that’s terrible news for me. Where can I find a list?
Ban Sheoldred!
I actually think the jund sac is weak to the rakdos aggro deck, you just kinda run over them and they don't gain enough life to make it relevant. I know i've only lost a couple of games to jund sac as rakdos.
Same experience here. I only lose to exactly cat devil oven
As the vídeo is shorter, u could put 2 on youtube when doing This type of content
I love this episode but I think the video title needs work. If this wasn't you, I would never have clicked this.
Perhaps "Ranking Pioneer Decks"
Or "What decks can beat Pioneer Phoenix" or "The Pioneer Metagame"
Maybe it's just me, but this title seems a little uninspired compared to yours/ others typical content.
The video itself was great. Keep on keepin' on.
Appreciate the feedback, that's very helpful! Glad you enjoyed :)
I'm gonna sound like such a boomer here but. . . what on earth is "double-queueing?"
