Brewer's Minute: Pioneer - Beating the Banned in Standard Cards

by SaffronOlive // Oct 25, 2019

Pioneer is here, and along with it a bunch of potentially broken cards and synergies. How can we build our decks to compete with (and hopefully beat) cards that were banned (or should have been) in Standard like Aetherworks Marvel, Felidar Guardian, Rally the Ancestors and Collected Company? That's the topic of this week's Brewer's Minute!

single scoop

Single Scoop: Izzet is Still a Problem Post Banning

The bannings will weaken Izzet but Izzet has so many good cards that I think it'll still be a top tier deck thanks to efficient answers like Into the Floodmaw and powerhouses like Proft's Eidetic Memory!
