It's Pioneer week here in Instant Deck Tech land! Today we look at the the storm-style combo deck of the format, Awakening Ascendancy which looks to go infinite with Jeskai Ascendancy and Sylvan Awakening!

Two Griffin Aeries with a single one-of that gains life. Two Ruin Crabs with no mill synergies. A million seemingly random one-ofs. Sounds like it's Meme or Dream (formerly Jank or Dank) time!

Brawl is one of my favorite formats to play on Arena as I wait for a new set to release, so today we're going to combo off with Zada on just an 18 rare budget!

The full set is Theros: Beyond Death is out, which means it's time to start looking a decks featuring cards from Magic's newest set. Today we look at one of the decks I'm most excited for in Standard: Mono-Black Devotion!

Mono-Red Prison has been in a bad spot in Modern ever since Simian Spirit Guide was banned. Is playing as many Chandras as possible the way to bring Blood Moon, Chalice of the Void, and friends back to prominence?

Elves were once feared in what feels like a millennia ago. But Tarkir Dragonstorm brought us Craterhoof Behemoth. For the most part, we've got a good chunk of the pieces to assemble the elfball, let's see if it's still playable!

Can the plan of killing opponents on Turn 2 or 3 with Kiln Fiend, pump spells, and Temur Battle Rage work in 2020 Modern as well as it did back in 2015 when we first played the deck? Let's find out!

"You win the game" are the four sweetest words that can be found on a Magic card, but not all "win the game" cards are created equal, so today we're going to rank all 30 of them from hardest to easiest!

Normally Urza, Lord High Artificer is used for its mana generating ability, but what if we build around his five mana "play the top card of your deck" ability and hope for some Unexpected Results?

People usually play Historic Brawl for fun. What happens if you instead try to build the saltiest deck possible, full of hard locks, stax, and taxes? Will anyone even play with you? Let's find out!

Intruder Alarm is considered to be such a scary combo piece that it was pre-banned in Historic, but what are the odds of using it to make infinite creatures in Timeless? Let's find out!

Creatures keep getting better and better. Some of the creatures that used to Top 8 Pro Tours and Worlds in the 1990s look laughable today. Here are the top 10 you probably won't believe actually used to be good!

Joe Dyer dives into Legacy on Magic Online as he talks about how to play the format in a digital space!

Tired of all those darn Red decks on the ladder? Looking for an absurdly narrow and specific way to fight them that will lose to pretty much every other deck? This is the deck for you!

There are a lot of three and even four-color decks in Standard. Is focusing in on one color and ramping into planeswalkers as fast as possible a good way to defeat the meta? Let's discuss!

Venturing into dungeons hasn't really taken off in Standard. Can the combo of Acererak the Archlich and Aluren make venture and dungeons into a real thing in a format a powerful as Legacy? Let's find out!

What if I told you that all you needed to do to win a game of Magic was draw as many cards as possible as quickly as possible? That's what Proft's Eidetic Memory has to offer!

Crime Novelist got a lot of hype during Murders at Karlov Manor spoiler season, but it hasn't seen much play. Can we write a Timeless crime novel and use the three-drop to combo? Let's see!

One of the weirdest Panharmonicon decks we've ever played was Dagger Burn, which kills to kill the opponent by giving them creatures and draining them with Dowsing Dagger and Rampaging Ferocidon. Can the deck work in Pioneer?

Ugin might read like in a way to where you'd load your deck up with a bunch of random colorless spells but Ugin might just be good on his own! This Golgari Ramp shell will test that.

You know who is down with their demons? Oildeep Gearhulk is! This card is one of Crim's favorite cards from Aetherdrift so naturally when the new and improved Dimir demons deck included the Gearhulk, it was time to get in the mech!

Before Adventures, companions, Oko, Omnath, and Golos, there was Energy: the broken Standard deck that kicked off the last few years of Standard bannings. Can it compete in Historic through a new Historic Horizons addition? Let's see!

Because Atraxa is overrated.

It's Pioneer week in Instant Deck Tech land! First up we have a deck that can potentially win the game on turn three with the help of a hasty Ilharg cheating Worldspine Wurm into play: GR Sneak Attack!

Now that we have Master of Death alongside Squee, Goblin Nabob as creatures that can return from our graveyard to hand each turn for free, what shenanigans can we pull off in Modern on a budget? Let's find out!

Fishbowl Thursday is a place for firsts. Take this week for example, it's the first time I've ever had to bleep out a word in the name of a deck. Is it possible to make infinite Squirrels in Modern? On Fishbowl Thursday it is!
