Single Scoop: Riptide Gearhulk is Here to Torment Pioneer

by TheAsianAvenger // Apr 3, 2025

Riptide Gearhulk is one hell of a card. Its ability to provide a body that has Prowess and Double Strike means it can close games very quickly. With Yorion also being one of the popular companions in Pioneer, its only natural we tried to pair the bird and the bot together!

On top of the super sweet new Gearhulk, we got Stock Up which is making waves in older formats so naturally we had to play with it in Pioneer. As a Yorion deck does mean we have 80 cards to dig through, its really nice to be able to dig five cards deep. Oh and my closing statement is that it feels good to be reunited with one of my favorite control finishers of all time in Teferi, Hero of Dominaria >:3

Thanks for watching the content.

Single Scoop: Is The Mana Good Enough For a 4C Aggro Deck?

The current iteration of Allies in standard plays a lot like humans of old but is the mana in standard good enough to not stumble? The allies we'd get in black like Mai and Rock Rioter allow us to metagame Standard!
