The Pioneer format has caught my attention for a while now though our local MTG Iloilo community still has to hold its first tournament of the said format. For now, I am checking on the streams and live coverage of the major tournament and one of which is the current Players Tour in Brussels. They have already wrapped up the Swiss rounds on Day 2 and published the Top 8 players along with their decklists. One Top 8 deck that I will feature today is Sultai Delirium and this is piloted by Joel Larsson.
I was able to pilot a Golgari deck based on that strategy before in its Standard days and it was sort of a midrange deck with the top curve of casting Emrakul, the Promised End.
