# 49: Pioneer 101: Esper Yorion

Join us as we continue our series on the core decks that make up the Pioneer format!

Are you a control player that wants to play Pioneer and that is looking for a different take on the archetype? Do you love playing with Thoughtseizes? Are cards that are hard to interact with and give your opponents fits your thing? Then look no further than Esper Yorion! This 80 card deck gives you everything a control player could want and more.

 

Swedish native, Magic player, and MTGO grinder Rasmus Enegren (@mussie_99 on Twitter) joins us to talk about one of his favorite decks in the Pioneer format and explains why he likes it, what cards make up the optimal 80 for this unique take on control, and how the deck matches up against others in Pioneer. Whether you're thinking of playing it or want to know how to play against it you don't want to miss this episode!
