Any and all suggestions are welcome!

In it's current configuration and the stars aligning correctly the deck can go off on turn 3. The hand would have to be Elvish Mystic, Elvish Mystic, Starscape Cleric, Bloodthirsty Conqueror, any land that enters untapped and produces green, and any 2 lands that enters untapped and produces black.

Combining Bloodthirsty Conqueror + Starscape Cleric + Lifegain or Opp Life Loss and no removal = WIN! This version attempts to do it as quickly as possible.

Updated [2025 03 08] Reconfigured the whole deck after a lot of trialing and even more ERRORING! LOL. I hope you like this rendition of the infinite lifedrain combo in Pioneer.

Updated [2025 03 11] after running a few games in ranked Diamond I've done some more smoothing. This version runs better, for the most part. There have been a few games the deck struggles to get going. Once it does though it's a wrecking ball. Consistent turn 5/6 is okay. Not sure I can speed that up and be consistent still. Distractions from the combo, like the overlords, seem to suit the deck very well in this meta game. Any and all suggestions welcome!

Updated [2025 03 26] Modified the deck further. This version is the most robust. I've made it to Diamond Tier 2 from Bronze (with it being upgraded during that time.) I'm very impressed with the deck. Decided using the Overlords and the Traverse was better than the Analyze setup I previously had. May look at putting more into the deck with something that let's me advance my mana while filling the graveyard.

Update [2025 03 30] finally made Mythic vis Bo1! Very pleased with the deck.
