#127 - Fused Brews: The Best of Both Worlds

Bacon and Eggs. Cookies and milk. Apples and Oranges? Sometimes a combination works so well it's hard to imagine one part without the other. Other times the two parts bounce off each other to crash and burn. Magic the Gathering is no different. We've seen a number of strategies come and go in the Pioneer format, some lost to time, while others suddenly come back repackaged and better than ever. Take Jund Food for example. It was an okay deck until it wasn't. Rakdos Anvil was also good deck in its own right, but was never going to dominate by playing subpar cards. But when they came together into the Jund Sacrifice deck? Perfect. Adding Cauldron Familiar and Witches Oven really took the deck to another level. This got me thinking, are there other archetypes that we could meld together to make them better?

 

In this episode, The First Pioneers Kevin and Ryan brew up some decks that fuse two archetypes together and see if they could work. The combinations are endless though, and where we might have failed, maybe you could succeed! Be sure to jump into our Discord or Twitter later and share your own fused deck ideas. You never know, it might just be the next better than chocolate and peanut butter!
