Former Esports Shoutcasting Guy & Analyst talks about Magic decks, metagames, and general thoughts. I really like Pioneer.
Unlikely Pioneer Powerhouses: Dimir Rogues vs Azorius Lotus Field
Two off-meta powerhouse decks go head-to-head at "Super" competitive Pioneer hosted by @SVCardArt ! Can the Dimir Rogues lists out-pace an Azorius Lotus Field deck built to Control the board with accelerated mana?
Dimir Rogues takes the kindred theme to the next level, playing at mostly Instant speed to try and pressure both the life total and library of it's opponent, while the Azorius Lotus Field deck looks to end the turn on both sides of the table to stall out in time for Teferi to be the Hero of the game!

From decks that would use it in a more combo centric way, to decks that just cared about playing a few creatures and chucking them at their opponents face, the Izzet colors have been an outlet for spellslingers to live their animation dreams.
