My LGS planned to start a Pioneer League in the coming year and since most of my friends intend to attend that, I was going to give it a shot. I've been mostly playing in-paper Modern and Standard, but I've been bouncing on and off the game for years, so I'm not fully up-to-date.

I fondly remember playing skred red three/four years ago in modern and I was shocked that none actually tried to rekindle the flame of this specific archetype in Pioneer lately. I've read that Big Red was a dominant archetype in the format a few years ago, but as far as I'm aware of it was before proper snow-support from Kaldheim came out.

This is my first list: Fumarole Red

This is my current list: Fumarole Dragons

Creatures (11)

3 Glorybringer
3 Moonveil Regent
1 Stormbreath Dragon
4 Thunderbreak Regent

Sorceries and Instants (13)

3 Sweltering Suns
4 Tundra Fumarole
3 Draconic Roar
4 Frost Bite

Artifacts (7)

3 Implement of Combustion
4 Orb of Dragonkind

Planeswalkers (4)

2 Chandra, Dressed to Kill
2 Chandra, Torch of Defiance

Lands (24)

4 Faceless Haven
20 Snow-Covered Mountain

The core idea of the deck is that Modern's [[Skred]] becomes Pioneer's [[Tundra Fumarole]]. By virtue of having only snow lands, Fumarole becomes a "free spell" consistently T3 and pays us back with good double spelling. Then, I put in a suitable removal package made by Tundra Fumarole, [[Frost Bite]] and [[Sweltering Suns]], as appropriate.

In Skred Dragons, one of the key cards was [[Mindstone]] to be able to ramp up to the strong 4 CMC play as soon as possible. [[Orb of Dragonkind]] does a very good mindstone impression, since it ramps and filters Fumarole colorless mana, then could be dumped in the end-game to draw a dragon. I've built a dragon-based top end, with Thunderbeak and Moonveil Regent and Glorybringers.

Maybe the list is too old-school and I've got some cards I'm not fully sold on (such as Spell Satchell), but I think I've something interesting going on here. Thoughts?
