If you're an overpowered Magic card in Pioneer, your days are numbered. The entire Pioneer Magic community was shocked by the sudden banning of Walking Ballista, Inverter of Truth, Kethis the Hidden Hand, and Underworld Breach. While players had been calling for some kind of shake up in the format, nobody expected Wizards to make such a decisive move that would not only 'nerf' one deck, but a handful of them all at once.
In today's episode we dive deep into the reasons behind the bannings, how the bannings will affect each archetype in Pioneer, and also which decks have the most to gain from this shakeup. If you're a player trying to make sense of things after your favorite card was banned, or if you are a returning player that is looking to pick up a new deck in this fresh meta, the First Pioneers and special guest MTGO grinder Harry13 cover a variety of options for both of you. While I'm sure some people will claim that their deck is dead, perhaps with a change or two your deck will be back on its feet with a new way to win! Be sure to listen to all of our suggestions and insights, and leave some of your own if you want!
