#116 - Pioneer Staples: We know what you need

Or at least I'd like to think that we know what cards you need for Pioneer if you're getting into the format. We've been doing Pioneer set reviews for longer than I care to remember, and we also went over every plane in Pioneer before Eldraine came out, breaking down all of the mechanics, staples, and playable cards in each. That, coupled with our constant contact with MTGO greats like Harry13SCO, ClaudiohMTG, and EkerossMTG, leads me to believe we know or stuff and we want you to know it as well.

 

Starting from Throne of Eldraine, Kevin and I go through every card that has shown up in Pioneer and discuss whether or not we can consider it a staple of the format that players should have in their collection. With so many people jumping into the format now, it seemed like a good time to help people put together their paper collections. Whether you're starting your collection from scratch, filling in missing slots in your playsets, or on the fence about whether or not to bite the bullet and get a card, you'll want to listen to this episode!
