A History Lesson

This week we are joined by Kristos @kristosiivevo, a local player and streamer.  He has been grinding the historic ladder and spent all weekend watching the Zendakar Rising Championship.  We discuss the best decks from the weekend, what he is seeing on ladder and his general impressions on the format.  We also talk about the upcoming roll out of Pioneer on Arena and if that will save the format.
