#48 - The Planes of Pioneer: Dominaria and the planes of Magic Origins

Magic formats are the sum of all their pieces, or so we would think. But as we get further and further away from the start of Magic the Gathering, the impact is felt much less. With Pioneer it's different. We get a little bit from every new set and plane we visit. While not one set has a stranglehold on the format, the loss of one would affect Pioneer considerably. That's why we enjoy doing these episodes where we explore Pioneer and find out where each plane fits in to the format.

As we near the end of this journey of exploration, only a few planes remain. Today it's the plane of Dominaria and the planes of Magic Origins. To understand the planes of Magic Origins, Kevin gives us a short lesson on all 10 planes involved and we talk about the background story for each.

We also discuss what archetypes the planes enable, what mechanics they introduce, and also go over what cards we think will have a big impact on Pioneer and ones that have already made quite the splash. Grab your hiking shoes boots and join us on today's expedition to Dominaria and beyond!
