#99 - Throwing Down the (Pioneer) Gauntlet

Are the cards banned in Pioneer really that bad? What if we were allowed to play one banned card in a deck? Which decks would come out on top and which cards would you choose? The First Pioneers are always looking for new ways to explore the format and in this week's episode we took a page out of the Modern Banned Guantlet that recently showed up on MTGO and decided to talk about something similar for the Pioneer format. I for one would love to see people getting the chance to experience the wild days of Pioneer's past and explore how these banned cards would fit into the current meta too.

With all the cards that have been added to the format since these bannings, are they still as dangerous or are they worse than before? We also talk about possible unbannings and how a Pioneer Alchemy format would look with "fixed" banned cards. If there is another banned card or deck you'd love to see return, be sure to share your thoughts in our discord or on Twitter!
