#15: Here comes A New Challenger (deck)!

Wizards of the Coast has been releasing challenger decks for years and while there have been more misses than hits, they’ve been doing a lot better as of late. Back when we were a Frontier podcast we had fun making our own starter/challenger decks for people getting into that format, but now that the Pioneer metagame has started to solidify we thought it would be good to revisit this topic. Prices are starting to go up on some cards and players getting into the format need to have a good jumping off point to get them started. Challenger decks seem like a great way to deal with both problems. In today’s episode Kevin and I pick 6 of the strongest decks in Pioneer and discuss how we’d make a cheap challenger deck for new players as well as a budget deck that’s a bit more expensive but also more powerful.
