If you take a look at older eternal formats such as Legacy or Modern the decks, for the most part, are optimized. Sure new sets shake them up every once in a while, but you'll never have a red deck NOT playing Lightning Bolt or a white deck NOT playing Sword to Plowshares or Path to Exile. Is that true of Pioneer though?
When people say that Pioneer isn't fun because there are only a few good decks or that it's solved, I can't help but shake my head and sigh. I for one, do not honestly believe that Pioneer is anywhere close to being a solved format and in this week's episode Kevin and I (along with our re-occuring guest Amit, a.k.a. EkerossMTG) to explain why we think so.
Sure there are a few decks that seem to be optimized for the Pioneer metagame, but in our opinion the large majority of them still have work to be done. We talk about what decks need optimization, what optimizing a deck in Pioneer means, as well as how to optimize decks. Whatever deck you're playing, listen to this week's episode and ask yourself if YOUR deck is optimized. If it isn't, join our Discord community to talk about how to optimize it or if it is we'd love to see it!
