#130 - The Impact of the 2022 Pioneer Challenger decks and new Jumpstart sets

Yes, we know that most of the Jumpstart cards won't be legal in the Pioneer format, but we recognize the opportunity the set has for Pioneer "lite", or Explorer on MTG Arena. For the first part of the show Kevin and I talk about what cards we'd like to see show up in the 4 new Pioneer challenger decks coming out in October and which reprints would help the format the most. From there, we move on to the announcement about each standard set having a corresponding Jumpstart release along side of it.
If the last Jumpstart appearing on MTG Arena is any indication, new Jumpstart sets every few months can go a long way to bringing the Pioneer format to the masses on the platform. If we were to get a Dominaria United and Brother's War Jumpstart set, what would that look like? We go over reprints we'd like to see, cards that need to be in the Explorer format to bring Pioneer closer to a reality on there, and what cards could add more depth to Arena. Hopefully we'll all be playing a more true Pioneer format online by the end of the year!
