IMO the biggest mistake of Pioneet masters was putting Akroan crusader at common. I also disliked the rotating bonus sheet aspect. Other than that, actually liked this format a lot. Thought they kinda nailed the color balance and really enjoyed the variety of decks you could draft.
For a masters set, it seemed like it was slower and that there was not much removal/interaction as compared with some of the recent standard sets. Of course I only drafted the format 8-10 times so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
That’s a sick rakdos deck. Sad it didn’t go all the way after a hot start. I totally agree in your argument that they should have made red aggro a bit weaker (akroan crusader at common is the biggest culprit), and made green a bit stronger (this one I’m not sure what they could’ve added, tbh). Outside of gates deck, I seldom touch green as base color. All in all, I still enjoyed PIO when I’m not battling against Boros aggro. 😂
I have seen game 1 so far. Great drafting and gameplay. Nice farewell to Pioneer Masters!
ggs!
Really great game one to showcase the deck. Lets go Paul
I like supernatural stamina with all of the sacrifice
My last draft was boros but going crusader into trip spirits into dictate of heliod seemed a fitting farewell to the format.
Nice last draft! I’ll miss pioneers myself, i loved destroying boros! Haha
i will not miss this set one bit

Also this deck was a BANGER!
Agreed on Crusader. It should have been an uncommon for sure.

All I can say is What a deck :D
Any thoughts on game six using sidisi for the second manticore?

In the last game, the turn you played nantuko husk, wasn't it better to kill the untapped wyvern with pia activation + wild slash, then attack for 6?
Very possible. I think I was too tunnel visioned into going for the win with the manticore.
Hey paul! This is the second or third time I’ve seen you not kill cloudfin when you had the chance and it bit you in the butt! Always kill the bird 😂
Yeah you might be right!
Lets do something fun 😁
Skips sire 😢
I like having fun but I also like to win
