After many years of on-and-off development, MTG Arena's much-anticipated Pioneer Masters set has now arrived. As you might imagine by the name, the Pioneer Masters set bring with it an avalanche of competitive Pioneer staples, as well as some fun bits of jank for every Arena format besides Standard and Alchemy.

The goal behind the set is to make Explorer as close to competitive Pioneer as possible, so that it could eventually ditch its temporary name and become 'true' Pioneer. When exactly this will happen, nobody outside of Wizards of the Coast currently knows, but I can't imagine it'll take long considering that the vast, vast majority of relevant Pioneer cards are now available on Arena.

Speaking of which, you can check out the full list of new additions over at the official card gallery. There's quite a few cards to go over, so you might want to grab a cup of coffee before you dive in!

As with any other major set, Pioneer Masters has also arrived alongside the usual limited game modes: Sealed and Draft. Of the two, I would heartily recommend trying Draft as the higher power level and card complexity has created a very compelling and challenging format - a complete opposite to the more beginner-friendly Foundations Draft.

Once the Arena team announces anything major I'll make sure to let you know, though that likely won't happen until next year. Until then, have fun brewing new decks!
