#71 - Building your Paper Pioneer Collection - Mono colored

Vaccinations and masks permitting, the threat of pandemic will fade and we'll be back in our local game stores in the next few months playing Magic the Gathering with our friends. But if you're like Kevin and Ryan on the First Pioneers, then you probably haven't been buying a lot of MTG singles over the past year. Sure we had a lot of the pre-Covid cards in paper, but when it comes to everything that was released last year, our collections are severely lacking.

 

On a previous show, our guest Amit (EkerossMTG) had mentioned that because he plays most of his games on MTGO, that he actually has very few cards in Paper. So we got to thinking, there are probably a lot of other people out there in the same situation. If we plan to play the Pioneer format in Paper in a few months, we better be ready for it. Part staple and part finance episode, this new series will focus on what cards every Pioneer player should have in their paper collection. Sure there might be more staples in each color, but we feel like these cards are probably the most necessary in order to build either a large variety of decks or to play some of the best decks.

 

Luckily for our listeners, most of our suggestions in white, blue, black, red, and green don't break the bank! If you're itching to play Magic in Paper again and only got into the format during the pandemic, you definitely don't want to miss this! Also, if we missed a card you think should have been included be sure to @ us on Twitter or join the discussion in our Discord!
