Staying Away from the Hammer

The hammer struck swift and true. Wizards of the Coast wasn’t playing around when they said they would be acting decisively and often. The fledgling Pioneer format knew something was going to banned eventually, but we thought we had more time. While the writing might not yet be on the wall for some cards, you can definitely see somebody reaching for a paintbrush.

You can speculate for hours about what might be next on the anvil for the ban hammer, but what is safe? If you’re still on the fence about joining the format because you’re scared of buying into it and getting your deck neutered, listen to the First Pioneers as we talk about what decks and cards we believe are relatively, if not definitely safe from the hammer. Get off that fence and get started playing Pioneer today with our suggestions!
