Pioneer Metagame

Explore the best decks in the metagame for the Magic: The Gathering Pioneer format. Our information is based on tournament data from MTG Meta and carefully curated by our expert players to ensure their accuracy.

Pioneer is the latest nonrotating constructed format featuring only Standard sets from Return to Ravnica and forward – no supplementary products. Currently, this format is available only for tabletop and Magic Online. We are including coverage on MTG Arena Zone as it will be coming to MTG Arena in the next few years and relates directly to its bridging format on MTG Arena, called Explorer. If you are interested in checking out Pioneer outside of MTG Arena, check out our beginner’s guide!
