The Five Best Explorer Decks for the Best-Of-One Qualifier Play-In Event

How’s it going everyone?

I’m back again this time to discuss the latest Arena Qualifier Play-In weekend, which features best-of-one (bo1) Explorer this upcoming weekend and best-of-three (bo3, Traditional) Explorer on the 17th. Explorer recently went through a shakeup with the banning of Winota, Joiner of Forces and with the latest ban announcement, Expressive Iteration has joined the ban list as well. While Expressive Iteration wasn’t as dominant a card in Explorer as it was in Pioneer, to keep the banlists in sync, Expressive Iteration was also removed from Explorer.
