Welcome to Pioneer! This is a rare opportunity for Magic players. A new competitive format has been announced, and we get to be among its first players. While the landscape of the format is uncertain, please abide by the following rules:
  • All MTGNexus Rules Apply
    Obviously, abide by our rules. "I didn't know the rules" is not an excuse for not following them.
  • All Forum and Thread-Specific Rules Apply
    In line with the first point, please abide by any thread-specific and forum-specific rules
  • No Bashing the Format, Other Formats, Authors, Deckbuilders, Players, etc.
    Please remember to be respectful when disagreeing with others, be it forum users, content creators, Wizards of the Coast staff, and others. "Bashing" is defined as severe criticism with the purposes of attacking or complaining about a subject. Format bashing includes, but is not limited to; categorically negative generalizations about the format experience, its decks, or its players; venting frustrations without evidence and/or constructive suggestions. While you are free to disagree with each other, don't be a jerk about it.
  • If You See Someone Breaking the Rules, REPORT IT
    Don't get involved in a flame war or retaliate with insults, just report it. Let us deal with it. Retaliating is not a reason to break the rules.
  • Don't Post Decklists to Pioneer General
    The main Pioneer forum is for format-wide issues, single card discussions, questions about Pioneer, tournament discussion, and other broad issues. Decklists need to go in Developing for the time being.
Previewed/Spoiled Card Policy
  • During a preview/spoiler season, keep discussion of these cards in the designated "spoiler thread" in Pioneer General. Single card discussions for spoiled cards are NOT allowed until the whole set is released. That said, feel free to discuss any previewed/spoiled card in on-topic threads.
  • If a card is not on the Official MTG Nexus Spoiler Page, yet is believed to be in the new set, it is considered a rumor or speculation. Users may not discuss rumored and speculated cards in the Pioneer forum.
  • When discussing a new card, or any card really, please give your reasons for why you think that card is playable.
  • If you put a spoiled card in a decklist, please LINK to the spoiled card in our spoiler list.
