WHAT IS PIONEER?

Tonight at KD Games we are playing the MTG format - Pioneer, but for though's new to the format here is a brief overview...

Pioneer is a non-rotating format featuring cards from Return to Ravnica and forward

Pioneer is a constructed format and therefore adheres to the following constructed rules:
