It’s been quite a while since we talked about one drops in the Pioneer format (almost 3 years to be exact. Strixhaven had just come out!), but with the recent influx of powerful and useful one drops in Pioneer we felt it was time to revisit the topic! The First Pioneers talk about what used to be good, what new one drops have joined the previous ones, what one drops have potential, and which one drops are stuck in limbo with no decks to go into. If you’re looking for some cards to brew with, or hoping to revisit some past strategies, this week’s episode is a great deep dive into format’s best one mana cards!
If your favorite one drops didn’t get mentioned in the discussion, be sure to join the discussion about it in our Discord or on Twitter!
