Pioneer 101: Bard Class and the Case for Combo – The First Pioneers #148

The Bard Class deck in Pioneer has been on everybody’s radar for a while now, but it’s yet to be played in large numbers. Part of this is probably because many people don’t understand how the deck works and how to play it, so in this week’s episode The First Pioneers invited ClaudiohMTG on to talk about it and to explain why it joins a larger family of combo decks in Pioneer.

While Bard Class is more of a storm deck that goes off and creates an overwhelming advantage on board for the win, the other combo decks in Pioneer have different ways of winning. After defining what we believe being a combo deck means, we break down every combo deck in the format, starting with the mainstays like Lotus Field and Parhelion, and then introducing some newer ones such as the Acererak Infinite Dungeons combo and the Storm Herald Combo that broke out at recent Pioneer events during the Regional Championship season.

Whether you’re a combo player looking to try something new, or somebody trying to understand all of these combo decks in Pioneer so you’re not ‘caught with your pants down’ in the next tournament, you don’t want to miss this episode!
