Appreciate all the metagame challenge events that are happening this month and the start of January.

If either u/WotC_Jay or any other Arena Team members see this. Will there be an article for collecting Pioneer Masters? As I am wondering what the drop rates will be for the bonus sheet rares and mythics in Play Boosters? Also what they will be in Store packs? Plus any information for the main set drop rates as well?

Collecting article comes out tomorrow, and it will have all of this information!

3 questions:

1) Will I still be able to open Urborg in packs, or is it only a bundle promo?

2) What draft events for PIO will be available on release?

3) What time will the set drop? Will it be the usual mid-afternoon (EST) or will it be earlier?

  1. Yes, it's still in packs as normal (store & limited)

  2. Premier Draft will be available on release

  3. We plan to release it at the normal time - around 9am Pacific, give or take

Thanks! For Premier Draft is that BO1, BO3, both, or other?

Both Premier (Bo1) and Traditional (Bo3) draft will be available

maybe @u/WotC_Jay can answer this? I hope they will rename it as soon as possible

What I said last month in the State of the Formats article is still the plan. When we get to a format that has all of the competitive Pioneer cards, we will rename the format to Pioneer. We think Pioneer Masters gets us there. We are eager to see how the metagame develops and what the player response to the format is now. That information, both quantitative & qualitative, will let us all know that it's time to change the name.
