The Dive Down

Episode 321: Pioneer Comes to Arena! Mostly!

Listen Later

This week we take a little break from Modern and dip our toes back into Pioneer, thanks to its official premier on Arena. The team discusses our impressions of Pioneer right now, our impressions of Arena right now, and, finally — you guessed it — our impressions of Pioneer on Arena right now. Dave uses his artist's talent to bring back the birbs. D00mwake finds some affinity for artifacts in Pio and Modern. Stan capably moderates a spicy discussion while remaining a healthy distance from any gem-based economies.
