In addition to in-store RCQs, it's always great to see the start of new tournament series with end-of-year championships. Yet many Regional Championship invites were awarded at these tournaments, and they provide a good barometer for the Pioneer metagame. This is only a selection of all RCQs whose decklists were published or linked by their organizers on their website or social media pages. Specifically, I used all published Magic Online decklists from scheduled Pioneer events held from April 19 through May 16, as well as Top 8 decklists from the RCQ at The Rogue Games, RCQ at Gamers Paradise, RCQ at Lvl 1 Gaming, RCQ at Chuck's Field of Dreams, Super Pioneer event at Arcanis Infinity, RCQ at Tabletop Gaming Center, RCQ at MeH Games, RCQ at Il Labirintho, RCQ at Dungeons & Javas, RCQ at Playtime Merate, RCQ at 95 Game Center, RCQ at El Nucli, RCQ at Nerdz Cards, RCQ at Three for One, RCQ at Level Up Games, F2F Tour Halifax, F2F Tour Montreal, RCQ at Hareruya Hiroshima, RCQ at Hareruya Tokyo, RCQ at Hareruya Osaka, RCQ at Card Box Seimado Yako, RCQ at Batloco Takadanobaba, RCQ at TCG Shop 193 Osu, RCQ at Yellowsubmarine Hyperarena, and Pioneer event at the Dutch Open Series. To grasp the latest Pioneer developments, I analyzed over 750 successful decklists from competitive events over the past month.

If you aspire to make it to the Pro Tour, then now is the perfect time to dive into the format. Through August 20, due to the new format matching policy, in-store RCQs are required to be either Pioneer or Limited, and they will qualify for a Pioneer Regional Championship later in the year.

Pioneer is a nonrotating format based on expansion sets and core sets from Return to Ravnica forward, with the most notable cards on the ban list being the fetch lands. Pioneer has not been static, so there's plenty to cover! The Pioneer Metagame The main innovations that I will highlight are Polukranos Reborn in Mono-Green Devotion, Faerie Mastermind in Dimir Rogues, the emergence of new Indomitable Creativity and Transmogrify decks, a novel combo deck with Rona, Herald of Invasion, Saiba Cryptomancer in Bant Auras, and the first impact of March of the Machine: The Aftermath. So today, I will provide a Pioneer metagame snapshot, and I will take a look at the biggest Pioneer innovations since the release of March of the Machine. While the best players in the world were focused on Pro Tour March of the Machine earlier this month, the current cycle of Regional Championship Qualifiers (RCQs) kept going. Hello and welcome back to Metagame Mentor, your weekly guide to the top decks and latest Constructed developments on the path to the Pro Tour.
