From hero’s to villains

U either die a hero (defending pioneer from the jaded modern players), or u live long enough to see urself become the villain (become angry pioneer players who constantly trash modern)

Great Podcast for Technical Insight and Funny Convo

I listen to my podcasts on Android, but fired up an iPad just to write a review to these fellow Big Boys from Texas. I don’t play Modern or Pioneer, but I appreciate their insight in hopes I can build my knowledge up for when Pioneer eventually makes it to Arena. Keep up the great work!!!

Top listen each week

This show is among my favorite podcasts. I look forward to hearing about how things are changing in modern and pioneer. Looking forward to seeing how the Dynamic Trio work around the spread of time zones.

Fun Pioneer podcast

I just started to play pioneer and this is a fun way to get information about the format.

I love this podcast so much

I can’t stop laughing. Not only is it a great, informative pioneer podcast, the hosts are legitimately funny and make you look foreword to the next podcast every time and sometimes even re-listen to the one you already listened to for the current week.

Great Format Coverage; Insanely Negative

Crew 3 Podcast has a great and fun dynamic with a lovely back and forth after you skip the first 15 minutes! Any thing that WotC says or does is twisted into the most horrendously cynical bad faith version and they riff on it for 10 minutes that is exhausting to listen to for anyone looking to have a fun time talking about magic. However! Their meta game analysis is very thorough and they have a really good read on the pulse of the format, as well as bringing on some great guests to talk about cool new decks (the Esper Greasefang Episode comes to mind). That’s nothing to say about the wonderful community they’ve cultivated on the discord that any pioneer lover should check out.

Please cut down on the word like like like like

This podcast is good for pioneer but one of the hosts say the word like way too much. Make sure to listen to the podcast and cut down on the filler words like and ummm
