Explorer Anthologies should mostly contain Pioneer playable cards. An inspirational list is attached:

agree with this comment below: Please consider sticking to your word of "our priority on card implementation will be driven by what we see in the Pioneer Constructed meta."

Worst product you’ve released on Arena to date. I stopped spending money about a year ago when I saw a focus on digital only magic and no compensation for banned cards.

Are you serious with that shield? Come on now, you should be embarrassed with the quality of the explorer anthology list

As a player of all formats who doesn’t care about competitive play, keep up the great work with anthologies! EA3 and HA7 looks great.

WOTC, please consider sticking to your word of "our priority on card implementation will be driven by what we see in the Pioneer Constructed meta." It's okay to add fun pet cards in these anthologies as long as the main focus is adding cards that are relevant to the meta. Explorer anthology 3 absolutely does not stick with your own words.

Incredibly disappointed with the selections for explorer anthology 3 as pioneer is my favorite format. This is making me reconsider investing my money and time into arena

Kinda disappointed at the lack of Pioneer Staples in the most recent Explorer set. I was planning to purchase this set upon originally hearing about it as I’ve been on a big explorer kick recently. With this being mostly bulk, I think I’ll refrain from purchasing.

The first two Explorer anthologies were decent buys. They opened the door to some new decks. The most recent one is uninspired and frankly not worth the cost. I'm going to skip this one.
It seems like it would have been trivial to make this one a slam dunk like the previous two (not to mention the Historic anthology coming out at the same time. Please use the first two EAs as your metric when compiling future products like this. Thank you.

I’m just astonished that this collection was offered with a straight face. It’s so insulting.

I love arena, and I’ll keep playing. But, I will only be redeeming wild cards i earn free during game play for two cards out of this set. Gotta vote with my wallet, won’t be buying EA3.

I might also suggest a brawl anthology for all the fun Commander enjoyers a good place to get singleton copies of fun (albeit, not "competitive") legendaries, the face cards from all the sweet set commander decks, and other commander staples.

Explorer Anthology 3 was a complete disappointment with only two relevant cards. Additionally the introduction of 4/5 enemy colored guild charms while skipping the 5th and most important one (regardless of color combination) is ridiculous and an obvious move to hold back a card important to not just to Explorer but Historic as well.

At least explain your decisions or be transparent about the process….

If you’re just releasing “Brawl Anthologies”, do that!
We’ll welcome it!
Managing player expectations is important for player retention.

I’ve purchased every Anthology from 3 on. Once Historic started using Alchemy cards, Explorer was my main format. But this Anthology is a solid pass for me. There are only 2 cards here that are relevant to the current Pioneer meta and this set isn’t worth the cash to own them.

This anthology was absolutely a miss when it comes to meeting player expectations. I acknowledge that each anthology aims to introduce staples as well as a few fun, notable, and interesting cards to the format. This release falls short in both those regards. I really hope the next anthology is absolutely stellar and brings much much better cards to explorer than this one.

I really think that since the end goal is to bring all of pioneer into arena the important thing is to import more played and competitive cards, those that make more decks playable at a competitive level

This anthology is a joke, a bad one. 0 mana equipment I've literally never heard of and I've been playing since 2014. This'll be the first one that I don't purchase, I'm not even sure there's anything worth crafting.
