We want Soulflayer and the Delve spells!
Please deliver!

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.

If you put lipstick on a chicken, it’s still a chicken.

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.

I am very disappointed in this Anthology. I play mostly Explorer and have no interest in purchasing this Anthology. I have most of the tier 1 and 1.5 decks built for Explorer with the exception of Angels. So I would be the target audience for an Explorer Anthology but this is an easy pass for me. The most disappointing thing about this Anthology isn’t the lack of cards that interest me specifically but rather the lack of cards that will propel the format forward. There will be no new Pioneer deck available after this set release. They added key pieces to Creativity decks but won’t definitively make that deck better. And key pieces to Lotus Control which may propel that deck from tier 2 up to tier 1.5.

25 more cards in EA3: thespian stage and syòva scrying are good ones, xenagos + worldspine wurm WAS a good combo re’laced by atraxa and the other 21 are almost useless…. That was really disappointing… no bring to light no soulflayer no chained no delve spells no oath of nissa… really tis anthology seems a joke…. Think about it cause this way a lot of players will lose hope to see a "real" piooner on arena…. Going so slow (2-3 cards every anthology so less than 10 good cards by year) we will need 3 years to get a piooner lite format….. too much time guys….

As someone who is limited to Arena now, but been playing Magic for like 2 decades I was very disappointed in this anthology.

My only paper deck is Pioneer Izzet Phoenix and unfortunately I've been unable to play a real version on arena because of the lack of delve spells. Every anthology announcement I was super excited that this would be the one to add Treasure Cruise, and I've been consistently disappointed. Recently I started playing on MTGO and although the UI is extremely clunky, being able to play real pioneer is a game changer. I anticipate that I'll primarily be playing MTGO until Arena can make Explorer more accurately represent pioneer.

I only play explorer and limited draft on arena. I'd love to see more cards that are actually used in pioneer rather than random cards that will barely be played by anyone. The upcoming EA3 is not worth it, and I won't waste my gems

why release anthologies in the first place if theres nothing of value in them? why not just say "we dont believe explorer is a good format and gonna discontinue support"? nobody is gonna spend that much money on draft chaff

Explorer is the format that keeps me engaged with magic—I’m thinking about buying a pioneer deck and likely won’t until I can play the format on arena as wel.

Definitely needs to be better than these bad releases once every few months

The fact that any meaningful additions to explorer are being dragged out for so long is hugely disrespectful to your playerbase.

People WILL play and PAY for pioneer on arena, it just does not exist yet.

I'd like to see more meta relevant and shaping cards being released into the explorer format as the meta tends to find itself quite stale.

Pioneer is quickly becoming my favourite format and something I would like to start competing in. I like to get my reps in and experiment with new decks on Arena as it's the most convenient for me and yet I know I'm being robbed of the true-to-paper experience because I'm not playing against the full scope of decks that Pioneer has to offer.
Who was asking for Accorder's Shield? Where are you guys pulling your card pool data from?
How hard would it have been to include Bring To Light?
Treasure Cruise?
Is Delve really that complex of a mechanic? The game seems to handle Escape no problem.
I don't think people would be as frustrated with this anthology if there was a reasoning provided behind each card but instead we are left wondering who this anthology is for. It's definitely not Pioneer players.
