    The strategy behind this anthology is both puzzling and disappointing. Clearly the Pioneer format is being prioritized quite highly by the organized play team, as it's the most common format for Regional Championships and the RCQ seasons. It's likewise apparent that the team behind these Anthologies is aware of the competitive Pioneer metagame, and has even shared a stated goal of mirroring the Pioneer and Explorer environments. And yet withholding specific cards needed to play certain decks, such as Hidden Strings in Lotus Field, deserves some kind of public acknowledgement or explanation.

    What is the point of these anthologies if not to expedite the transition from Explorer to Pioneer? How do you explain the decision to add cards that see little to no play in paper or Magic Online, while simultaneously withholding cards that are format staples such as Treasure Cruise, Oath of Nissa, Chained to the Rocks, and Hidden Strings?
