I and most of the community has felt let down by this anthology. The point of anthologies, according to the Wizards statement, was to review the Pioneer meta and add cards to the explorer format from this. Some of the cards in the anthology are not and have never been Pioneer meta cards, so their addition to this anthology has caused many of us to shake our heads. I think the takeaway from a set like this is that the best intention of the player is not at the forefront, and other, maybe financially incentivized motives are at the forefront. I feel that sticking to your word of adding cards that are playable from the Pioneer meta is what needs to happen, not what was done with this most recent anthology. Hopefully there can be some sort of relationship mending after this, but unfortunately at this point, the community is disheartened.
