Traditional Pioneer Constructed was the main format at the first Pro Tour tournament of the 2022-2023 season. The meta heading into the event favored decks like Rakdos Midrange and Mono-Green Devotion. But it was Pioneer decks like Izzet Creativity, piloted by Reid Duke, who won Pro Tour Phyrexia—along with builds like Enigmatic Fires and Selesnya Auras—that were played in the top eight playoffs.
