Why are these planeswalkers able to so fundamentally change how magic is even played? I've always been a fan of goodstuff.deck but recently I just can't stomach it.
Ironically, Pioneer seems to be the least effected format to Oko/Tef. Maybe it's because threats and counterspells are slow/bad enough that Murderous Rider really keeps down the effect of planeswalkers? I guess the other main deck, mono green, has a lot of creatures that are either elves (not elks) or big +1/+1 counter creatures that become "big elks." Hopefully it stays that way, I haven't had as much fun playing magic in a long time.
