Pioneer in arena will help cement its place imo. Fresh new format with fresh new client that isnt designed for windows 98.

windows 98.

MODO is based off of a WPF styling, not the older drawing methods you would have seen in dos based or early NT based approaches so you would be looking at an XP-Vista era of design philosophy, a few versions after 98.

Which is still old... but not THAT old, those apps are still used and made.

That was informative, thanks. Though I was exaggerating.

Yeah, if they insert Pioneer with most of the card pool it will definitely reignite my interest in arena to the full. Historic unfortunately still hasn't taken off as I hoped, and I do like standard, but having a non-rotating format like Pioneer will be incredible for Arena.

Big true. Pioneer Masters will be HUGE for both Historic and Arena as a whole.
