Pioneer Masters a digital-only reprint set that will be released on Magic: The Gathering Arena on December 10, 2024. The set was originally planned for release at the end of 2020. It is designed as a draftable set featuring 394 cards.

Pioneer Masters combines cards from all the sets legal in Pioneer, pulling them together into a single set for both Limited and Constructed play. It is designed to “fill out those remaining archetype gaps” that are not currently in Explorer, while also “being a fun experience on its own”. It brings many cards to MTG Arena for the first time as Wizards of the Coast works towards their goal of parity with competitive Pioneer in tabletop. Once Pioneer Masters is released, Explorer will be renamed to Pioneer.

Similar to Shadows over Innistrad Remastered, Pioneer Masters features a bonus sheet. It also features a similar draft structure, with each week featuring a different subset of the cards being available for Limited events.
