Wizards of the Coast will release ​2022 Pioneer Challenger Decks on November 4th worldwide except in Europe, which is delayed until December 9th. 2022 Pioneer Challenger Decks provide players with a 75-card  preconstructed Pioneer deck and sideboard. Challenger Decks are geared towards playing with friends and at a Friday Night Magic event. This year's Pioneer Challenger decks feature the archetypes of Izzet Phoenix, Dimir Control, Gruul Stompy, and Orzhov Humans.
