Pro Tour Murders at Karlov Manor was the first Pro Tour of the 2022–23 season. It took place on February 23-25 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Pioneer
With one year between each large scale event, each format would change significantly, with Pioneer being no exception. Mono-Green Devotion would completely vanish with the ban of Karn, the Great Creator, giving aggro decks a new lease, as 3-mana 4/4s were not as prevalent, as well as perennial contender Arclight Phoenix returning once more, this time as the top registered deck. For new decks, Amalia Benavides Aguirre created a new combo deck with Wildgrowth Walker, while Vein Ripper made for a surprise addition in a Vampire typal deck powered by Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord that Team ChannelFireball brought in. Finally, cross-format favorite Rakdos Midrange fell to third after No More Lies powered up Azorius control.
