  • Common Ground 35: Polarity of Pauper a Symptom of Format Diversity
    Aug 1 2024

    Welcome back Pauper fam! This week's topic is inspired from a friend of the show's question "Do you think Pauper is a polarized format?". The crew takes this question and look at the current meta to help answer. It is common to hear someone refer to a format as diverse when in reality five decks are reasonable choices. Pauper though is truly diverse with many many decks landing in the solid tier two range which can lead to some Polarized games with so many unique deck choices. Join the crew as they break this thesis down. Enjoy!

  • Common Ground 33: A New Gleeful Combo Deck
    Jul 18 2024

    Welcome back Pauper fam! This week the crew goes over a couple different topics. Firstly Hippo goes over a local tournament he played in with BG Dredge. Then the crew talks about the new combo deck on the block Sadistic Glee combo. Glee combo can be built in a few ways mainly Jund midrangey and Golgari more all in. The crew tends to gravitate towards the Jund deck as it reminds them of Splintertwin of the olden days. The Jund version is unique in Pauper as its a combo deck that can also win a fair game unlike most other combo decks in Pauper. Thank you enjoy!

  • Common Ground 31: Rakdos Phoenix in Pauper
    Jul 4 2024

    Welcome back Pauper fam! This week no Thomas as he is traveling for some well deserved relax time, drive safe! The show continues with Cameron and Hippo talking about a Pauper local Cameron played in with Rakdos Madness burn. Rakdos Madness is compared to Phoenix this episode because of the card Sneaky Snacker. At heart this deck is still a burn deck that focuses on putting your opponents life total to zero while padding your life with drain spells. Lots of fun to be had!
