The Pauper Format Panel had its fourth anniversary this past weekend, so I took the opportunity to write about the actions taken by the panel in that time!

Check out my new article over at @coolstuffinc.com and learn a bit about the work of the PFP!

Many resources for me, less resources for opponents. Tilt the game.

RIW Hobbies & Games - 2025 PAUPER INVITATIONAL RECAP & UPDATES FOR 2026 2025 was a fantastic year for MTG Pauper here at the shop in Livonia, Michigan. We’d like to begin by thanking everybody who played and/or worked behind the scenes to make the Pauper Championship Seri...

RIW Hobbies in Livonia, Michigan ran a year long MTG Pauper series and held an end of year Invitational.

It turned out really cool and was a lot of fun and the shop is running it back in 2026.

RIW Hobbies & Games - Preparing to Qualify for RIW’s Pauper Invitational Despite my affinity for Modern and being knee-deep in the Standard RCQ season, I’ve been getting back into Pauper for RIW’s Pauper Championship Series. Not only are there eight major events this year...

riwhobbies.com/preparing-to...
I'm shifting my focus to Pauper because RIW's 5k Invitational in December is great value with just 16 players to qualify. Eight major events to get me there. I did a Pauper writeup to prepare. Shares appreciated! #RIW

It’s kind of sweet that you can choose a changeling for yourself and keep your team.

RIW Hobbies & Games - Jeskai Blink Sideboard Guide (No Ragavan) I’ve been exploring Jeskai Blink in Modern because the strategy is both fun and provides plenty of deckbuilding options. Today I return with a different take on Jeskai Blink that combines the aspects...

New Jeskai Blink sideboard guide/deck walkthrough is up! The deck feels more my speed without Ragavan. Shares appreciated as always =) #riw
