Pauper Champ Week Finals 15-Nov; 188 Players! U Terror wins, with Spy in 2nd. Poison Storm in 3rd and Jeskai in 8th were both unexpected. Elves were the most played in the top 32 (5). Some cool 1-ofs in top 32; Tribe, Black Sac and Affaenity. Also nice to see 3 Cawgates in top 32. #MTGpauper

Pauper Special Challenge 13-Nov; 50 Players. U Delverless Terror wins, with the return of Jund coming in 2nd and 3rd. WB Blade comes from the dead in 4th with the new Axe/Goldhound Red deck in 5th. Affinity still the deck to beat with most in top 32 (5). Meta still settling. #MTGPauper

Pauper Special Challenge 12-Nov. 32 Players. The good part about a 32 player challenge is we can see the whole meta. U Terror and Grixis Affinity were easily the most played with 3 Affinity in top 4, Jund Wildfire still MIA. Jund Gardens did manage to win though, which was cool. #MTGPauper

Pauper Special Challenge 11-Nov; 48 Players. White Weenie wins with a clean 9-0. U Terror still takes up the most top 8 slots. Flicker Tron and Cawgates top 8ing is always nice to see. Poison Storm in 10th. Affinity was most played in top 32 (4), but ended with losing win rate. #MTGPauper

Pauper Super RC Qual 9-Nov; 278 Players! 12 rounds ended with Elves on top. 10 different decks in the top 10. U Terror (7) and R Madness (6) easily had the most decks in top 32. Biggest surprise was no Jund in top 32 at all, Affinity seems to have taken all its glory. #MTGPauper

Sunday Pauper Challenge 9-Nov; 48 Players. Small challenge as the RC Quali was on at the same time, so a lot of double queues. So there are a lot of 'quick decks'. U Terror got 4 the top 8 slots and was most played in top 32 (6). R Madness not far behind (5). 2 Heroic in top 32. #MTGPauper

Saturday Pauper Challenge 8-Nov; 50 Players. U Terror wins over Jund in a top 8 with 8 different decks. Good to see WW get another top 8 and the return of Hexproof. U Terror was also the most played in top 32 (5). R Madness had the best performance with a 3rd, 9th and 10th. #MTGPauper

Friday Pauper Challenge 7-Nov; 54 Players. Jund goes undefeated beating 5 Land Spy in the finals. Elves, U Terror and Wildfire all had good results and were most played in top 32 (5). White Weenie snuck into top 8 having no decent results for months. No High Tide in top 32. #MTGPauper

Sunday Pauper Challenge 2-Nov; 72 Players! High Tide wins again! Black fog manages 8th, while the rest of top 8 is pretty expected (2 U Terror, 2 Affinity, Jund and RB Madness). Both R and RB Madness were the most played (4) in top 32. Looks like these are the red deck of choice. #MTGPauper

Saturday Pauper Challenge 1-Nov; 42 Players. High Tide wins, splitting with Burn that they lost to in last round of swiss. Red Madness was the most played (4) in top 32, and managed 2 in top 8. Fams gets another top 8 for the 3rd challenge in a row. #MTGPauper

Friday Pauper Challenge 31-Oct; 51 Players. UB Fae wins and Fams gets 2nd place after its 1st last week. High Tide was the big winner with 3 in top 8 and most played in top 32 (4). Elves and Jund were the next most played (3). Where is the U Terror and Fae to save us from Tide? #MTGPauper

End of the month and forgot I had codes I can give away. With Spiderman being a bit of a downer, I want people to tell me a story about one of their favourite cards of all time. I'll draw 4 x 120PP MTGO codes out randomly from the replies in 2 days! #MTGOcreator

Decklist looks cool. Hope it was a fun time!

It is mainly good against U Terror and Red decks. It has issues against combo (High Tide) and Jund, all of these are consensus the best decks so you just have to hope you get the matchup lottery of the right half of your matchups. It is better now than when we were in Glee meta.

So here are some of the 'random' decks I talked about. Walls with Priest of Titania for more combo lines, UW Affinity (Looks like Glitters without Glitters), Naya Gates (Saruli does gain a lot of life) and UG Terror (for when you need removal in your U deck).

Sunday Pauper Challenge 19-Oct; 56 Players. Luffy manages to make it two wins in a row with Affinity. UB Fae in 2nd is also good to see. Biggest surprise was Cawgates in 6th, but it being the most played in top 32 (4). Lot of random decks in this top 32, surprising lack of Terror. #MTGPauper

Saturday Pauper Challenge 18-Oct; 43 Players. Affinity has it's best weekend in some time with both a win and 3rd place. Top 32 was pretty diverse, with U Terror being the most played (4). 2nd Place was actual factual burn, which hasn't been seen in months. #MTGPauper

Friday Pauper Challenge 17-Oct; 60 Players. Jund wins for the first time in a while in a diverse top 10 (save the 2 x U Terror). U Terror was the most played in top 32 (5). Dimir Fae was the 2nd most (4) and seems to be picking up play, but today all their records were 3-3. #MTGPauper

Pauper is diverse, but probably a bit stale. I don't think Jund needs any nerfs. There are plenty of things that can beat Jund. Also at least when you play against Jund it feels like an actual game, against High Tide it just feels you are playing solitaire then lose on turn 4.

I think they were already at the peak of what they need to win. They are just becoming more numerous. That was always going to be the main concern.

Sunday Pauper Challenge 12-Oct; 67 Players! Dimir Fae managed to win a challenge with 3 High Tide in top 8. Gardens, Familiars and Elves also managed to top 8. Jund was still most played (5) in top 32, with U Terror and High Tide next (4). Red was almost non-existent today. #MTGPauper

Saturday Pauper Challenge 11-Oct; 50 Players. High Tide wins with another in top 8. 2x U Fae also in top 8. Boros Synth Coming 2nd wasn't on my bingo card, neither was Black Sac going 6-0 in swiss. Jund Most played in top 32 (6), only 1 with a winning record the rest all 3-3. #MTGPauper

Managed to Top 8 a Pauper Challenge for a change with Esper Affinity. Skyfisher + Cryogen decks are still decent but under-explored, just have to try and find the right shell. Unsure if this is it as all I really did was farm Fae decks all day. Sometimes you win matchup lottery🤷 #MTGPauper

Friday Pauper Challenge 10-Oct; 52 Players. White Heroic gets a win just to show that anything can win on its day. Different top 8 than normal with 2 Elves, 2 Affinity, Spy, U Fae to go with the usual U Terror. Elves and U Terror were most played in top 32, but only 4 pilots each #MTGPauper

Sunday Pauper Challenge 6-Oct; 63 Players. Black Sac manages to win again, with another in top 8 and 2 more in top 32. U Terror was the main threat with 2 in top 8 and most played in top 32 (6). Spy manages another 2nd place. 2 Gardens in top 10. Esper Affinity in 12th looks cool. #MTGPauper

Decided to play in my local RCQs over the weekend, didn't want to spend much so decided to play Black Skeletons and managed to top 4 both days. Deck has some good draws and can beat most things but you need a decent amount of luck to get there. Sunset Saboteur is great!

Saturday Pauper Challenge 5-Oct; 47 Players. Dimir Fae wins the challenge after no significant results for a while. The lack of Jund yesterday meant it came roaring back today as most in top 32 (7). R Madness is back to the red deck of choice but the one Rally Red still top 8'd. #MTGPauper
