Pauper League Highlights – November 8

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan release is still a few days away on Magic Online so in the interim lets dive into the latest Pauper League results. Okay so there’s a lot going on here, but at its core this is a Kor Skyfisher value deck based around enchantments. While this build lacks the artifactContinue reading “Pauper League Highlights – November 8”

November 4-5 Pauper Weekend Recap

I use a few different metrics when looking at the Top 32 metagame. The first is just Raw Volume. The second is Win+, which takes the sum of all wins at X-2 or better in the Swiss and assigns a score; Win+ is helpful in measuring a deck’s Swiss round performance.

Pauper League Highlights – October 26

Today’s look at the Pauper League 5-0 decks has a decidedly Golgari bend, Let’s get to it. I love what this deck is trying to do. Ichor Drinker might not be Sacred Cat but it passes through Basilisk Gate nearly as well (while also being immune to Snuff Out on the front half).

Pauper League Highlights – October 18

The league results went live a little later than usual Let’s start off with this take on Jeskai Gates. This deck is wild and I worry it’s trying to do too much. While it has a ton of way to generate artifacts I worry it is not enough to support Galvanic Blast. I wonder ifContinue reading “Pauper League Highlights – October 18”

Glitter Affinity is not anything new but this take really wants to push the damage.
