Welcome back Pauper fam! It's Common Ground Cup time once again and we're all very excited to bring you another great event! We invited our friend Tristan Aita (SoIMBAGallade on MTGO) to join us in the commentary booth this time around so he joins us this week to chat about his thoughts on the format, what decks he expects to do well, and even some bonus "bounty" prizes for folks interested in trying out some under-appreciated cards. It's an excellent pre-tournament romp through the expected format that left us even more stoked to make it all happen this weekend! Thank you for your support as we continue to grow this thing and, as always, for listening.

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week we sat down with local friend and Discord regular Jonathan Collins (aka Brute) for a laidback discussion and storytime episode, mostly centered around Jonathan's first constructed Magic experience being competitive Pauper! From getting the round 3 bye at locals to finishing 9th on breakers at the 2nd Common Ground Cup in just a few weeks time, we dig into his journey learning Terror and the format at large. Lots of laughs to be had and plenty of insight for newer players, whether in paper or on MTGO. Thank you as always for listening!

Welcome back Pauper fam! It's once again time for a new set and the bois have picked out a small selection of commons that they think might find some amount of shine in the Pauper format. Lorwyn Eclipsed looks to be a beautiful and flavorful set, but we'll see if that remains true for these select new cards and their roles in the format. Thank you as always for listening and enjoy prerelease at your local game store!
