Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron and Hippo dissect the results from last weekend's Paupergeddon at the European Eternal Weekend. It was a diverse metagame with some splashy results and overall we think a good place for the meta to be sitting post-Tide ban. Links to decklists and the tournament coverage VODs are below, thank you as always for listening!

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron and Thomas sat down with returning guest (and Common Ground Cup 2 Champion) Zach Geraets to discuss how Hasbro and WotC's relationship with Magic and design has changed over the last few years and what that means for Pauper and the Magic community at large. It's a wide-ranging conversation that we hope you'll find insightful. We're thankful for our amazing community of listeners and the Pauper community at-large so thank you as always for listening!

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week we sit down with our good friend and local Legacy advocate Carson Bispels to chat about the age-old Pauper label of "Legacy Light". It's a great conversation about card and gameplay comparisons, plus insight on the community-centered nature of both formats. We also chat about some recent MTGO developments! Big thanks to Carson for joining us and thank you as always for listening!
