Welcome back Pauper fam! Our comrades in New York had their much anticipated Inaugural Upstate NY Pauper Open this past weekend and podcast alum Jake AKA Kalikaiz was present to bring us the scoop. The event sounded like an absolute blast and we hope everyone involved had a great time! We discuss the tournament and venue vibes, Pactdoll Terror Altar Tron, and this exciting moment we find ourselves in as Pauper continues to grow in the States through these grassroots-style events.

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week we're joined by the manager of the London Pauper League (LPL), Morgan Fussell, for a conversation about building communities for Pauper and a peak behind the curtain of what it's like to work with Lega Pauper Italia, the organization behind Paupergeddon! Whether your LGS is in a small town or a big city, we hope that this episode can help folks get started if they too wish to have their very own local Pauper scene and community. Plus lots of Pauper was played around the world this past weekend, including the MTGO Pauper Qualifier!

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week we sit down with our friend, teammate, and local judge Austin Walker to chat about his take on the BW Blade archetype and the preparation that led to his undefeated record in the Swiss rounds of the Common Ground Cup. Will Grim Bauble make the cut? How does BW compare to Mardu? These questions and much more are discussed at length, as well as a quick recap of the rotisserie cube draft we held over the weekend to win Cameron's foil MB2 Brainstorm!

Welcome back pauper fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo take a look at some new commons from the latest MtG release: AEtherdrift. Although one card may stand above the rest in terms of playability, there are still plenty of cards to talk about. The gang also, at long last, recaps the weekend's MTGO challenges and also have a quick chat about Modern and its metagame health given the financial patterns of the Horizon sets.
