The numbers don’t lie! Pauper is a fantastically diverse and fun format right now after the recent bannings to Broodscale and Deadly Dispute.
In fact, the Top 8 of our 44 player event featured zero overlap of archetypes and featured 8 completely different decks which is a neat factoid.
Be sure to join us at the shop every Wednesday at 6PM for more Pauper play action.
