Many of you might not know, pauper was a player made format for Magic: The Gathering. It started on Magic Online in 2005 via 3 players creating a "Player Run Event" for the format that has steadily increased in popularity since its conception.

Cloud of Faeries has been banned in Pauper. This card is very powerful and oppressive. It will shake up the metagame quite a bit as two of the top decks, both Delver and Esper Familiars play it. Will those decks still be able to carry on? Will Spellstutter Sprite still be playable? What could this mean for the metagame? My thoughts and opinions in the full article.

First off, this will kick off the new year with the first full strategy article, with many more to come in the following weeks. I am still working on the website so the articles will likely come slowly at first, but they will certainly be in depth. My new years resolution is to keep producing content for the website at least once a week throughout the year. I will also adding a Card of the Day feature, hopefully by the end of the day, though it may take until the weekend. I hope everyone had a great New Years and has a great year to come. Enjoy!

This is something that I wanted to take a deep in depth look into for a very long while. Remand has shown to be a very powerful card in modern and yet a card that somewhat similar in fuction, Memory Lapse, is not played in pauper at all. I help examine each card in different situations and examine what is at the core of each card that make them similar, yet very different at the same time. Remand is not legal in Pauper, but this article is here to draw the similarities and differences that they have. I will go over specific examples and also drill down to the core fundamentals of the cards and differences they have with hard counterspells.

I will be adding quite a bit of pauper content on this website as well. I will be doing pauper videos and probably podcasts as well about it. I still need to work on the website quite a bit so I don't know exactly when pauper content will be coming but it will be getting out there eventually.
