Friday Pauper Challenge 27-Feb; 57 Players. Gardens and Rally split the finals. The last couple of weeks Rally has been doing quite well andmost played in top 32 today (5). The green splash in Cawgates is interesting. Spy going undefeated in swiss makes me think it is underplayed. #MTGPauper

Thursday Pauper Challenge 26-Feb; 46 Players. The two Red decks (Rally and Madness), split the finals. Persistent Petitioners makes its first top 8 appearance! Elves and Madness were the most played in top 32 (4). A decent amount of low-meta decks in the top 32 as well. #MTGPauper

Had a busy week last week, and the fact that I thought Pauper Challenges would only have top 8 decklists meant I took the week off posting. Still have the data from the week and the RCQ if people need it. Good to see that WotC decided to revert their decision on decklists.

I've been trying to keep Challenge Data alive even after they killed replays, and now they have killed it so it is practically unusable. You think that U Terror had a large metashare before, only top 8's mean it will look even worse. I'll have to find something to post about now 😭

Top 8 with Rainbow Altar Food. Don't know if I like the Winds as I only cast it like twice. Felt like most of my wins just came from my opponents drawing poorly because I felt I played pretty average. Deck is fun though, and I just wanted to prove that it should be played more. #MTGPauper
