Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo each bring to the table a Pauper brew centered around new MH3 cards. Cameron gets wild with a black green combo deck around Basking Broodscale that will make an infinite power creature and exile the opponent's library! Hippo keeps it nice and clean with adding some new efficient white cards to the mono white aggro shell. Thomas gets spicy with a 4-color Energy deck that plays efficient interaction that gains energy, then eventually starts turning that energy into damage with Consulate Turret. Lots of exciting brewskis happening!

Hey Folks sorry for the delay. We had a bit of a scheduling issue but will have an ep coming out Saturday!

   Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo couldn't resist  discussing the highly hot spoiler card from Modern Horizons 3 Cranial Ram. Cranial Ram was confirmed by Gavin Verhey to be the card he teased not lasting very long in Pauper. The crew talks about what shells might be built around this new card as well as take bets on how long until it is banned. The crew will discuss the full commons from MH3 next week. In addition to the weekly challenges there was also a Pauper showcase and some data to go along with it curtesy of Kirblinxy. Lots of fun to tune into!

   Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, Hippo, and the Cicadas talk about Green in Pauper and why it doesn't seem to be up to pair compared to the other colors. Disclaimer we do not think green is unplayable or even awful in Pauper but seems to lack that powerful backbone the other colors have. Though the crew discusses why green is a bit subpair they also go into green's strengths and its roles in the format. They also discuss what would help green out as well as ideas they'd like to see from future sets like Modern Horizons 3.

   Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo talk about tilt. Tilt is a word to describe that angry frustration feeling that can occur in games of Magic and also real life. The crew is all too familiar with tilting even naming their team and friend group "Team Tilt". It is okay and normal to tilt in Magic, controlling how you act and expressing it appropriately is important as to keep a healthy play environment and social life. The crew discusses stories when they have tilted off and how they deal with this angry feeling. Really fun episode with a few extra f bombs hope y'all enjoy!
