The pauper metagame is an abstract concept based on challenge top 32 data for the most part.  Pyotr has created a project to get to the deep metagame by having players record their match history.  He compiles this data monthly to get a picture of the metagame and see the trends.

In this episode I sit down with Diego_BrandoMTG who has recently come back into the pauper scene and has been playing a lot of Altar Tron.  We talk about the development of the list, where we are now, and deep dive into piloting the deck.  With the new set coming out, could TRONBO might be the future of Pauper Combo nonsense?

This interview showcases PFP member Alex Ullman, who is an absolute OG in the pauper format.  He's been using analysis to present metagame information for a very long time and gives a history of not only his experience, but the format itself.
