This is going to be interesting! Glad to see some acknowledgement to the fact no one checked SL downshifts and to see that is being changed for the future.
A lot of you have shared your feedback on Zeta in Pauper - so we've reviewed our stance and will be making these cards legal. (With some prebans.) Check this out for more info: magic.wizards.com/en/news/an… #wotcstaff

Zeta is about to release in less than 24 hrs but Pauper still lacks a clear official ruling. Until then, LPI events will EXCLUDE THE ZETA CARD POOL. Please WotC/PFP fix this situation ASAP Players and TOs should not be left guessing. Full statement here legapauperitalia.it/statemen…

I was initially skeptical about a ban, I would have loved to see how the format changed around this new combo. But after reading @GavinVerhey 's article I think the PFP's decision is a good one. Longform discussion with @TeasdaleMTG on @CastingCommons1 tomorrow! #mtg #mtgpauper
Today we're banning Seeker of Skybreak in Pauper. This was the result of a lot of discussion on the CFP, and I encourage you to read or watch our reasoning where we cover our heuristics for combos like this, why now, thoughts on Sneaky Snacker, and more. Links below. #wotcstaff

1\2 After 2 days of playing with seeker combo i just wanted to share some very early considerations: 1. As it was expected the combo is extremely fragile, bitter reuinion gives you some advantages but its laughable how easy to interact with it. 2. On this note, grudge seemed ...

I don't usually try not to interact with bannings and air my stuff on the pod! But hard agree with @Bryant_Cook here about High Tide!
Somewhat happy about the Legacy changes, a little surprised they failed to mention Taimyo or The One Ring at all. But I am extremely disappointed in the PFP for banning the 11th most-played deck on MTG Goldfish with a bad win rate because some midrange players cried enough.

For 30+ years I barely ever touched another TCG; I was so devoted to Magic, I had no interest in putting my resources elsewhere. Lorwyn & Dandân aside, today's announcements are just *crushing* to me. To see what this game—my favorite hobby—has turned into… I am so, so sad.

Last minute choice to play the Sunday Challenge paid off! Only losses were to my brain not being switched on at the start and the deck mulling to oblivion one round. If you're good at drawing 7s, this is the best deck in the format! @fireshoes @CastingCommons1 #pauper #mtgpauper

Just missed the top 8 of last weekend's Friday challenge with some red spice! @TeasdaleMTG and @jakeAls were definitely right, deck is legit! #pauper #mtg #mtgpauper @fireshoes

Saturday Pauper Challenge 24-May; 46 Players. U Terror wins, with Burn in 2nd and 4th place. Walls also had a good run with 3rnd and 5th place. Burn seems to be the go-to with 5 decks in top 32 along with the new Madness variant. Be packing a quick clock or lifegain.

Very sad news. I can't think of many creators more deserving. Hopefully the programme opens its doors again in the future! #mtgo #Pauper #mtg
No Matter what! This is still a great program and we go on! MTGO is a great platform and Daybreak is doing a stellar Job! Keep it up 💪 #mtgo

This is going to blow the format wide open. I suspect the loss of Kuldotha will weaken red too much. Major props to the PFP on the trial unbans, fantastic idea and a really positive way to keep the ban list as small as possible! #mtgpauper #mtg #pauper magic.wizards.com/en/news/an…

Hey, @GavinVerhey can we have confirmation that the B&R tomorrow will mention Pauper, regardless of changes. I know they're separate schedules but the PFP have liked to tag along when the opportunity arises! #mtgpauper

Mega weekend at Paupergeddon. Just missed day 2 but managed to cash the rebound! Kuldotha felt like a solid choice for the most part, but the meta definitely needs some attention! Chrysalis restricts the format too much and Dispute is too ubiquitous. #mtgpauper #paupergeddon
