Split the Pauper Challenge with everyone's favourite meme deck Dredge! Had a great run with not a lot of graveyard hate. The exhume package seems pretty good and the rest of the deck just did what it usually does. Not used to 7 round challenges. It's 3am here and I'm beat.

Pauper Showcase metagame. Looks like the Paupergeddon performance made everyone choose the Lizards. Gardens had a killer weekend after almost becoming extinct thanks to a decent matchup against Broodscale. People are saying blue is dead, but all 3 versions of Terror did well.

Split another Pauper Challenge. This time with a deck I put together in 3 minutes because I wanted to play with new cards. Rites only got cast once, so maybe it is just bad. Sideboard is a mess as well. We are now in the era of the 8 Inspector. Be ready.

13th in the Pauper Showcase with Turbofog. Deck has a great game against the main players in the format currently (Boros, Affinity, Fae, Burn) and it payed off, almost. Didn't get there on breakers and had a loss to the mirror of all things. Put Flaring Pain in your SB people!

Couldn't play the Pauper Challenge last night but managed watched the replays. The winning deck (made by Tribe specialist Zoohn) is a real spicy one. Shame Basilisk Gate is so hard to find. Would love to give it a try. You thought that 2018 Acid Trip was wild, this is even better

Made top 8 of the challenge with Breathless Gates. I think this is the decks best performance so far. Thought it would be good against Caw Gates, but as soon as I played against it I lost handily. Happy how it handled the field, maybe someone else will finally pick up the deck.

Split the finals in the Saturday Challenge after months of no top 8. Red and Affinity are everywhere, so you take the deck that can beat it. Got real lucky with my Broodscale wins as that is a bad matchup, but my draws were aggressive and they just drew air.

Won the Pauper Challenge with pproteus' take on Boros Synth. The Recruits were okay, but didn't really help in any of my matchups. The manabase was pretty smooth though which is what helped me come out on top. That and 4 Affinity matchups with 4 Dust to Dust.

Here's a wrap-up of this weekends Pauper Challenges, revealing the matchup data that I gather. Golgari Broodscale seems to be the deck to beat with no obviously bad matchups. Elves also had a great weekend thanks to pairing into U Terror (6-0!) and RG Eldrazi (4-0!).

Top 4 in Pauper Challenge. Format is in shambles. Initiative is just too good not to play or you have to race with burn or cycle storm to stand a chance. I stole @PR0boszczMTG 's 5-0 list and tweaked it to have a better hedge against affinity and Turbo Initiative. Plz fix format.

Can't show Pauper meta challenge last weekend because of MTGO not posting decklists. The Sunday 64 challenge didn't fire because of Paupergeddon. So all I have is the Saturday challenge that I participated in to watch the replays. It's either win fast, have bridges or ponza.

Top 8 Pauper Challenge with Squirrelstorm. I like the UR version more than the Black version as it feels more resilient to hate, even if it is less explosive. The meta has become even more narrow because of storm. UB Fae and Affinity are the next best decks to stand a chance.

Finally got a Top 8 in a Pauper Challenge after what feels like forever. Goblin Combo feels just really good in the format, like it can get hated out, but sometimes you just have it. I like Sledder as it can allow you to win through a Strands and is just quicker on the clock.

Haven't played a challenge in 3 weeks due to other commitments. Here's a deck that I just 5-0'd a league with that would have been my challenge deck. You'd never be able to guess what deck I am trying to meta against😎

Left the house and won a small 20 player Pioneer RCQ after a 4 hour car trip. Feels good to get a win in paper again. Showdown was easy MVP. U Spirits: WLW RB Mid: WW Lotus Field: WW Obosh Boros: WLW WB Mid: Scoop Top 4 - RB Mid: WLW Finals WB Mid: WW

So I ended up in last place at the #mtgochamps . It was bound to happen after the 0-7 start. Managed to go 4-3 day 2 though, so at least I went positive there. Winota went 3-1 in Pioneer to help me save face. Big thanks to all that hosted and participated, I had a fun time!

Since the Wizards decklist poster of challenges is away on holidays, here is the top 32 of the Saturday and Sunday Pauper challenge and the meta breakdown of the entire field. Fairly diverse meta on the Saturday.

Went 7-2 in the Pioneer Super with the new Premier Aggro deck of the format. Also went 4-1 in 2 leagues as practice before the event. Only matchup that feels bad is UB, but even then you can eek out some wins. Who knew Ancestral Anger would be a defining VOW card?

@jakeAls No probs. As long as one person feels like they get something out of these, I'll keep making them. 👍

Got 4th Place in Saturdays Pauper Challenge, with a nice meme Maindeck-Pyroblast Boros Bully courtesy of @Zimplfy1 . Fire Prophecy was a great card and gains you cards when used with Squadron Hawk. Feels good to hit a top 8 again even if the turnout was low due to Showcase Weekend

Pauper is still in a miserable state, so haven't been playing it much. Managed to 5-0 with an apas walls list from the walls discord. My league run makes you assume this was a healthy meta. SB Counterspells need to go. Rift Sower and Secret Door have been surprisingly decent.

Managed to get my constructed token going 5-0 in Vintage Play-In with Blue Aggro Shops I stole from @raptor56mtg . I played terribly but the luck gods were on my side. Format seems fun, might play more at a later date. Sided in TKS every match, never cast 1. Seems good though.

Breakers failed me and 3 of my opponents got top 8 when I got 10th in the challenge. Took this aarong ephem deck that they have been having success with. I still don't know how it wins, but there is something here. Nice to play with Thraben Inspector again.

Haven't promoted my videos for a while, but really wanted to share this one, as it was one of the more enjoyable leagues I had played and the deck was really cool. A bit long of a video, but there are some good games.

But on the Sunday (Christmas) challenge, it is was like people were tired and just wanted to burn everything for quick games.

After trying different decks last month and 2-4ing with all of them, switched back to fog and get rewarded with a top 4. Meta is still hostile for fog, but luck went my way. Didn't even need to change the list from last time.

After going 1-3 drop with the same deck in the SPTQ last week and then starting this challenge at 0-2. I am very happy that I managed to win 4 in a row to claw myself into 16th place. I like combo more than cascade walls in the current meta. 61st card was MVP (14th forest).

Trying out some memes in other formats and found this Calibrated Blast Modern deck from @dylan_mtg . Managed a 4-1 first try. Added some forests, which helped cast some turn 3 Scion's. Deck is pretty gas, just expect to mulligan a lot.

Tried my luck in the MOCS Open and managed to make it to top 4 until my luck ran out against legend @Jaberwocki . Sealed deck was great, draft deck not so much. Didn't see any bomb cards so had to try and win synergy. Couldn't outgrind the Fae Offering. Was a good run though :)

Took a brew that @paolo_donfra has been working on into the challenge. Managed to recover from 0-3 to 3-3 for 23rd place. Also managed to 5-0 a league just before the challenge to show the deck has legs. Deck also seems to draw an obscene amount of cards for a not blue deck.
