MTGCast » Pauper to the People

  Nate is defensive.  Peter has big ideas.  Chris had fun at GP Portland.   The gang brews a Standard Pauper Gruul deck (Chris has run it while editing, and it works pretty well), and Heroes of the Web provides "helpful" theft deterrents.  This is Pauper to the People.

  Peter gets a rare censor beep, Nate likes a SyFy series, and Chris gets re-acclimated to FNM smells.   Delver Blue dissemination, League rumination, Future Sight score calibration, and e-mail gratification.

  Nate and Chris take full control with Peter out sick and Mike out on tilt.  Listen as they discuss Deputy of Acquittals, Guardian of the Guildpact, and some metagame analysis.  Heroes of the Web politely offers solutions to "fix" the "problems" with Modern.  This is Pauper to the People.   Standard Pauper format petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/wizards-of-the-coast-make-standard-pauper-a-supported-format-on-magic-online#share     Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

  Wherein Grant is back on the show, Chris is feeling healthy, Nate and Peter fight like children, and Mike walks up four stories.   The guys discuss modern card frames and their frequency in Pauper decks, RUG Post, and a Heroes of the Web that asks, "Pro?".  This is Pauper to the People.   Theros: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1196 RUG Post: http://mtgo-stats.com/archetypes/Pauper/GRU     Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

Mike regresses, Peter never passes a Pristine Talisman, Chris announces a new podcast, and Nate likes Dollar Shave Club.   The Brew of the Month is dissected and discussed, including community suggested changes, Card of the Week returns in a new form, MTG Salvation provides a legitimate talking point, and some rogue decks get attention in the metagame segment.  This is Pauper to the People.   What children’s drawings would look like in real life: http://imgur.com/gallery/e1fFN   Dollar Shave Club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI   You make the card: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/238   Path of Exile: http://www.pathofexile.com/   http://www.mtgsalvation.com/1384-common-knowledge-fourteen-gems-in-the-rough-and-one-ledgewalker.html   Metagame: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5125475     Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

  Recorded live from Mike's stream, after Chris' laptop died mid-recording.   Mike calls it "crap-station", Nate prefers Cerodon Yearling, Chris' computer explodes mid show, and Peter knows about free promotion.   News about Cockatrice's demise, interspersed with countless "thank-you's", a clan announcement, and a Naya Brew of the Month built live on-air await you.  Also, your usual metagame discussions, both Standard and Classic, and a Heroes of the Web that ponders what Magic's greatest travesty is.  This is Pauper to the People.   Teleglitch: www.teleglitch.com   Promoting Pauper: http://www.facebook.com/notes/dugout-sports-cards-gaming/the-mtg-coordinators-tips-to-promoting-pauper/165178136882775     Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

  Mike is sick, Nate plays Hoplomachus, Peter went fishing, and Chris has a hockey altercation.   We bid a fond farewell to Card of the Week, offer a sabbatical to the Crack-a-Pack, and dive deep into Pauper Elves with two different decks.  Stay tuned for some metagame discussion and a Heroes of the Web, which asks "What if there was a 'Post-Modern' format?"  This is Pauper to the People.   http://www.hoplomachus.com/   Legacy Elves: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/legacy/23712_Legacy_Week_Always_Be_Cobbling_An_ElvesPrimer.html   Metagame: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5061716 David Snyder's newest article: http://60cards.com/since-ive-been-gone/   Heroes of the Web: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=492009   Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

  Peter sings a song, Mike doesn't really play Magic, Nate likes Oubliette, and Chris gets confused about Prismatic Strands.   Metagame, metagame, metagame.  After some brief Standard Pauper metagame updates, the group dives deep into the Classic Pauper metagame.  What's changed?  What hasn't changed?  And what does it all mean for the existing decks?  Also, crack-a-pack, and a Heroes of the Web that again asks you to take a deeper look at the artwork of your cards.  This is Pauper to the People.   Sissela's Podcast Top 10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN746QQ9ec8 Nate's Pictures from CON: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151409761324487&set=a.10151409761114487.498252.591859486&type=1&theater Fliphead (4-0)/WW Deck: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5019750   Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

  Peter is sick, Nate seems tired, Chris forgets what show he's doing, and Mike told you so.   The group covers a Standard Pauper USA deck, discusses clan migration, and looks into what the metagame has to offer post banning, including a G/R Land Destruction build.  William from Science of Pauper joins in for a few minutes to discuss some future plans to his blog, and Heroes of the Web proclaims that "MtGO is a cesspool!"  This is Pauper to the People.   Bonus points if you name the reference made in the show title.   Budget Standard Gruul: http://www.gatheringmagic.com/mike-cannon-gatecrash-budget-standard-deck-list-02112013-bloodstrike/   Redemption Price Change: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/other/02052013c   Science of Pauper: www.wrongwaygoback.com/scienceofpauper , www.twitch.tv/scienceofpauper   Standard Pauper USA Control: http://pdcmagic.com/gatherling/deck.php?mode=view&id=22695   ScarletMacaw (3-1): http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/4991703 Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum: paupertothepeople.proboards.com

Chris recommends a video game, Mike gets angry over an explanation, and Peter and Nate know a lot about World of Warcraft. The group discusses a well buried Pauper banning explanation, conducts a thought experiment on the comparisons between M:tG and video games, and begins to comb the depths of Standard Pauper in greater detail, including a metagame and deck breakdown.  Also, Heroes of the Web is back.  This is Pauper to the People.

  Wherein Nate manages to stay for an entire episode, Peter tries to keep everyone calm, Mike actually likes a decision from Wizards of the Coast, and Chris has to be edited for swearing.   The guys talk about the new ban list additions to Pauper, cover Mike's 3-1 daily event run, and ignore the metagame updates, because now they're all invalid.   Ethereal Armor article: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/td/231   Dragon's Maze land announcement: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1156   Mike's Daily list: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/4910654     Your Hosts: Chris Plummer, Nate Younkin, Peter Olmscheid, MikeyK, and Grant Champion Show's E-Mail: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Twitter: @cmplummer, @nathanyounkin, @Grant_Champion MTGO Accounts: Chris: GrayCatRecords, Nate: nyukon, Peter: midnight03, Mike: mikeyK159, Grant: pitlord Facebook: www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Band's Facebook: www.facebook.com/eonskyband Forum:paupertothepeople.proboards.com
