Pauper to the People – MTGCast

  Sometimes a listener provides a gem of an e-mail question, one that can produce an entire topic of discussion.  This is one of those times.  What 8 decks would you pick to be the “definitive” Classic Pauper experience and why?  Throw in an uncomfortable Heroes of the Web, and you have a show.  This...

  Chris watched a lot of Fringe, Nate drafted Modern Masters, and Peter still wants Pristine Talisman in the cube.   The gang discusses cube updates, Modern Masters prices, the Classic U/R Brew of the Month, and Heroes of the Web asks, “Worst Booster Ever?”  This is Pauper to the People.   Cube Update: http://www.paupertothepeople.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=shows&action=display&thread=816  ...

  Chris barks orders, Peter checks facts, Nate yells out a number, and Jack hates everything.   The guys are joined by Jack LaCroix (@jacklacroix) to discuss Modern Masters commons, the Standard Pauper metagame, and the ultimate Heroes of the Web which answers, “What we Hate”. This is Pauper to the People.   If you...

  Chris wrote a song and flew a plane.  Nate built flower boxes and has annoying ring tones.   The duo, sans Peter, discuss rules changes, Legend paradoxes, Nivix Cyclops decks, and RUG Delver in Pauper.  Heroes of the Web asks, “Do you believe in Magic?”  This is Pauper to the People.   Song: The...

  Chris is sore, Peter is vulgar, and Nate really likes Star Trek.   The guys discuss a W/R Control build, make some cube updates, and Heroes of the Web comments about Slivers, because that topic hasn’t gotten old yet.  This is Pauper to the  People.   W/R Control: http://mtgpulse.com/event/13174#184861   Cube Update: http://www.paupertothepeople.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=cube&action=display&thread=801   Nivix Cyclops...

  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. Chris at GP Portland: http://mtgostrat.com/2013/05/gp-portland-livecoverage/  ...

  Slivers slivers slivers slivers slivers slivers slivers slivers.  This is Slivers to the People.   Bonus points for guessing the outro music.     Operation Supply Drop: www.examiner.com/article/wizards-of-the-coast-brings-magic-to-overseas-troops-operation-supply-drop   Pixel art iPhone 5 Ravnica wallpaper: http://imgur.com/a/vuG0r   http://5colorcontrol.com/comic.php?comic=251 Locus opinion: http://mtgostrat.com/2013/05/locus-ruins-pauper/   Forced Beta: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=505776   Slivers: http://www.gatheringmagic.com/greghaenig-news-spoilers-05062013-slivers-are-back-in-m14/   Bogles, by barabara: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5   Standard Pauper...

  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. And music from a band that Chris isn’t a part of! This is Pauper to the People.   Super Budget Super Series 5:...

  Nate, Chris, and Peter welcome Will from mtgostrat.com into their Dragon’s Maze set review.  Which cards will make an impact in Standard Pauper and/or Classic Pauper?  And which cards will make excellent coasters?  Tune in to find out.  This is Pauper to the People.   Apologies in advance for some shaky audio recording in...

  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...

  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.  ...

  Congratulations to Matti and family on the new addition!

Peter falls back into Starcraft 2, Nate falls deep into Path of Exile, Chris needs to just net deck, and Mike thinks wrestling gets worse every week.   The crew discusses two new/old Pauper decks, CawBlade and Jund, covers the Standard Pauper metagame in detail, and discusses the new pillars of the Classic Pauper metagame....

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...

  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....
