    Common Ground 106: 2025 Pauper Review with Kalikaiz

    Welcome back Pauper fam! This week we invite Jake AKA Kalikaiz AKA saidenraiken on MTGO to join us once again for an end of the year review of the Pauper format, detailing the cards that stood out from each set release and how the format shifted throughout the year. From Pactdoll Terror to Cryogen Relic, the end of Broodscale and Kuldotha's reigns, plus an unbanning and reban of High Tide, there was a lot to reflect on. We're looking forward to another great year of Pauper in 2026, thank you for being along for the journey!
