Current events, tournament results, deck and card reviews, this podcast has them all! The fellas do a great job giving insight into MtG’s most affordable format.

This is by far the best piece of pauper podcasting available in English currently! The hosts do a great job breaking down the week’s events, and the content is insightful and up to date. Really appreciate all the work you both do for the format!

This podcast use to be fairly good. But has devolved into using any and all evidence they can find that certain decks are too strong despite that evidence they are not relating to that conclusion at all. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me list some issues with the podcast at the moment. 1. One of the hosts doesn’t play pauper regularly. He will play once a month at best and tends to just look at the data of the week to get his conclusions, or get his conclusions from the other host. 2. Nether player okays in paper on a regular basis( maybe 1-2 a month), meaning they don’t see a full view of the meta. MTGO doesn’t have loops so deck that do good vs the MTGO meta don’t see as much play. Fams, tron ect. 3. They don’t talk at all about the issues with MTGO and it not being an accurate version of the paper Meta due to its lack of all legal cards in the format, card effects not working the same as paper, and inability to establish loops( something very important in MTG mechanics) 4. They don’t talk about the fact that reds dominance in the meta share is due to the fact MTGO incentivized fast play as multi Qing to maximize points returned in order to not have ti put money back into the game. 5. They use terms like “ fair” as a example of things they like, and “unfair” as things they don’t like. These are just some examples. This podcast use to be good, sadly they have let their bias warp their opinion to the Point they can’t do proper game analysis, if they even play the game. They don’t look at cards they might solve meta issues. When you blame a rouge deck winning challenges on another deck being too good, you have lost the plot.
