![]() There are 9 daily events a week for Pauper compared to 40 for Standard, but I suspect that this actually a generous amount when comparing the proportion of people that play each. In Standard you often need to buy expensive cards each time a new set is released to keep your deck relevant in the new meta. Thus the decks have a much lower turnover rate than in Standard. CostĪt the time of writing, there have been 45 decks that have gone 4-0 in the 11 past Pauper Daily Events each of those decks cost less than 100 tickets and 30 of them cost under 30 tickets.Ĭompare that with Standard where only 4 decks of the last 42 to 4-0 a Daily were under 100 tickets (3 Mono Red lists and a Jeskai tokens deck squeaking in at 98.06) and 24 of them cost over 200 tickets.Īdditionally, Pauper is a non-rotating format meaning that cards remain legal in the format forever unless banned. It is happening for a few cards in Tempest Remastered and could potentially happen in Modern Masters 2015. Even in sets containing nothing but reprints, Pauper players sometimes get new cards! This is caused by cards being downshifted in rarity from uncommon (or higher) to common rarity on Magic Online. That's over three times the card pool size of Standard and over half as large as Modern. Each new set brings about a hundred new cards into the format. There are over 5,100 cards currently legal in Pauper. Let me tell you a little more about Pauper. ![]() While this may sound like a weird way to define a format, it's resulted in a format that's cheap, diverse, and fun to play. If you've been around Magic for a while, you've probably heard about Pauper - the online format where only cards printed at Common on Magic Online are legal.
