Chewie — Thu, 23 May 2013 03:54:09 +0000

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.

Pauper to the People #109 – Gruul Cookbook

Chewie — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:47:05 +0000

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.

Chewie — Fri, 03 May 2013 00:37:53 +0000

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.

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.

Pauper to the People #103 – Fall of the House of Pauper

Chewie — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:16:07 +0000

Congratulations to Matti and family on the new addition! <3

Chris is sick again. Peter is late. Nate hates extort. Matt is on the show.

With illness rampant in the homes of multiple hosts, the gang discusses Pauper Soul Sisters, Boros brews, and a B/W Extort build. New goblins emerge in the metagame, a listener takes the U/W Blink deck to Daily victory, and Heroes of the Web questions why so many female characters have names that end in “a”. This is Pauper to the People.

Chewie — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:00:29 +0000

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.

Pauper to the People #101 – Old Mike

Chewie — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:55:25 +0000

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.

Pauper to the People #100 – Playing for Cheaps, Since 2011

Chewie — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:54:04 +0000

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.

Chewie — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:13:38 +0000

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.

Chewie — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:26:42 +0000

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.

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.

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.

Chewie — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 06:47:38 +0000

Wherein Peter is notably absent, Chris is angry at Twitter, Nate enters the streaming community, and Mike checks himself before ranting.

The guys get a little angry about the Twitter MTG community’s sense of entitlement, discuss Nate’s version of the Brew of the Month, and talk about Goblin Electromancer making appearances in the Storm deck. There’s also brainstorming about where the show goes after episode 100 (thanks to everyone who has been a part of the forum conversation), and the requisite Crack-a-Pack and Heroes of the Web.

Chris, Nate, and Mike, upon the realization that the holidays will keep them from two weeks of recording, decide to get together for an hour to get their fix. Light on MTG content (aside from a couple of news items and brief impressions of the new GateCrash mechanics), they are joined by Tuna to discuss some top video game picks from the 2012 year.

Pauper to the People #87 – Don’t Scry for Me, Argentina

Chewie — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:56:39 +0000

Ante leagues are all the rage,
as we plan an event with Pauper’s Cage.
We flip our lids and lose our minds,
because MtGO is getting the Power 9.
Through diligent testing we come to learn,
the viability of Rakdos burn.
End of the year lists are on our brains,
while we ponder Serum Visions and Preordain.
There’s Heroes of the Web and Crack-a-Pack,
and Mike thanks the listeners for his welcome back.
Here is the church, and here is the steeple,
open it up, Pauper to the People.

Nate stays connected for an entire episode. Mike told you Modern would be an FNM format. Chris plays a Goblin Electromancer deck incorrectly. And Peter is missing.

The guys cover the exciting news of Modern becoming an FNM format, and how it relates to budget deck building, cover a Goblin Electromancer build, a Boros aggro/control build, and crack-a-pack. An old favorite pops up in the metagame discussion, and Heroes of the Web asks you to defend your favorite Magic artist.

Peter is giddy. Chris is writing a novel. Nate is playing DC Universe. Oh, and Mike’s back. The crew discusses more ideas regarding the standard Pauper metagame, including sightings of a mono Blue build, and tweaks to Chris’ Rakdos list. Also, deep analysis of an 8 land classic Pauper build and DelverFiend. Packs get cracked, the metagame gets discussed, Heirloom Magic is explained, and Heroes of the Web asks, “How closely are you looking at your Magic card art work”?

Pauper to the People #81 – Jace Fan Fiction

Chewie — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:15:18 +0000

Chris is getting sick, Peter cheats, and Nate has already built his Pauper EDH deck. Join the core trio, as they discuss Pauper EDH, the G/B Elder Classic deck, and the standard Pauper metagame, as filtered through Chris’ Standard Rakdos build. They also crack the requisite pack and disturb themselves with Heroes of the Web. This is fan fiction crossover. This is Pauper to the People.

Wait for the extended outtakes. And make sure you’re listening somewhere private.

Peter and Nate need to be separated for fighting. Grant played a lot of Affinity. Chris played a lot of Dishonored and Affinity. The guys compare and contrast 5 separate Affinity builds, discussing what worked, and what didn’t. Then some talk about Standard Pauper metagame speculation, DelverFiend, and a classic Rakdos build. Requisite Crack-a-Pack and Heroes of the Web sprinkled in for flavor. So many outtakes at the end of this one. This is Pauper to the People.

Chris recovers from a show on Saturday, while Nate rolls in cardboard money and Peter eats his microphone. Join them as they discuss Forbes covering Return to Ravnica cards, the impending Pre-Release, a Defender deck from Scott Poster, and argue over which decks belong in which tier. A controversial Heroes of the Web rounds out the show, with a new live song from Chris’ band as the outro. This is riveting entertainment. This is Pauper to the People.

Also, further analysis of last week’s U/G CrusherTron, including how it matches up against other decks in the Classic meta game. Cube crack-a-pack, honest commentary on a listener comment, and an extended b-roll where the guys discuss some card choices in Peter’s U/B classic Delver build round out the show. Also, plenty of Peter and Grant fighting over Peter’s new role as co-host. This is a sub-par Limited Worldwake card. This is Pauper to the People.

There are a few brief seconds of buzz at approximately the 9 minute mark. We were aware of it, and fixed the problem quickly. Do not adjust your headset.

Hope. The word was as foreign to my lips as my lover’s. I can still remember the last time we kissed, when she whispered into my ear, “Review the commons of Avacyn Restored for me, my love.” Then we parted ways. If only we had one more day, I would look deep into her eyes and tell her, “Baby. Ain’t no miracles in Pauper.”

A slow news week (spoilers, spoilers, spoilers) prompts Chris, Mike, and Peter to open up a pack of French Homelands, butcher the language, and set Franco-American relations back a few decades. There is also talk about changes to the mono Black deck, Storm, and discussion of the viability of multiple colored decks in the format. Nate was noticeably absent, as he was preoccupied with sheep shearing seminars in upstate Cleveland. Thanks to Matti for the awesome cards and booster pack! This is Pauper to the People.

Which cards have impacted our metagame? What does the future of the format hold? Also, two different tweaks on Chris’ Reanimator deck, questions from the community regarding Delver of Secrets and Mono Green Stompy, and a mediocre pack is cracked from Nate’s Cube.
