Pauper Meta Report - TOP Decks of 2024 so Far

Image
​ Pauper is currently a format dominated by robots, or so it seems. The recent buff for the Azorius Affinity Archetype, Novice Inspector, has proven to be strong in a deck that values the extra body and artifact it provides. Over the last two weeks, the upgraded versions of Affinity have risen in popularity, but the meta still sees the same contenders trying to beat the robots. Let’s take a look at the current Pauper top 10 Archetypes: Boros Synthesizer ​ For a while, Boros has been one of the most popular decks in the Format; however, it's not performing exceptionally well. It does have access to eight copies of Thraben Inspector, but the deck is significantly slower. Against decks like Golgari Gardens, it is destined to lose, and control decks can out-grind them as well. The slight advantage this deck has is access to spot removal and Dust to Dust, two things All that Glitters decks particularly hates, but dedicating too many pieces to one deck usually hurts against the m...

Top Tier MTG Pauper decks for 2025

Image
Hey everyone! I know it’s been a minute, but I’m back with more Pauper decks content—whether that’s a good thing or not is up to you! With 2024 behind us, I wanted to take a closer look at the best Pauper decks as we move into 2025. I’ve been digging through data from the second half of the year, especially after Modern Horizons 3 (MH3) shook things up, and I’m here to break down what’s been working and what might dominate the format going forward. If you’re wondering what Pauper decks to play in 2025, stick around—I’ve got answers! Table of Contents What are the best-performing MTG Pauper decks for 2025? The top Pauper decks dominating the 2025 meta include: Affinity – A powerful artifact-based deck with strong card draw and efficient threats. Burn – A fast-paced deck that relies on direct damage and cheap creatures to close out games quickly. Mono-Blue Faeries – A tempo-based deck featuring evasive creatures and strong counterspells. Broodscale Combo – A syner...

Top 5 Off-Meta Decks to Try in MTG Pauper this 2025

Image
​ . The goal of Pauperbrews is, and always will be, to showcase the latest successful and enjoyable off-meta decks that can be either fun or competitive in our beloved format. Today, I will highlight five unique decks that have achieved undefeated records in MTGO Leagues. Before diving into the decks, it's important to note that results in Leagues can sometimes be misleading. For instance, favorable pairings can significantly influence outcomes. If your deck is strong against Mono-Red and you happen to face that archetype three or four times, which is quite possible in Pauper due to the format's nature, your results might not fully represent your deck's overall performance. This isn't inherently negative, as it reflects the current metagame, but it’s worth considering. Another factor to keep in mind is the social dynamics of Leagues. In some cases, players at 4-0 may agree to split prizes, leading to one player conceding in exchange for having their deck appear as...

Reflecting on the MTG Pauper Ban list and Meta Health

Image
Is the MTG Pauper ban list in a good place right now? That’s a big question, and depending on how you look at it, Pauper is an incredibly diverse format. Like most MTG formats, there are plenty of playable decks—some stronger than others. But when it comes to the overall health of the format, things get a little murky. This is where ban list discussions come into play. Are the right cards banned, or are certain strategies warping the format? Let’s take a closer look at how bans impact MTG Pauper and whether the format is in a balanced state. What is the MTG Pauper Ban List and Why Does It Matter? The MTG Pauper Ban List is a list of cards that are not allowed in the Pauper format due to their potential to create unbalanced gameplay or dominate the metagame. Cards are banned when they create overpowering strategies, broken combos, or hinder the player experience. By managing this list, the Pauper Format Panel (PFP) ensures that the Pauper format remains diverse, fair, and accessible for...

Jund Wildfire Pauper Deck Tech & Sideboard Guide

Image
Since its introduction in Zendikar Rising, Cleansing Wildfire has sparked mixed opinions among players, with its impact becoming even more pronounced following the release of the indestructible artifact lands in Modern Horizons 2. While originally seen as a niche tool for disrupting problematic lands like Tron pieces, its role shifted dramatically once players realized that targeting their own indestructible lands allowed them to ramp while drawing a card—a rare and powerful combination in red. Today, I’ll delve deeper into how this evolving strategy enhances gameplay, not only improving on traditional ramp approaches but also fostering a more interactive and dynamic play experience.

Pauper Meta Report - Pauper is about to Change NOT because of WOE

Image
  Pauper Brews Table of Contents Wilds of Eldraine releases on September 5th Wilds of Eldraine's complete set has finally been revealed, and while it has some cool cards like  Troublemaker Ouphe , it doesn’t seem like it will impact Pauper Heavily. Out of 101 commons, just two or three seem meta-relevant, but as always, time will tell if anyone can break it with these limited tools. That being said, one exciting announcement last week may bring new decks to the format, along with the release of Wilds of Eldranie. Unfinity First Batch on MTGO In an effort to unify the Online and Paper meta, MTGO developers will be adding two commons to the online client, with the hopes of adding more in the near future. The first card is  Embiggen , which I’ve seen mainly on Infect decks in the paper meta. Still, some people are also toying with the idea of a DIY version of  Dark Depths , involving  Wind Zendikon , any indestructible land, and a couple of...

Like many of us, I thought that PFP would make no moves this March 31st, B&R, but boy, I was wrong. Not only did they ban multiple cards, but they also brought back some interesting options on the meta, plus a card that has the potential to break Pauper. Intrigued by what that would be?
