Welcome back Pauper fam! This week, the boys look over a myriad of recent tournament results to gauge the updated state of the meta now that Zeta hype has mostly settled. A wide selection of good decks are still able to win tournaments and some folks are still innovating within microcosms! Thank you as always for listening!

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week, Thomas is back and has some feelings to process about being in a new area with a lot less Pauper going on around him. Part catch-up, part therapy session, we hope that folks listening from areas without much Pauper representation feel especially heard on this one. Thank you as always for listening!
