I remain unsold on Raffine's Informant (which I understand is stock now). The one here is just me testing the slot, not exactly an endorsement.

I am better than you @raptor56mtg . You will be exterminated with a meteor like your ancestors before you. There will be no Raptor57.

I got a trophy in #mtgpauper with Bully Gates (after three straight 4-1s). It's been a lot of fun trying to learn how to build and play this deck differently in this basilisk gate meta. The deck failed me in the showcase, but I do think it's pretty great right now.

Minor @scryfall bug report: I found two commons from CLB that don't appear under `game:mtgo` search results, but which are in fact available on MTGO: - Flaming Fist Officer - Your Temple is Under Attack Thanks for everything!

Won the Pauper Challenge with pproteus' take on Boros Synth. The Recruits were okay, but didn't really help in any of my matchups. The manabase was pretty smooth though which is what helped me come out on top. That and 4 Affinity matchups with 4 Dust to Dust.

Pauper ban announcement seems super fine. It's been about 6 weeks since the previous announcement, and that's the sweet spot IMO, long enough to give the format time to adjust, and not much beyond that because we know the format health milestones aren't being hit yet.

NEO release in the middle of that time throws a bit of a wrench because the set was so crazy impactful, but it didn't change the conclusions I think; affinity both before+after NEO was just too high a % of the meta, and storm is just not a healthy pauper deck to be allowed in t1.

Izzet seems pretty decent in the new pauper.

I got 8 pioneer-chaos trophies in one week, format is beautiful.
Had a great time in Pioneer Chaos. Couldn't catch up to @pproteus47 (in our friendly challenge) but made a valiant effort. Here are 4 of the 7 trophy decks decks I had. Sometimes bombs get you there, but good curve and removal will always give you a chance to win any format.

These much-needed bans have me in complaining mode: - No mention of a certain highly-played card that's almost functionally identical to a card banned here - No mention of a certain other deck that is 20% of the challenge meta at >55% winrate (1/x)
Today's Banned & Restricted update impacts only the Pauper format. Read the full update here: magic.wizards.com/en/article…

- "Considered" banning disciple of the vault, a card which isn't even stock in the current challenge meta I think? (2/3)

- Two months ago, Gavin told us "I do not think the storm keyword belongs [in the format]", but now we hear "our hope is to allow players to experiment with [Galvanic Relay]". Maybe that was just a personal opinion? - Why did this have to wait until september?? (3/3)

When venturing into dungeons, I keep mixing up Goblin Bazaar (click on this room to make a treasure) with Goblin Lair (click on the OTHER room to make a treasure). I just see the word "goblin", then forget which dungeon I'm in, and think I have an option to get a goblin token.
