The Princes of Pauper

Mike and his triad are victorious in Hex and Co's Team Trios Event!

Mike played Walls Spy so the Princes put their heads together and deep dive on a deck they both know and love.

Mike also takes a little foray into goldfishing Ruby Storm, which he has only played one game of (but HAS watched Jon Finkel goldfish)!

Mike is Back! Rich is victorious (in one format at least), and the Princes talk Pauper metagame post Paupergeddon!

Rich sits down with Kalikaiz who very patiently explains how Pauper Familiars works to a clueless Rich. They talk the different flavors of Fams, tricky Fams lines, and how you too can break into one of Pauper's most rewarding archetypes.

New York Pauper League Champion Colin Hostetter joins Rich this week: They talk about the innovative Synth Gates deck that Colin used to take down Season 4.

Colin beat Mike so badly in the League playoffs that Mike didn't show up for this one, but will grudgingly add some links that Rich asked him to ("for the listeners, before they ask" or something).

"No Mike, no one is paying us."

"Shrug emoji."

It's an emergency episode of The Princes of Pauper!

Rich has ended his damnable streak, defeating Mike at League... and wants everybody to know about it! Dimir is the best, Mike is the worst.

As Mike has found an all-new way to lose (this time with the Wall Spy combo deck) we've added a classic episode, a la Ancestral Recall to this very special episode.
