Pauper edh is what edh used to be like before wotc capitalized on it. It's almost nostalgic with the amount of possibilities you get making decks, and its cheaper so it's easy to have a bunch of different decks.
One of our favorite people! ❤
You had me sold as soon as you told me I could play Risen reef as my commander
I had no idea this format existed. Thanks for the info.
I respect what you both do for the game. I want a casually competitive Paupermander scene that uses uncommon legendary creatures, partners, and backgrounds to drive a tribal format. The untold stories of these uncommon yet legendary commanders could be written by the brewers and pilots of today, and tomorrow. Legends of the Five Rings was an old card game that had a design I loved to see at GenCon, and I feel it could be used for this format I like to refer to as Rags to Riches. What the leaderboard points earned was a story and power struggle change that made what a player did in a season of playing games, truly mattered for their faction. The rewards at the LGS are simply foil commons and foil uncommon commanders in small bundles. Themes and tribes could show up for different parts of the year as annual wizard meet-ups to earn favor leaderboard points for a team. Vampires versus Humans versus Spirits versus Goblins as an example. Thirty starting life and sixteen commander damage sounds good. I am still NOT sold on using any and all uncommon cards as your commander, and I think what I want wouldn't allow them, but I want to blend the communities to better the scene. Parents could face their kids with affordable decks like these, and creating any type of token in a game provides leaderboard favor points for your chosen team. If rares can be considered "format staples" and are seen as obtainable, then I would bet a format based on commons could thrive and have enough variants to provide endless brewing options. I'm Megastorm on Moxfield, and I have some of these decks built but no real format is in place at my LGS yet. I would LOVE it if Magic players would pick up on this and brew these uncommon legendary commanders as paupermanders.
Shivam, you are the most under appreciated commander commentator/creator there is. Thank you for your contributions to Commander and this awesome community!
Pauper EDH is my favorite format to build decks in. Love it!
wonderful interview
Pauper or Artisan Commander fits the bill. Thanks for this vid.
I built and played two pauper commander decks back in 2014. At the time, there were two accepted variants - one used any uncommon as the commander, and the other used a legit legendary creature (regardless of rarity) as the commander - the important thing was that the 99 were all commons.
I found your channel through elder dragon hijinks and how lucky the first video I find is a pauper edh episode! I just built my first pedh deck Mahad, emporium master 😎 and my group has all picked up the format with me.
This was so cool to watch! Thanks for bringing Derek on. My partner recently got into Magic via Pauper Commander so we've been playing that a bunch together and I was so inspired, I've got 4 decklists ready to go now
My EDH playgroup has made the recent switch to PDH, and we’ve had a blast doing so. We play paper not online.
Pouper EDH is a great way to put all your bulk cards to good use.
I really love the concept of pauper and commander but there are some things I personally prefer to play differently, so we have some rule changes for my play group.
I know I am late to this video but I like to build my decks to be legal in both edh and pedh. It is fun being able to use your deck in multiple formats and limits or changes the way you construct your deck. Like cards that wouldn't really be needed in pedh but are a must in regular edh make it quite interesting.
Really enjoyed watching this and while I am still building my first pEDH deck I already like the format. Also, what you said about those signpost commanders resonated very well with me. I was going to build proliferate around Merfolk Skydiver originally but since the deck already had infect in it and Tainted Observer came out... It just feels like mach made in heaven. Not sure how strong it will be, haven't seen anyone else play it, but I am eager to try it and find out.
First time watcher! Solid podcast, deep diving into pEDH now!
I saw TCC make a deck tech for this format and I am hooked. I am trying out deck building for the first time and having fun building a Toggo/Agent of the Iron Throne (technically that is illegal but I am using Gut as a backup) and it's so fun
This video has convinced me to start building pauper brawl decks that I can host with and lend out to friends (I hate shuffling skyscrapers, so 60 cards seems better)
