Thanks as always for the recap! Suggestion for the future episodes is to also give the info on the total amount of trophies for the week. It would be useful as a very general pauper popularity indicator

[@kalikaiz]

Ah ok. This week it was 129, last week 130

[@apass7241]

@@kalikaiz thanks! My rough rule of thumb is around 20 trophies average per day (i.e. 140 per week) and usually half of them are grinders. So for the last couple of weeks we are slightly below my perceived average. Let’s see how it will evolve!

Excellent as normal. Thank you Kali. I would like it if you could split walls combo and walls cascade as they are over all different decks and both are 5-0 ing. Although I will give you the walls cascade into walls combo is common :)

[@kalikaiz]

I think on macro scale it makes sense to lump them but I'll try to point out the totals

[@arcobrunner1979]

@kali what are your thoughts on the impact of snacker on the meta?

[@kalikaiz]

I understand that it's probably going to be ok but it looks really bad to me. I'll have to watch and see

[@arcobrunner1979]

Stoked to see the impact of mh3 on the meta 🙂

[@kalikaiz]

I got a preview for you: affinity

@@kalikaiz cranial banned after week one. Then, familiar still making the deck nuts?

[@rustyshackleford3430]

they should downshift Spell Snare. it would be very helpful to the meta imo

[@kalikaiz]

Unfortunately that's not how pauper gets cards haha

[@Dissonpontes]

Walls is a cheap and strong deck. And have a good matchup on red. Makes sense

[@kalikaiz]

To be honest I'm surprised it has a good red matchup!

[@WattOverLoad]

What makes it a good matchup?

[@todeshorst1697]

yeah buddy

[@kalikaiz]
