Pauper to the People – MTGCast

Listen up, Soldier!  It's my duty to take mewling children like you away from your mama's hip and hone you into a lean, mean killing machine.  You want to know how to take your game from beginner to the next step?  You want some theories on why you should run less than 4-of's in certain builds?  I will unscrew your head and drop knowledge down your neck!  Seven, six, two millimeter.  Full metal jacket.  This is Pauper to the People. U/R Counter Burn: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/counter-burn-delver-1/ Who's the Beatdown? by Mike Flores: http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/print.php?Article=3692 Daily Event deck discussed: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/3681533   Your Host(s): Chris Plummer, Mike, and Matt Billings Show’s Email: paupertothepeople@gmail.com Show's Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/cmplummer Show's Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/matuna MTGO Account for Chris: GrayCatRecords MTGO Account for Matt: Matuna MTGO Account for Mike: mikeyk159 Show's Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/paupertothepeople Show's Band Page: http://www.facebook.com/pitchthewooband

The crew looks into how the metagame has shifted over the year the podcast has been on the air.  What decks have fallen out of favor, and which decks are back on the rise?  Which cards have impacted our metagame?  What does the future of the format hold?  Also, two different tweaks on Chris' Reanimator deck, questions from the community regarding Delver of Secrets and Mono Green Stompy, and a mediocre pack is cracked from Nate's Cube.  This is Pauper to the People.
