[@TheRyuxuyr]

Pauper for me has the best community! I met great people playing this format😊

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The Pauper community is so far ahead of any other formats community in terms of sportsmanship and helping each other out!

[@PointedStew73]

Pauper is a great format thanks to the accessibility it has, for example with "only" 200 euros I have bought a 4x of every pauper staples and I am now able to build every tier 1 and 2 decks in pauper :) Plus, if there is any new bomb printed in the format from the new set, you will have to spend only few bucks to get it! P.s love your video, and you deserve the best! :)

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you for your support! I have to agree I love that I can buy 1-2 playsets of every new pauper card that comes out in new sets and I don't even have to think twice about the money I'm spending. Hell I've spent more at Burger King than what I spend on new cards from the sets!

[@MinkyDiamond]

Pauper is my favourite format because it has a great community, in addition I started playing magic and especially pauper with my boyfriend. It took me a while to find a deck that i like, and my boyfriend to help me bought a set of every staple of the format! And now here I am playing Gruul Ponza and not letting other people play 😂❤

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Haha well as long as you don't destroy your friendships while destroying lands haha

[@repoman2199]

Love the creativity of the community of crafting these awesome deck of commons with great synergy and with great prices of cards help the entry bar of entering the format.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes this format breeds and rewards innovation and creativity for sure 😊

[@pedrohenriquegs95]

Pauper got me because it's a paradox: simple yet complex. You always got that feeling that every action you take is important but also fair, no turn 1-2-3 wins, just two players carefully and slowly building a plan.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes the games are much more balanced and require patience, understanding and an adequate amount of skill to play in the format.

[@squidthumper187]

One of my favorite things about pauper is the low price to join the format, which in turn allows you to make more frequent edits to your decks or have cheap (yet efficient) backup decks so you can play for awhile with your friends without having to drop 250$ on every single deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I'd have to agree it's a very inexpensive format!

[@ZerrickkMTG]

Pauper I didn't give the credit for when you first started talking about it. Now I'm stoked to play in my first major for it. I am understanding all the hype now and am on board for it. Good job on the 1k broski. You earned it

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks bro! I know a lot of existing MTG players don't understand or realize the format and all it has to offer but that's been part of my goal is to reach out and help them give Pauper a try!

[@kolossipos6908]

What got me into Pauper is the budget friendly nature of the format, but after playing it for a while I think I enjoy it more, than other formats, because with the lack of busted mythics, and over the top bombs deckbuilding is more about synergy and a gameplan, than throwing "good cards" in and relying on those to carry the deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes when you don't have the really expensive "Bombs" that formats like Pioneer and Modern do, it requires a lot more skill and understanding of the format as a whole!

[@matthewmarret5469]

Love the content! Pauper is something I've grown fond of very quickly and have been playing it for years now. It's so easy to enter the format, it's affordable, and there is still so much interaction that it feels like a cheap modern format. I'm originally a commander player, but pauper has a special place in my heart

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you! I love that this format is inexpensive and affordable as well but also still requires skill to pilot through the format optimally!

[@lordgold9195]

Pauper makes me feel like the Magic of old. It's just conducive to creativity.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes it rewards often for innovation and creativity.

[@seankick1823]

Pauper is my favorite format because it's very inclusive! Inclusive with deck variety, varrying archetypes and card synergies. The format is also inclusive for nearly every mtg player as well. From beginners all the way to experienced players, almost every mtg player can find a deck they love and for around $50. There are so many fun decks/cards from all 30 years of magic. For mtg these days, it doesn't get much better than that!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jabenanty]

I love the pauper format because it’s so inclusive. I just started playing magic and by far this is the easiest format to start in. Keep up the great content!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's very beginner friendly for sure! That's what makes the format so assessable!

[@marcosvillanueva5935]

Congrats for the achivement, you deserve it for being such a good (if not the best) pauper content creator. For me, pauper means brewing and being able to compete with my own ideas against the top decks while saving a buck. Keep pushing, you'll reach 2000 in no time. ❤

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Wow, thank you! That is a huge compliment and one that my humble self may not believe yet but I'm striving towards being one of the premier Pauper content creators!

[@mattstrott753]

Congrats on 1k! The thing I like best about Pauper is that it's a pretty balanced format with a variety of viable archetypes.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Totally agree!

[@GnawlyRat]

Just like you said I love that the card pool incentives innovation, as well as give cards that have been long forgotten a chance to shine in pauper and make a whole deck around it.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's an awesome feeling when you can create and be innovative in a format and actually go out and do well with it. There's not many chances to do that in the other formats!

[@screamyhawk4004]

I love that the pauper community keeps growing. What I like about the format is the diversity of decks off meta. Mechanics aren't so complicated. I've got back to play magic again after 15 years or so cause of Pauper. Love your content and wish you keep growing cause you make great videos 😄

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Hey I really appreciate that and I absolutely will continue to make content, after all I love making the content as much as my subs and viewers love watching them! I just want to help this community continue to grow!

[@stardust4089]

many other constructed formats struggle with having powerful threats and not as powerful answers. However, in pauper, some of the most powerful cards are answers. between the low cost, relatively healthy meta (especially for an eternal format), and high skill decks, it’s my favorite constructed format and that’s what makes it so great. Thank you so much!!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

No thank you! Yes I'd have to agree that this format feels much more like old school magic where the answers and responses are the more powerful cards and the threats and creatures are average which makes the games much more balanced and technical!

[@bojuka_bob]

Thanks for all you do for all the pauper community. I like how many decks you can build from the meta for super cheap so you can learn and grow with many of the decks. You get to hone skills outside your general wheelhouse. Also, you can learn the meta matchups and learn how to approach different playstyles

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

No thank you! Without all of you this wouldn't be possible! I would have to agree I love learning and diving into the analytics of the meta and format learning how to combat the current meta and finding new ways to beat it, rather than just whine and cry about the current best decks!

[@Pancakepotatochip]

Pauper is amazing because the community is the best and the deck building is so innovative and fun

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

By far Pauper has the best community! I love everyone I interact with!

[@pingucu]

Affordable format that allows people to try lots of different decks is what i love in pauper

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's nice that you can build multiple decks in the pauper format for the same price of a pioneer or modern deck!

[@Omnipresepio]

I loved getting into pauper because of the great community it's sorrounded by :)

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The community is definately one of a kind!

[@michaelharman9002]

I did my first draft on a Friday and followed by a Pauper night on the following Wednesday. I spent just a out 30 bucks to buy my first deck which was the biggest draw. I wasn't even sure I would like Magic. I got destroyed that first night and had a blast. (side note playing against an experienced Jeskai Ephemerate player your first time is a wake up call. Lol). I think the price point of getting into makes it such an amazing format. You get to test your skills and not just your wallet. I love brewing and can do that all I want and the worst that happens is I lose the night but still get a promo and a pack. I love playing Rouge decks and have been playing the Orzhov deck that Kilbxy got in the top 8 with a few weeks back. I have brewed it a bit and really love testing out so many awesome decks. Keep up the great content I love it all.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes even though a lot of the formats decks are very affordable it takes quite a bit of actual skill to properly pilot some of the decks! Where it lacks in price of the decks it makes up in skill level! I'm glad you are enjoying the format and hope you continue to play!

[@danielharrison2383]

It is eternal and it is so varied. Pauper is a great format for experimenting. That's why love it.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yesssss I love trying new decks and experimenting with builds!

[@danielharrison2383]

I also like how the meta shifts so wildly sometimes. @@GoldLotusPauperMTG

[@JackGamesTooMuch]

Pauper is the my favorite format because it is a format for everyone in more ways than one. The low price of entry and prevalence of cards makes it more accessible to get in to vs. other formats. The power level and meta is pushed. Pauper offers players of all skill levels opportunities to play ANY archetype in MtG to both learn and grow their skill at the game. It is an easy jumping off point to other formats as well. Pauper Commander exists as an offshoot game but many of the cards are used in decks from Modern to Pioneer. These are just a few reasons pauper is my favorite format to shuffle up and play.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The format is very kind to new players as it balances itself out through the more experienced players keeping the format in check by playing decks that work well against the current hot decks which keep the format healthy and always fluctuating.

[@PaperPie]

I love pauper because everytime a different deck could win. Very skill intensive and it doesn't rotate around only 1 or 2 decks!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The format is very wide open and allows for any given deck on any given day!

[@zupa95]

A year ago i was bored and i went to my LGS and it was pauper day. I decided to join and picked up burn deck from the store and i wiped the floor with everyone and instantly fell in love with the format. Now i own 15+ decks and i can't stop brewing new ones every time new set gets spoiled. When spoiler season comes i immediately go and check for the commons and downshifts.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

That is surely the best part is the deck building!

[@torben1756]

I Love pauper because after a 10 year Break of Magic i stumbled into our local group "pauper to the people", Made Brunch of new Friends and was Instant Back in the days my Cousin taught me Magic in 2002 e.g with No plainswalkers. Still its super complex and sooo much fun to Play! Golgari Control lets Go!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Glad to have you back playing MTG bud, especially Pauper!

[@lightscreen6102]

Congrats on 1k! My favorite part of pauper is I have a lot of common cards and knowing my bulk is useful for pauper is awesome.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@goldenking1692]

Congratulations on the 1k milestone, I love the pauper as the community is great and the format is fun for playing cards I probably never would have played otherwise.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks I love the community too as well! It's like no other in the MTG community!

[@antoniopinheiro4947]

The main reason I like pauper is the combination of powerful cards and cheaper prices. Not only that, the meta is really balanced on my LGS, so it never gets boring!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's awesome that we get to play with some of the most powerful cards in the HISTORY of MTG and yet it doesn't cost much to get into!

[@colinsheffieldpharm.d.8931]

I really like the skill that is involved in playing and the creativeness of the decks.. keep up the great work and reviews.. congratulations!!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you for your support and feedback!

[@weesiongteo9219]

Congratulations to you sir for the subscription breakthrough! I love playing Pauper because it's the closest to when I started playing Magic back in 1996, just like the way Richard Garfield intended the game to be Not to mention the variety of decks, the vast selection of cards and having the easiest barrier of entry among all the Constructed and/or eternal formats Here's to many more subscribers ahead and keep the channel going! 🎉🎉🎉

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks for sharing, I couldn't agree more!

[@kervymanalo9059]

Congrats! I really enjoy pauper format since its very diversified and very enjoyable to play. I loved it!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MrToddyPorco]

Pauper is a great format because it's financially accessible. And it's super fun.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Being very budget friendly is surely one of the biggest draws of this format!

[@jannapieralski6349]

What I like in a Pauper is the myriad of cool strategies and archetypes from other formats for example Tron with a unique control twist, Mono Blue Tempo or classic Burn. These decks hold themeselves in a meta and provide a cool oportunities for a newer players to get to know what kind of decks there are Magic. Im personally building a set of decks for me and friends to invite them to a world of MTG with easy start and fun, balanced competition. Pauper for the day!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

That's awesome I think a battle box of some of the most iconic Pauper decks that are easy to pilot but are fun to jam is a excellent way to introduce new players and friends to MTG!

[@Jay451mc]

I love pauper because of the wide meta. And that the gap between Tier 1 and 2 isn't miles apart. And you can pretty much play whatever you want and it's still valid

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

You got it! Even though there are clear cut "S Tier" decks, at any given event or tournament any deck can step up and win it all! That's the beauty of the format!

[@xLuminary]

Pauper is a criminally underrated format. People see that its only commons and think its lame or disintereting. I was among these people before i started playing it. What makes it so great is that there is a better balance between threats and answers, and the skill ceiling is very high, with a lower skill floor than something like legacy or modern. The ideal game for me is one with the lowest skill floor, and highest skill ceiling, and pauper does that better than any other format. If I had unlimited money and could play any format I wanted, I would still make it out to pauper every week.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Agreed I have played everything from Legacy to Pauper and all in between. Yet I come back to Pauper every time because of how balanced it is and how skill intensive it can be!

[@xLuminary]

@@GoldLotusPauperMTG based

[@edexcell9956]

Pauper is my favourite format because it has a balanced but always evolving meta, yet it is affordable! Congrats on the 1k!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you! The affordability is definately a huge drawing point!

[@Tlfcringe]

I love how pauper is so accessable to new players and returning ones 😊

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely!

[@rockwolf2001]

Pauper is my main format and such a fantastic format because of the variety of decks in the field that can compete. I love that the meta is filled with plenty of decks and not just dominated by one or two decks

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The best part! The format is always rotating and fluctuating making it one of, if not the healthiest format in MTG!

[@davidgardner6137]

Glad you're growing in popularity! I enjoy Pauper, because Counterspell is a top card, and will most likely remain that way for the foreseeable future, so I get to play my pretty ones while having deep and strategic game play.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks man, it's been a lot of fun playing with you over the last few years! You've been a good friend that I've had the pleasure of getting to experience the format with!

[@jamesviola7422]

Low barrier to entry is what got me interested

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

There's not much of a barrier for pauper! That's why is so easy to get into

[@FloppierTaco]

Pauper is the best format cause it has the most number of viable decks and format diversity! Power to the people!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

There's a huge range of decks that can most certainly win any given tournament!

[@jcains6817]

I am just getting back into paper Magic after a long break (when I was in high school in the late 90’s). Pauper is a great way for me to get back into paper Magic fairly cheap while also learning how to build great decks! Excited to be back in the community! Thank you for the videos.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

No thank you for your support! Also congrats on making it back into MTG! I've taken a few breaks along the way but the game always draws me back in!

[@dragonslayerxd9768]

It is a fun format with lots of fun variation for family and friends while keeping it cheap.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Agreed!

[@TerminusObscurus]

I love Pauper because it lets me search through peoples collection or the bulk box of my LGS and find true Treasures and get inspired to build a new wierd deck that will probably never win. Also i love the accesesability of paying only 50€ or so for a decent deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Right? I love buying peoples bulk because I actually value the commons more than I would the rare/mythics haha. People always bring their bulk to me for a good deal!

[@cartermoilanen2010]

I love pauper because there are many different viable archetypes! I'm loving these tier 2 and 3 decks that can pop off.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

There's a ton of great and viable deck archetypes! So much variety!

[@BenjaminWeinberger-u4d]

I think pauper is great because it is approachable, and it is cheap. Also the community is amazing

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I'd have to whole heartedly agree! I've played just about every format at least a few times since I've started playing 20 years ago and by far Pauper is the most fun and down to earth format of all!

[@goschy8417]

i like about pauper that it is an easy and affordable way to get into the world of competitive magic

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Right! There's for sure a strong sense of competition in Pauper but is still a very down to earth community that is willing to help one another!

[@LX5477]

When I first heard the term Pauper and what it meant it fascinated me. To play with just commons seemed like a good way to play. No chasing rares. Cards (for the most part) are easy to buy. The price of a deck was of course a big part of it. Have a pretty good collection on MtGO and starting some paper decks. Hoeing this catches on with more players.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's awesome that with each new set you have access to new cards for the format and that they are very affordable and inexpensive!

[@DavidBaker42]

I think pauper is a great format because of the diverse gameplay at,usually, a much lower cost!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes there is a ton of diversity and is very inexpensive to get into!

[@bladetb3934]

Pauper is great because it's cheap and diverse. If you wanna play control, combo, aggro, midrange, jank, there's something for you. And somehow if not, theres plenty of space to build your own deck. To top it all off even the most nuts of decks costs less than 100 and most cost close to 50ish bucks. You can get a non rotating deck, a deck box, playmat, and sleeves for less than 100 bucks. Allowing you to now play forever (excluding bans).

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

For sure, being an eternal format this is a smart investment since your deck will never rotate out or likely have any banned cards. This format is a very fun entry point into the world of competitive magic.

[@rslimjr]

Love the content! Congrats on 1k! On to 10k!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@Bischoffshof]

I like pauper because it isn’t necessarily broken in half - no planeswalkers. It reminds me of just traditional magic.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes it does feel like the old days of magic where it was just creatures and spells. No OP Planeswalkers!

[@JaimieWFYT]

Congratulations! Personally, I think pauper is great for a few reasons, but mostly it’s really great for getting down to the core of the game. It’s pretty cheap for the most part, puts a lot of emphasis on the core mechanics (tempo, board presence, losing health vs trading etc.), and is great for learning/teaching the game without overwhelming people with multi-paragraph cards. Magic constantly gets new and exciting cards, and whilst new rares and mythics can be cool and unique, and can even create new deck archetypes that are fun and engaging, they can also take away from that core puzzle-solvey back and forth with interesting decision making that pulled me in to card games in the first place. Outside of that, the creativity in deck building people can have with commons is still pretty nuts. Anyway ramble over, once again congrats in the growth on such a short time!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Excellent explanation and one of which I fully agree, you couldn't have wrote up a better analysis of why the format is so great!

[@datawulf88]

First things first. Congrats to the 1k subs! 🎉 Really earned it 👍 And now your question. Pauper seems to be a good entry point into magic and a format easy to start and hard to master. You can easily start with what you have at home, but it rewards your growing skill playing and knowing meta and cards and stuff.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you so much! I really have become close with all my subs and viewers feeling as though I'm becoming a part of the pauper community!

[@seby1857]

I really like pauper because I love grindy games and cards that generate value. Getting more than 2 turns to play my deck is awesome, plus the accessibility is unlike any other format.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely, the accessibility is amazing due to the format being budget friendly. Plus I agree the decks in Pioneer and Modern just seem way OP to the point the games don't even feel enjoyable anymore.

[@seby1857]

@@GoldLotusPauperMTG it's definitely better to trade interaction than stare at some guy otking you ahahaha

[@cbet404]

Honestly I just got into pauper these last 4-5 months and your channel has been awesome to learn meta and to be entertained. Excited to see what more you will do, congrats my man!! Why I got into pauper..easy. I get that "real" magic feel for cheap. Modern was my first experience playing magic but decks were just so pricey, so I looked to pauper to get that legacy power level for low cost and get to build a bunch of decks. Also sine its so cheap I get to build decks and try out cards that would never see play.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Glad to hear it! I'm happy you've found my content useful and helpful!

[@Quicksilver1227]

I like because of the budget can help make quite a few fun decks without breaking the bank.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely, the format is very reasonable and budget friendly!

[@dimensionswaechter]

I love that Pauper is not that expensive and that it allows you to just go through your old bulk and brew some exiting and very niche decks. And maybe surprise some people with one of those spicy new brews! I also love that you can do some really "broken" stuff in this format provided you sink enough time into figuring out how to play the optimal lines of combos/synergys and such. (which i am still far off^^) Currently i am also dabbling into the commander cousin of pauper and it seems to be quite some fun.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I always love seeing home brews or spicy techs succeed or do well!

[@fabianstaes4176]

I never really dabbled in 1v1 formats, they just seemed to always ask a large investment of money that I as a college student just could not excuse. When my LGS started to host pauper events every few weeks I was immediately sold by the accesability of the format mainly money wise but also just the sheer variety and playability of different archetypes. With the help of your great tierlists I even settled on a deck. Keep it up🤘

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Hell yah brother glad my Tier Lists have helped you along your Pauper journey!

[@omegaduckie]

I got into constructed pauper after drafting the pauper cube. I love pauper because the power level is more flat than in constructed formats. It’s a high skill, broad format and intense, push-pull gameplay happens frequently!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Agreed, the format allows for back and forth games where interaction is valued much higher than in other formats where you usually just go all in on your own strategy and don't mind the opponent as much.

[@carterprovins8412]

Personally, I love the deck building challenge and patience needed to peruse through years of commons looking for the one or two cards that might make your deck better.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Totally agree!

[@marcelodecarvalho6030]

Basically in Pauper you get to play the two most fun cards in Magic's history: Lightning Bolt and Counterspell.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Hahaha you got that right!

[@arcangelelf]

Congrats on the 1k! I think Pauper is a great format because of the use of cards that just are chaff or no one cares for until you build something that really tickles that fancy and you get to pop off with such cheap amazing cards :D

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Right? I love finding homes for cards that other players kind of disregard or over look as draft chaff!

[@jvan6582]

Pauper is the greatest format imo bc it’s the closest thing to mtg when I 1st started playing in 2000. Plus Skred Fairies is awesome and bogles is a close 2nd.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yes I absolutely agree this format feels like old school magic and how it felt growing up ripping packs and slapping together some beatdown or burn or counter magic decks. It reminds me of my childhood and HS days!

[@ivancheca8897]

I was a Hearthstone player and tried Magic arena, but man, I really fell in love playing face to face in local events, once I built my, recent btw, Golgari Control I couldn't stop talking to my friends about testing some new ideas or some tech cards, as you said, I do really feel that Pauper is a pretty creative format where the unexpected feels awesome rather than unfair. I mean, I love losing to weird combos and winning with unusual gameplan ideas Thanks for your videos ^^

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Same man! I love playing/playing against creative and unusual deck builds because this is the ONLY format that craves innovations and creativity, where as other formats are very cut and dry and have a hierarchy of decks that if you aren't playing you aren't winning. This format often rewards innovation and that's a rare thing in this game!

[@signent9932]

Pauper meta is very diverse and creative decks can very easily do well at tourneys. I really enjoy not being bound by a meta of 3 decks and getting to brew and jam with friends! Pauper is also fun cause I got to beat ya with walls! :P

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I agree! I hate that in Pioneer and Modern unless you are playing one of the top decks in the formats Hierarchy chances are you aren't going to do well.

[@CollinRitter-d5m]

Hey congrats on the 1k!! 🎉 I love pauper and I’m pretty new to it. I think it’s a format because the price of the decks. They are a fraction of the price of modern, standard, legacy and even commander. It surprises me how powerful this format is with some of the decks I see. Just recently made my own home brew pauper deck which is a dimir ninjitsu.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely the price point entry for the format is very budget friendly and is often the biggest draw point for those looking to get into 60 card constructed formats! Especially since it's an eternal format!

[@SerbianWaffles]

I love pauper because it’s budget friendly and I can buy the whole metagame for the cost of one modern deck

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I can't argue with that! Isn't it great!

[@maxklimaczewski6263]

Congrats on 1000 subs! I like pauper, because it allows me to try different types of decks without the fear of regret that I might not enjoy a particular deck style. It hurts soo much to "waste" money on expensive cards and then I am not even using them.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Agreed, the low cost entry point makes it so you can build a deck and not worry that the price of the expensive cards you just bought are going to tank!

[@waffleman011]

Pauper is great because it’s budget friendly and without the super overpowered cards in other formats it feels more skill intensive

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Exactly without the over powered and over priced bombs like in pioneer and modern this format is much more balanced and more skill intensive!

[@0nCoolDown]

Coming from edh, I love the simplicity if the format. There's no 5 lines of text per card unstoppable monster, but a lot of little pieces that slowly build up your advantage. No other format rewards me more for playing clean like Pauper

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

That's an awesome way of looking at it, the format is very clean and allows for clean plays and rewards decks that have a sound strategy and goes after it.

[@JoshSolly2]

Pauper is the first format I played in paper cause it’s my local FNM and it’s great to play on a budget. For the price of 1 standard deck I got enough for friends to come over and play a tier 1 deck!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Right! For the price of a modern deck you can buy a dozen pauper decks and build a battle box for game night with your buddies!

[@mull2one]

Pauper is awesome for a brewer and deck building lover like me. I can experiment with tonnes of builds on mtgo and try out as many decks as i want and the cost is minimal. Also as an eternal format lover, pauper even edges out EDH as the best eternal format imo sometimes because the amount of "must have" cards that comes out every set is much lower, whereas in edh, every set comes with like 40 or 50 "must haves" that are all expensive. The turnover in EDH makes is not "feel" eternal whereas pauper truly does feel eternal.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Couldn't agree more, it's exciting knowing that with every set release you get to experience new cards to brew with and that it will help to change or shape up the existing meta so it's ever evolving and rotating! Pauper is unlike any other format and it's awesome!

[@keving.4650]

I like Pauper since it’s an eternal format and a bulk of the meta can be built for an average of $50 per deck.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's very affordable!

Hey great videos. I love pauper because of its deck costs and the play lines. Keep the videos coming!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks! Will do!

[@MrMacromatt]

Low cost and high Skill format, the community is very healthy. People prefer to play funny-big brain decks instead of build unfunny tier 0 decks. Never seen such thing ❤

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The pauper community is VERY healthy and balanced, it's one of the best parts!

[@leonardoferro628]

For me pauper is the best format because of two things: 1. The community is super frendly, i basically learned to play magic thanks to the pauper players at my lgs 2. The price of a deck is pretty low so you can always change deck and the release of new cards do not force you to pay a lot of money to get your deck up to speed with the new meta.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Indeed the Pauper community is extremely friendly and down to earth, they just want to see the format grow and receive the recognition it deserves!

[@riccardoodraccir9751]

Two main reasons: 1. Easy to enter even if you are a new player and don’t own cards yet, cards are very cheap and affordable (playing with cards is way better than online) 2. The format has a lot of different decks and mechanics that makes it one of the best format out there right now

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I'd whole heartedly agree, I live to play in person with cardboard, I can't get behind online, the feeling just isn't the same! Again I also agree, the format is well balanced with its own PFP that helps to regulate and balance the format very very well!

Pauper is such a fun deckbuilding format for me. I draft a lot so I'm always looking at commons but 99% of them never matter for any constructed formats, so having a dedicate home for all of them thats also so enjoyable to play feels great.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Yessss I love picking up all the unwanted draft chaff because chances are there are handfuls of great pauper cards that I will always be happy to take off your hands!

[@enoraptor]

Well, I enjoy playing 60 card formats, and I mostly play Standard. No stores near me run standard events though, and if I want to play almost any other format, I'd have to drop $500+ for a decent deck. With pauper, though, it's so much more affordable for me to make a deck than the others. So, I'd say the best thing about the format is its low barrier to entry.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

The easy access to the format is amazing since it's easily accessible cards that most people overlook or consider chaff.

[@FenrisWorldsbane-ew2wg]

Started playing pauper because I was totally over the commander community. The pauper community has been amazing both online and in person. Congrats on hitting 1k, here’s to 1k more! :beer:

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Ayyyyyyyye I was actually enjoying a nice adult beverage as I replied to all these comments so I'll raise my drink to that brother!

[@JamesOliverLindsey]

I think pauper is the best format is because it is very easy to get into it. after watching some of your videos I have been inspired to try pauper and make a few decks. hard not to make a million when they are all pretty much under $100!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's very accessible for all new players!

[@omniviking]

everyone ought to try pauper it is on the edge of legacy power at a reasonable price. all of us have bills but for the price of a tank of gas or less you can come up with a decent deck. And on any night if the variance is on your side you might just roll through the crowd. Also it give you something to think about as you try to come up with a new deck and how the heck are we gonna crush some souls with tokens and MIRKWOOD BATS??????? have a great day and thanks for the giveaway

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

They don't call it Legacy Lite for nothing! But for real this format is an excellent format with a great drop off point for those wanting to experience the feeling of old school magic but not the price point that comes with the legacy format!

[@ariesjames8953]

I think pauper is a great format cause it's very easy to come into without a worry of being blown out. The decks are cheap and viable.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's a relatively inexpensive format to break into for sure.

[@isaac144]

Why pauper is such a great format? Because it skill intense and budget friendly also there’s card that are banned in modern that aren’t banned in pauper. Also great format to start in.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely, the format is definately more about skill rather than who has the biggest wallet!

[@isaac144]

@@GoldLotusPauperMTG modern

[@isaac144]

For biggest wallet

[@UltimatBlack]

I really love pauper. I think you have really huge variability in possible decks, which are pretty much budget friendly. But the decks itself are pretty powerfull und some remind me of slightly weaker versions of decks you could play in legacy, modern or pionier. To top it more: everyone can play it because of the low entrance costs to buy a whole deck. My first pauper deck was walls combo, I spend rughly 20€ on in an got top 3 at my LGS. last point: pauper meta game is versitile and not stuck like modern. it gets changes, with new cards, new downshifts and this makes it more likable than seeing the same deck for like 5th time in the same 10 people turnament (like modern rakdos scam). in conclusion: for me pauper is the best format compared to modern, legacy, pionier, standard (all these have high price points and some times pauper deck just feel stronger than their counterparts in these formats). A big heart for the whole pauper community

[@FrensdeJong]

love the content. Pauper is the format that doesnt break the bank. you can play with a very good deck at low costs, love to play my mono black burn, and MWH. at my lgs. sure there are some expensive cards for pauper (snuff out/ lotus petal). but you dont need to play them to get a good result. keep up the nice content and enjoy the game.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you! Yes there are still some more "Expensive" cards in the format but the beauty of Pauper is you don't need to play those particular cards in order to have a Top Tier deck! You can do equally as well with just about any deck as long as you are a capable pilot with the deck and understand the meta!

[@FrensdeJong]

was 4th of 14 players at the last pauper tournament at lgs. think i made a misplay against black burn (deck i also like to play) and got a bit stronger in the past few sets. still looking for a nice other deck to play in paper acid trip or something like that.

[@imbadlikereallybad8069]

I really appreciate you doing this. It’s crazy to me that you’re still so new in the popper community but anytime someone asked me for information on popper as a format. I sent them right over to Gold Lotus. I think pauper is sso good because it’s a budget friendly way to enter the competitive gathering scene and have your deck stick around a little bit longer than standard or a pioneer. balance between skill and card, strength in pauper that I very rarely feel I lost because they just had the better card or better cards in their hands.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thanks so much man that truly means a lot to me! I really put a lot of thought and effort into my content and gear it towards both new players and experienced players with the aim of making it so that it's understandable and informative! I appreciate you passing along my name to the community that means a lot!

[@MrAsdrubaelVect]

i'm new to pauper solo ill give me take,this format is quite fun because of deck diversity and skill espression

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I'm glad you've joined us here in the Pauper Format none the less!

[@CrimsonPyro-cu5lv]

Really like the affordability and if something does get banned then it doesn't bother me as much than other formats.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's definitely a very affordable format!

[@MrJackdelBosco]

Hey Dude Congratz once again for another milestone hit!! Keep it up Homie! Anyway, why pauper is such a great format eh? Well to me the reasons are that it's quite affordable compared to the other formats, it's fresh, fun to play and also you get tons of variety in terms of good combos and brewing..also it's not stagnant at all sinceramente practically every day new combos or ways to play some cards are putted out on the net and enriches the enviorment of Pauper..overall I came back to magic thanks to my little brother who made me aware of this super nice Format. Sorry for the wall of test, as always keep up the good job and good luck to everyone for the giveaway!!

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support and feedback!

[@lukaserba]

affordable format, brew/rogue decks have actually chance to win against Tier Decks, great community, balanced meta, pauper format panel, content creators are normal players

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Absolutely! There are always a chance a new homebrew will make a splash and step up to win tournaments over top tier decks!

[@mackymecks4484]

pauper is my main format now. I left standard, and EDH due to budget constrictions. Another reason is that pauper is cheap. And tbh, i find it competitive as well like standard.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

It's VERY competitive and should be receiving more recognition by WotC than it currently is, but you know, commons don't make Hasbro big money so we often get looked down on by WotC

[@Holden_Prio]

Pauper is great because there are no planeswalkers haha

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

For now lol They did uncommons, they may do commons someday haha.

[@Holden_Prio]

@@GoldLotusPauperMTG god I hope not

[@whoatastic0079]

It’s easy to get into Pauper and is different than your regular formats that truly use rares/mythics…

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Without expensive chase rares/mythics the format is much more about skill rather than bank account size.

[@behemoth9543]

Pauper just has such a low barrier to entry. While I find certain decks from other formats to be interesting, I´d never in my life drop multiple hundreds of euros on a single deck. Pauper has allowed me to fully immerse myself and brew to my hearts content and thats great. I also like the immense variety of decks people manage to come up with.

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

There surely is no shortage of decks to play and build in this format!

[@teamcosmicseeds]

Anyone down to play me pauper infect? 😂 ❤😂😮😊🎉

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

Infects dope!

[@ZacharyHenryIII]

Going to sound like a broken record based on previous comments, but pauper is the only format with competitive decks that i can afford, especially since I found out about the game about 2 years ago. On a side note, have you considered content on pauper cubes?

[@GoldLotusPauperMTG]

I actually have been wanting to build a pauper cube again! I built one back in the day that I sold to a LGS and ever since then I've wanted to rebuild one so I might start a new series where I build a cube and add cards each week, it's definately something I would consider!
