#104 - Prince or Pauper

47 minutes

This episode I am looking into what does it mean for a set to be prince or pauper and how do recent sets align with different definitions of that term.

Because there are plenty definitions. Some will focus more on the power of rare cards, some on the power (or lack thereof) of the commons and uncommons.

A data exploration episode - most useful if you want to spend some time thinking on how rarity shapes limited formats.
