Common Ground 86: Who's The Beatdown? Is it Spider-Man??


Listen Later

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron leads us into a Magic game-theory discussion centered around the classic article "Who's The Beatdown" by Mike Flores. For an article that's over 25 years old it's amazing how relevant these concepts are in modern Magic and especially in Pauper. Then he conversation gets derailed by the inevitable opinions about the Spider-Man spoilers that have begun to surface. Let's hope this doesn't take away the spotlight from how many sweet Edge of Eternities cards are going to see play in our format! Tune into our Common Ground Cup stream on Saturday to see if EOE makes a big splash and to find out who will take the 2nd trophy home! Thank you as always for listening fam!
