In this episode, we dive into a new community initiative starting in Iowa: the Wanderer’s PDH League. Ginger, one of the organizers, shares his background with MTG and other card games before discussing how he fell in love with PDH and founded the ongoing event. In its pilot year, the Wanderer’s League currently has three participating stores (with more coming on board soon!) and boasts a $1,000 prize pool. While the league aims to be widely available across the country in 2026, you can get your local gaming group involved this year by contacting [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you in a pod soon, this year or next!

We are continuing our 4x4 deck building series this week with a strategy we haven't done yet, surprisingly, and that's +1/+1 counters! The one and only Infamous Fridge joins us in the studio to bring his unique flavor of Pauper Commander brewing to table to show us that walls, indeed, can hold counters very well.

This week, Mr. BobbyB-NotDracV-Fine joins most of the crew in the studio to talk about how to play a faster game of Pauper Commander. And no, the answer isn't to play nothing but aggro decks, Liam! From table etiquette to understanding an agile board state, there are many things a player can do get to game two (while not making the entire table miserable).
