January 19, 2024 Episode 83: A Listener Question About 2CUDS
By now, the crew has done a pile of 3x3 deckbuilding episodes where we take commanders from a specific set and brew decks around them. We recently received a listener question asking us what our favorite cycle of signpost uncommons are, so we're making an entire episode about them! Since FIRE design, how have the various sets impacted the Pauper Commander format and what has our experience playing with them been like?

December 08, 2023 Episode 77: Cardboard Obscura: Underrated & Obscure Cards
This week, the crew talks about some of their favorite obscure and/or underrated cards for Pauper Commander. We couldn't possibly get through every single underrate and/or obscure card ever printed at common, so picked a handful of each color and went from there! Some of these cards are pet-cards and some are genuine diamonds in the MTG rough!
