The Pauper Gauntlet Round 1 is almost done

The Pauper Gauntlet has started. So far 66 decks have played. Only 11 to go! The first two rounds are double elimination so a deck needs to lose both round 1 and round 2 to get eliminated. After that, it gets more serious.

Basic facts

The weekly show about the Gauntlet
I have joined The Standard Pauper Show as a host for the duration of the Pauper Gauntlet. The second half of the show will be dedicated to the Pauper Gauntlet.

Here is the second episode. I come in at the 20 minute mark.


The Standard Pauper Show is also available on iTunes as a mp3.

Can you win on turn 2 in Pauper?
Glass Cannon Red is probably the fastest deck in Pauper. It can do a turn two kill. Can it do it when
it counts? Lets find out.

Remember that you can win prizes
If you pick the winning deck of the Pauper Gauntlet and you are the first one picking it, you win a pretty nice price. I repeat this information as many of the decks (even those that have won) are still unclaimed.

Next time we will wrap up round 1 and look at what decks risk elimination in round 2.
