A Special Magic Christmas Greeting

Swedish magic site Svenskamagic.com sold Magic Christmas Calendars this year with a MTG card for every day. My friend Binkabi decided to make a video series of it on the MagicGatheringStrat.

So from all of us to all of you: A very merry Christmas! :)




Merry Christmas!

What's that? The Pauper Gauntlet? Yes ... oh, that. Well, round 7 turned out to be THE ROUND OF DEATH! Half of the decks lost!

Decks that made it through round 7
Affinity beats Esper Control 2-1
BUGs & Pigs defeats BUG Slivers 2-0
Burn defeats DelverFiend 2-1
Exhume Control defeats 1-land-spy 2-1
Familiars beats Zoo Hexproof 2-1 despite 7 mulligans!
Mono Red Heroic beats Hexproof 2-1
Stompy defeats 1-land-spy 2-0

Decks that lost in round 7
AzoriusKitty lost to Affinity 0-2. Yes, it was Eredion again. That guy is a Gauntlet killer!
BorosKitty lost to Burn 0-2. The champion has fallen!
DelverFiend lost to Boros Metalcraft 0-2
Goblins lost to Surucucu playing RG Aggro 1-2
Green Grifters lost to Affinity 0-2
Green One was defeated by Izzet Tron 0-2
Rebel Grind lost to Izzet Tron 0-2

Only seven decks will keep fighting for the honor of being the Pauper Gauntlet champion in round 8!

But there is a problem! The top 10 decks are automatically qualified for the next season of the Pauper Gauntlet. Last year a round finished with 10 decks. This year less than 10 remain. So we need to have a playoff between the decks that lost (!).

The top 10 playoff round
The decks above that lost will play an extra round. If too many decks win, they will play another extra round and then again until the correct number remains. If too few decks win, the losers will play another extra round until the correct number remains. This might mean A LOT of bonus pauper matches.

All of this will happen before December 31st.

Round 8 will start in 2015, after the Top 10 Playoff is finished.
