The Pauper and Standard Pauper filters are broken

I played this match as part of the Pauper Gauntlet:



This started a twitter storm and it turns out that the Pauper and the Standard Pauper formats are broken in the sense that anything that has ever been common is legal in both formats, which should not be the case.

This leaves two formats filled with problems until a fix is delivered by Wizards (the same people who promised leagues in 2011) at some unknown date. So what do you do as a player?

Well, if someone else plays this card against you in a sanctioned tournament you will be reinbursed.

Then there is the hard question - should you play these cards? They help you win. If you do, are you cheating.

My friend Bava has a strong opinion on the matter.



More Pauper Gauntlet updates on Wednesday. Stay tuned!
