Feel free to join up. We play with digital tools which mean you don't need to own any cards in real life to play. Link is open for next 7 days, if you see this post after then, send me a DM for a fresh link.

I love me some pauper, I actually just redownloaded MTGO because the pauper itch struck me again.
Question, I'm just getting back into the format after a few years of not touching magic. What happened to Tron? It used to be one of the best decks but I don't see it anywhere anymore.
I haven't played in a minute but I used to do pauper 5c tron in mtgo leagues years ago, the meta is so much faster now and there have been a couple of bans that have hurt it. Prismatic Prism and Bonder's Ornament are gone. Tolarian terror decks can have a 5/5 out very early and tron decks are just too slow to keep up. Lots of artifact hate going around. Red decks apparently main Cleansing Wildfire these days...many such cases. I am told some mono green variants can still do some stuff but tron is definitely falling off.
Please let there be other oldheads on there, so we can talk about Invasion block constructed, how terrible Masques constructed was, how good and rewarding Caw-Blade was for disciplined players, etc
I'm an old head but I took a break from magic during those years. Masquerade was my last set, but I did dip back in briefly a few times since then. I've been doing tons of commander this past year so I'm definitely back in now.
I love magic- I am a modern, pauper & legacy (sometimes) player, usually- but I have made an effort recently to not use Discord when I can help it. Let me know if there's any want for a Matrix space or something and I'm in.
Hell yeah this rules. I'm definitely going to try out these digital tools at some point. I don't have a lot of free time these days though but I'll make it work somehow.
