• Common Ground 51: Pauper Trios The Sequel
    Nov 21 2024

    This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo are joined by special guest and friend of the podcast Derrick. The four participated in a team trios event hosted by Game Knight in Columbia TN this last Saturday November 16th. Derrick played the pauper seat for Thomas's team because Thomas hates the format ;). The crew shares their tournament reports and experiences from the day. Overall team trios is always a blast to play in and you can watch coverage from the event in the link below. This episode was a hoot to record enjoy!

  • Common Ground 49: Midrange Madness
    Nov 7 2024

    Welcome back fam! This week Cameron, Thomas, and Hippo tackle two questions this week! Firstly the crew quickly goes over a listener question about Pauper cube and how to curate archetypes based on color. After a quick cube discussion the crew shifts back to pauper to talk about midrange. A listener asked what does midrange look like in Pauper. There is a lot to unpack in this question so strap in and enjoy! Thank you!
