Common Ground 133: Where Do We Bow From Here? Pauper Ban Chat with Jonathan Collins (aka Brute)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back Pauper fam! Seeker of Skybreak is banned! What does this mean for the Pauper format? We invited Alum of the Pod Brute back on the show to discuss how the Naya Bow deck felt after his recent (and only possible) tournament win with the deck, and we chat about the big winners from this decision and whether or not we're aligned with the PFP's decision. Thank you as always for listening!
