Ooh, so you could potentially play with like a 38 card deck?

(probably not, boo)

Also no unfortunately. You can't include them in your deck in the first place.

I like the idea of having a beta draft using beta rules. Mana burn, ante, no stack. Make Giant Growth always beat a Lightning Bolt regardless of the order they were cast! Just like Richard Garfield intended!

I usually find MTG coverage boring but I'm tuning in for the beta draft. I want to watch games of magic played with packs from before limited was a thing, it's going to be such a hot mess.

I ebayed my EQ account and all I got was an SA account
In todays Adventures In Going Through Old Cards that I got from a friend for free. I found a Worldy Tutor, Concordant Crossroads , and a Shimmer which looks to be interesting to use in Commander. Also Concordant Crossroads needs a reprint badly.

In my mind, NWO common complexity and a fun pauper format that includes many new cards are incompatible goals.

The oracle text is kind of not what the card originally did either, it could just exile with the auras and counters still on it like Skullbriar.

They could suspend NWO common complexity for certain sets. The summer set and commander products for example.

If they ever did support it officially there's no way they'd market it using the name "pauper".

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
They should draft every creature and just play them if they’re trying to win. Doesn’t matter the color.
