Dies to Removal

No format besides Sealed/Draft "encourages" people to buy boosters, does it? Even Standard Constructed pushes people to buy singles. Why the war on commons? Seems like they are alienating folks like me who see Pauper as an entry point from getting into online play.

The other formats require more Bomb rares, which forces bots to purchase boosters and crack them open in order to sell the singles to players - Pauper requires common which are much easier to find thus limited the amount of boosters which need to be cracked opened.

So what happened to the Pauper DE's on MODO? Is Wizards pulling the plug on the format? I just signed up for MODO specifically to play Pauper, and now the best event series is gone!?!

They removed it because its doesn't encourage people to buy booster packs so Wizards just loses money in the end with all the payouts.

It also happens to be the 'grinders' format of choice, it where I also started - that said you can still profit from 8-Mans and 2-Mans but it requires flawless playing or picking up broken decks.
