Oh and for those people wondering just how long peasant has been out and its origin check out this Article from Wizards
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/feature/58
Ya it dates back to 2002!!
I am wondering why Peasant hasn’t become the budget format of choice online in some form. Considering that 5 uncommons give you so much more building possibilities both for the main deck and/or sideboard. It would probably be easier to fight some narrow strategies as you have suddenly access to thousands of additional sideboard cards that don’t break the bank. Any thoughts on that?
Honestly I’ve wondered the same thing myself. However I think the reason behind it is in large part due to the great folks @ PDCmagic. They if not came up with the format, they certainly did everything they could to push it as a competitive format by having their own tournaments on an almost daily basis (most out of pocket if prizes were available) during the days of MTGO v2.
I guess what I’m saying is that could well be the wider and or more fun format but it was pauper that had its own community online and thus easier to get established.
The problem with peasant is that it is difficult to officiate without it becoming an official format on MTGO. I mean, how can you be sure your opponent really only used 5 uncommons in their deck unless the format filters control that?
Eh maybe, but in seriousness that truly not much different then trusting people to not make deck changes between rounds.
This dude doogle from my shop gave me a pauper a list a lot like this when i first started mtgo >.>
(obviously without Zen cards and uncommons XD) but the main problem I always had is I would rip so much removal and stuff when they had dealt with my first wave…
Nice job on the live video! PREs are always a bit of a crap shoot, as they can certainly be taken advantage of… but if you ever get caught then no one is going to let you in their events again.
