Very excited that Standard Pauper is going to be the Midweek Magic event at the end of this month. We just had a Pauper MWM last week, but it was Historic (as they usually are). I don’t know of anyone running regular Standard Pauper events, so it should provide a rare opportunity for people who like to build their own decks.
I’m also interested in the achievement system they announced. I know achievements in video games are meaningless but I can’t help liking them. (Also, from a programmer’s perspective, it’s an easy win: a relatively low-effort, low-maintenance feature that users will spend a lot of time and effort on.)
