Welcome back Pauper fam! It's spoiler time once again and this time Marvel's Superheroes have joined the Pauper fray. Are we hyped about more tacky UB cards in the format? Not particularly. Will a number of them lead to some new and innovative decks? Absolutely! Following the Bow combo story is going to be very exciting but it's not only card we have our eyes on. Plus, we briefly review the MTGO Showcase Challenge results and Thomas recaps his Top 4 finish with Jeskai at our local monthly event. Thank you as always for listening!
