The Pauper Format Panel had its fourth anniversary this past weekend, so I took the opportunity to write about the actions taken by the panel in that time!

Many resources for me, less resources for opponents. Tilt the game.
Culling Ritual is a hell of a card…
This was a sweet game! Thanks for coming out. :)
Had a real good #cedh game with @briandemars.bsky.social , @billydenton.bsky.social & Tinesh this passed Sunday over at @riwhobbies.bsky.social . Lots of interaction & fun.
RIW Hobbies in Livonia, Michigan ran a year long MTG Pauper series and held an end of year Invitational.
It turned out really cool and was a lot of fun and the shop is running it back in 2026.

I'm shifting my focus to Pauper because RIW's 5k Invitational in December is great value with just 16 players to qualify. Eight major events to get me there. I did a Pauper writeup to prepare. Shares appreciated! #RIW
