Zeta should be judged by what it is, not by the Secret Lair label.
Apply Pauper rules, evaluate cards case by case, ban where needed.
Don’t close the door on the format’s future.

No changes in Pauper. It's a reasonable decision. As always it's good to read Gavin and the panels thought process in the articles.
Let's see if the Boulder + Spear additions do anything meaningful.
Hobbit prerelease was cool. These cards were all bangers for me. Went 3-0 with a straight Mardu deck as I had insane fixing.
Picked up 2 Boulders and 2 Short Spear for Pauper too.
It turns out we were not cooking.
1-2 with the first run out of Boros Robots. Deck actually felt okay but had two very difficult matchups.
Won the Deck of the Week vote and opened a shockland anyway so who is the real winner 🤣
@bonsoir_elio_t This looks cool. I wanted to test the 3 drop but it was a bit clunky so will likely pivot to a glint hawk build. Short Spear from Hobbit is an interesting get for these lists too.
