Pauper is a unique Magic: The Gathering format where every card in your deck must have been printed at common rarity at some point in its history.
It's widely beloved for being budget-friendly while remaining incredibly skill-intensive. It allows players to play powerful, iconic cards without the massive price tags of other competitive formats.
High skill. Low budget. All common.

We maintain a library of competitive loaner decks available to borrow at every event. Come empty-handed and leave with a full deck box.
Browse our collection and choose a strategy that fits your playstyle.
Use it for the event and return it at the end of the night. It's that simple.
All loaner decks are tournament-legal and competitively viable. Decks are updated regularly to reflect the current meta.
