Pauper January Events

The winner of last month's poll was pauper so... We will have two pauper drafts and two pauper constructed events. Pauper drafts will be January 4rd and 18th. They will still be 8 dollars and will happen at the same time and place (Hampton Courts Clubhouse Mondays at 6 P.M.). In these drafts you open your pack and pocket the rare. It is yours to keep. Then you draft as normal. If you are lucky enough to open a pack with two rares/mythics,you keep both and the pack will have a random common added. So the draft decks you build will be completely rare free.

ColumbiaFreeMagic will be hosting Extended Pauper Tournaments on Friday, Jan 8th and Friday Jan 22nd at the Hampton Courts Clubhouse, starting at 6pm.

They will be free events but there will be Zendikar boosters as availiable prize support. Top 4 and one random person will be able to choose between a DCI foil OR packs.

The basic rule of Pauper Magic says that only Commons are legal.

Pauper Legality Rule: A card is legal in a Pauper format if it is a common in that format. (Cards that are common in another format like Legacy, but uncommon in all Extended set printings, are not legal).

Timeshifted (Purple rarity symbol-TSB) cards are rares for Pauper purposes (since that is their equivalent rarity, from a frequency point of view) and so are not legal.

The following card sets are permitted in Extended Pauper tournaments:

Ninth Edition
Tenth Edition
Magic 2010
Mirrodin
Darksteel
Fifth Dawn
Champions of Kamigawa
Betrayers of Kamigawa
Saviors of Kamigawa
Ravnica: City of Guilds
Guildpact

Coldsnap
Time Spiral
Planar Chaos
Future Sight

# Cranial Plating

2.4 Is there a banned or a restricted list in PDC?
Yes. Cranial Plating is banned in all formats and Artifact Lands (Ancient Den, Great Furnace, Seat of the Synod, Tree of Tales, Vault of Whispers, Darksteel Citadel) are restricted to one of each in Extended. This is to weaken Affinity decks, which might be metagame-warping otherwise, while allowing one of each Artifact Land to be used by decks in Extended that can find a use of them.
