Top 4 Pauper Draft Decks and Updated Spring League Standings
The top 4 finishers and their pauper draft decks were:
1)3-0 B/R 2xHideous End,2xPlated Geopede,Hexmage,Marsh Casualties by Billy Barkley
2)3-0 Naya 2xVines Vastwood,Journey,Shepherd Lost,Burst Lightning by Michael Patterson
3)2-1 Green 4xScythe Tiger,2x Timbermaw Larva,2xGrazing,2xMold Shambler by Tom Nuzum
4a)2-1 G/B 2xRiver Boa,Woodcrasher,Grazing,Harrow by Stormy Lombardi
4b)2-1 U/R 2xLiving Tsunami,2xMerfolk Seastalkers,3xPunishing Fire by Allen Greer
Note: The two pods starting at different times and running separately caused some confusion including whether all prize winners would be awarded league points. With the same tiebreaks it seems fairer to just award one 4th place point to both players than flip a coin and leave one out in the cold.

Top Decks Feature (Legacy)
Legacy is a really fun format that lets you play cards from any set in magic except for the silver bordered Unglued and Unhinged. This can be a little intimidating if you are a new player. Here are some of the decks that have been doing well lately at Columbia Free Magic. Feel free to copy them or make your own monster that will crush them. Happy building!
1)G/W/B Rock or "Junk". This deck uses efficient creatures like tarmogoyf and Knight of the Reliquary along with card advantage spells like Hymn to Tourach to grind out advantageous board states where they have at least one morethreat than their opponents has answers. Here is a decklist http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=37047 Potential Weaknesses: Hyper aggressive decks like Mono Red Burn or glacially slow decks like Landstill
2)Dredge. This deck abuses it's graveyard by using a card called Bridge from Below that makes zombie tokens even when it is in the graveyard and several "dredgers" like Golgari Grave Troll that repeatedly put useful cards into the graveyard. Decklist: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=37034 Potential Weaknesses: Anything that can repeatedly remove graveyards. Once is not enough.
3)Affinity. This deck makes lots of artifacts very quickly and boosts their power using an equipment called Cranial Plating or sacrifices some to make one huge creature using an artifact creature called Arcbound Ravager. They also play a card called disciple of the vault that hurts their opponent whenever an artifact dies. Decklist: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=37037 Potential Weaknesses: Decks with both pinpoint removal like Swords to Plowshares to deal with Disciple and mass removal to destroy lots of artifacts at once.
4)Landstill. This control deck plays lots of counters and an enchantment called Standstill that lets a player draw three cards if their opponent plays a spell. By playing lots of lands that can turn into creatures like Mishra's Factory, Landstill can win if neither person plays spells. Decklist:
http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=36639 Potential Weaknesses: Decks that win quickly without relying on one key spell to resolve and/or decks that feature creatures with island walk that its lands can't block.
There are lots more decks, but these are a good starting point to consider. Have fun!
