I’m amused by the impressive color diversity of the current Pauper metagame, and thinking about it gives me an opportunity to reflect on a portion of the metagame. There’s a reasonable monocolored option for each color, and also a good choice for each color pair.
Monocolored options:
| White | |
| Blue | |
| Black | |
| Red | |
| Green |
And some options from each color pair:
| WU | |
| WB | |
| WR | |
| WG | |
| UB | |
| UR | |
| UG |
Turbo Fog; Fog Tron is rooted in UG, but splashes for every other color. |
| BR | |
| BG | |
| RG |
One fun aspect of this is how well each of these decks represent the historic character of these color combinations. Certainly not all of these do as well in the metagame as others.
