New Room for Registration and Reporting

To mirror the good changes being made by 7PDC, our rooms will now be PDC for meet-up and chat, and XPDC for registration, pairings, and results.

Calling all Paupers: NEW EXTENDED!

posted Oct 10, 2010 5:25 PM by Polyjak Polyjak

Hello Paupers! 

Due to Wizards' recent massive change of the Extended format and the impending format rotation which knocks Time Spiral block and 10th Edition out of Extended, there has never been a better time for newcomers to jump into Extended. 

Starting with XPDC 9.01 on Wednesday, October 20 at 8:30pm ET, the following sets will be legal in Pauper Extended: 

Magic 2010 
Magic 2011 
Lorwyn 
Morningtide 
Shadowmoor 
Eventide 
Shards of Alara 
Conflux 
Alara Reborn 
Zendikar 
Worldwake 
Rise of the Eldrazi 
Scars of Mirrodin
 

XPDC on Wednesday nights and daytimes on Sundays at 7PDC are your weekly opportunities to enjoy this bigger, badder card-pool. 

XPDC runs 4 rounds of Swiss every week, and even if you don't make the playoffs you have a chance at a playset of Extended-legal commons as a door prize (plus anything donated by players). Top 8 players are guaranteed a playset of commons, and T4, 2nd place, and 1st place players get 2, 4, or 7 credits at any of the MarlonMTGO.com bots. 

You've got more than a week to read up on the metagame, get some playtesting in, and prepare for Wednesday, October 20 at XPDC 9.01. 

Hope to see you there!

Season 8 Updates

posted Sep 22, 2010 4:27 PM by Polyjak Polyjak

Work has been taking its toll on me, but XPDC rages on.

Trophies WILL be made for the past few events. Fear not, recent winners!

Also, there WILL be an XPDC Season 9, and it will coincide with the online release of Scars of Mirrodin. If there are empty weeks between the end of Season 8 and the start of Season 9, we will run alt format events. Details to follow.

Season 8 Begins!

posted Aug 14, 2010 9:12 AM by Polyjak Polyjak

After Krosanbeast9359's stunning victory at XPDC Worlds 7, we're keeping the intensity high with XPDC 8.01 starting this coming Wednesday! A brand new season, an entire new set of cards (M11), and a clean slate on the season scoreboard! Only 16 players from Season 8 will be invited to Worlds 8 so it's a mad race to the top this short season! Play every week and be sure to post your decklist on Gatherling! See you there!

New Extended Deck Encyclopedia

Every winning archetype in the New Pauper Extended will be archived in the Deck Encyclopedia here: http://forums.pdcmagic.com/viewtopic.php?t=4527

I also updated the Pauper Extended Hall of Fame here: http://forums.pdcmagic.com/viewtopic.php?t=4330

Please, please, PLEASE give your decklist a good combing over for legality! We've really been struggling at XPDC and 7PDC with illegal decks. For complete information about format legality, please visit http://forums.pdcmagic.com/viewtopic.php?t=4315

New Format

posted Jul 28, 2010 5:49 PM by Polyjak Polyjak

A little late, but these are the sets legal in the NEW Pauper Extended format:

10th Edition
Magic 2010
Time Spiral
Planar Chaos
Future Sight
Lorwyn
Morningtide
Shadowmoor
Eventide
Shards of Alara
Conflux
Alara Reborn
Zendikar
Worldwake
Rise of the Eldrazi

Your card must have been printed as a COMMON in one of those sets to be legal in XPDC.

Three Warnings

posted Jun 24, 2010 9:49 AM by Polyjak Polyjak

Our largest turnout saw many newcomers to the format, but it also saw three rules infractions: two illegal decks, and an unreported DROP. We also had some players who weren't present at the beginning of a round of play. Please be sure you read the rules before you participate in XPDC. This makes things more pleasant and enjoyable for players and host alike!

Major Extended Format Shift

posted Jun 18, 2010 9:36 AM by Polyjak Polyjak

Starting on July 14, 2010 with XPDC 7.08, the Extended format will be radically different on MTGO, according to WotC.

The new format will include:

10th Edition
Magic 2010
Time Spiral
Planar Chaos
Future Sight
Lorwyn
Morningtide
Shadowmoor
Eventide
Shards of Alara
Conflux
Alara Reborn
Zendikar
Worldwake
Rise of the Eldrazi

XPDC legality will change to reflect this shift. Cards at common rarity in the above sets will be legal in XPDC.

XPDC Season 7 Worlds Structure

posted Jun 12, 2010 12:27 AM by Polyjak Polyjak

After Season 5 and Season 6 without a Worlds tourney to wrap up the XPDC action, Season 7 is going to have quite a finale!

Check the "Championship Tournament" section of this site for information regarding the XPDC Season 7 Worlds Championship tournament!

Keep your eyes glued to the XPDC Season 7 Scoreboard from now on!

Also, remember that there will be NO XPDC on June 16. We will resume on June 23 after a mid-season break.

June 16 = Off Week

posted Jun 9, 2010 9:29 PM by Polyjak Polyjak

There will be no XPDC on June 16. We'll resume our normal Pauper Extended events with XPDC 7.05 on Wednesday, June 23.

In the meantime, figure out how to crush Soldiers off the metagame map. (Hint: USE BLACK.)
