Wrote a cool Caw-Gates guide with @MTGVanni @EdoBardi and @LaudatiPietro10.
It's free for all to enjoy:

Feedback is appreciated!
Won LPPisa final road to Paupergeddon EW with Flicker Tron.
Decklist a bit teched for it, with @Otacon_91 exclude (he played grixis thou)
We tried open decklists and it was great!
Plunder is the card draw spell blue desperately needed.

Final Grixis - 🗼❌🗼 @Otacon_91
Top4 at Radioatog Team Trio (36 teams) with team @golden_pigs1:
Me on UB control (5-3)
@bragioto on R Madness (6-2)
@MTGVanni on Jund (5-2-1)
Doom Blade and no trinket mage due to team deckbuilding restrictions.
Event was gas as always!
Top8 split with UB Gingilli at Apocalypse IPT by LPAlbenga (110 players), undefeated in swiss, same deck and result as @LorenzoMontana_ .
Finally creativity has been unlocked in pauper.
Strix helps to grind and trinket mage toolbox is very handy (plus they "combo" with bow)

Good work, I'm so happy to be back to the drawing board!
A lot of you have shared your feedback on Zeta in Pauper - so we've reviewed our stance and will be making these cards legal. (With some prebans.) Check this out for more info:

#wotcstaff
Now that all 52 commons have been spoilered, this it how I would've handled the issue
No format legality changes.
Prebanned:
Price of Progress
Narcomeba
Vandalblast
This is the list of downshifts:

I will go card by card in comments

Dispatch: strong removal, but inherently weak to artifact hate which the format is full of. Probably the strongest card of the 9, but worth a month or two of trial.
An Offer you can't refuse: it can have some fringe play in deck like fogs and combo decks but not much more.
(4/5)

Zeta should be judged by what it is, not by the Secret Lair label.
Apply Pauper rules, evaluate cards case by case, ban where needed.
Don’t close the door on the format’s future.

I usually agree on pfp decisions but this one seems a huge missed opportunity to me.
It looks like the commander master downshift that brought some banned cards (glitter) but also many really fun strong but fair cards like Serpent and Mystic
Why don't just preban the broken (1/2)
Got 21th place at Paupergeddon Summer 2026 (1066 players) with UW Fams (che gasa) with an 11-3 score, usual list with Abandon and Strands.
Also went 5-2 for 15th place at Top Pauper Player on friday with Jeskai Geodude.
As always amazing experience!

It's me, "Tommaso dei Mostri", got a pauper challenge top4 playing @golden_pigs1 elves (my second one overall given I enjoy paper play way more).
As usual, deck is as good as the slalom skills of the player😆.
See you at Paupergeddon!
Got 10th place yesterday at Super IPT Summer Is Magic (136 players) with Jeskai Bender, card that I've really undervaluated.
Also it's the first time a deck that I and @LorenzoMontana_ with LPPisa built from scratch got outright banned, kinda cool (1/2)
Forgot to add that the tournament score was 6-2, beating MonoR Madness, RB Madness, 2X Naya gates, Boros Tribe, Dredge, losing to Bogles and the mirror (@Otacon_91)
