No more "Win with only common, uncommon, or rare decks," objectives unless you can make sure the match is against another deck of the same restrictions.

Seriously, it's not even a fair fight if you're placed up against a tier1 mythic deck.

    After being destroyed by full-powered decks while playing with a pauper pile too many times, I've just stopped trying to meet these objectives.

    The suggestion was made before, and I think it is a good one, to restrict whole events in this way so it's fair.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this is the greatest trap for new players.
    They're still very winnable with Rare- decks, but you have to pack so much removal in case you face that pumped up Mythic+ deck.

    It's like a variant on Prisoner's Dilemma. Every time somebody gives up on the objective, they become one of those high-powered mythic decks that makes it harder for everyone else to hit the objective....

    I'm still playing a pile, it's just a pile with mythics ;)

    I In the current format, a top tier mythic+ deck can generate a full board of creatures every turn, plus generate at least 10 loyalty.  At one removal spell per turn, there is little that can match that power.

    win this: cascades, gaea, reinforced each turn due to permanent. game over. 16+32+48... only white or black have removal that is useable at the current state

    I hate pauper as much as the next person--it's a ridiculously overused objective--but the games are still very winnable.   Yes, you're starting at a disadvantage, but some of the posts in this thread make it sound like people feel it's an impossible obstacle to surmount. It isn't.
