Due to the graciousness of WoTC , the final results of the last three Pauper Premier Events is available in CSV(ish) format. This allows for some good old data crunching and we have possibility getting a broader picture of the Pauper format and the metagame that surrounds it.
Originally I only crunched some simple data from the last PE but with the help of SpikeBoyM and Polari from the pdcmagic.com forums I was finally able to get all three premier event results parsed, trended, and rendered in a nice HTML format for everybody pour over and analyze.
Using a C# program I wrote I created a nice , sortable ( click on the table headings ) table based breakdown of the cards that made up the decks of all three Pauper Premier Events.
Its pretty wild to see that Pauper has a pretty flowing metagame. Mono Red Burn looked hot for the 2nd PE but died during the third, you can see how MBC took off, and weirdly how all the sliver decks played the exact same amount of core slivers for the 2nd and 3rd PE. So much to look at!
Have fun!
Oh, and please leave your suggestions or comments of what other kinds of data of information you’d like to see. I am working on adding support for archetypes and other information in my data cruncher but its a bit more complex to get this data shaped and formed the way I’d like.
