Well i should have sold some laboratory maniacs a long ago Nice reprint tho.
Some nice inclusions for pauper
Tethmos High Priest , guildmages, Foil
seeing all those rares downshifted i almost wished they had made them commons soo pauper players could get some more power (maybe they could do it in a mtgo masters set for some of those)(this way the greed can be happy and the players more than just happy)
I've been getting into Pauper and I'm STOKED for some of these downgrades.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Living Lore at uncommon makes Treasure Cruise's inclusion make more sense. Something you can plan for in limited - play a Treasure Cruise at around 4-5 lands with a bit of delve assistance... then play a Living Lore as an 8/8 creature... that you can eventually cash in for another Cruise if you'd like.
Wow, they really did the counters thing again for green and white? I don't mind seeing it once in a while, but they have been going nuts on the counter boost since Kaladesh and they did a horrible job on the -1 counter mechanics. Experience counters would have been nice for limited.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Experience counters would have been nice for limited.
Wait, wut? An ability that exists on five opposing-color-pair cards, all marked mythic, designed to be used as commanders, and was never designed for any limited environment of any sort... would have been 'nice for limited'?
Man, I'm so confused. Lab Man at uncommon, but Talrand at rare? That seems like such a strange decision to me. I mean, I'm not one to complain about downshifts, but if there's any effect that seems like it deserves the rare slot, you would imagine it being the card with an alternate win condition.
Pauper fans get hyped

This must be an exciting time.
Blue players are crapping themselves. Foil and Fire//Ice at common is nuts.
Yeah, alt-victory at uncommon is a first. Feels very weird, but appropriate for this set.
Well, that's one way to do $8 uncommons... didn't see it coming, though.
