Dear PFP

1.Introduction

・Machine translation is used.
・I created this article to address youtube's character limit.
・I participate tabletop pauper events 3 times a week.
・I participate in at least 10 tabletop REL：Competitive pauper event a year.
(※ Added on December 31, 2024.
In 2024, it was nine times.)

2.Candid opinion

I was disappointed.
If you are playing tabletop, it is obvious that you have to set the banned cards from Broodscale Combo. 《Basking Broodscale》and 《Writhing Chrysalis》 should leave pauper immediately.
It is very sad that PFP is disrespecting the tabletop, although Pauper has been enjoyed as an official format at the tabletop since 2019.
Someone already made a similar comment, but it would be the AI's job, not the PFP's, to consider whether or not to ban based on the win rate.

3.Why should Broodscale Combo be banned?

I want to remind you. That you people banned 《All That Glitters》.
All the reasons for banning 《All That Glitters》　also apply to Broodscale Combo.
And it saves a lot of time and a lot of mouse clicks on the tabletop!
In fact, Broodscale Combo has always dominated and excelled in tabletop pauper events.
If the PFP is a group with a deep knowledge of pauper, they should be able to understand the mechanisms just described.
That is why it is so sad that PFP is neglecting the table top.

And it's about whether we should ban 《Writhing Chrysalis》 as well as 《Basking Broodscale》.
In a match between RG Ponza and Broodscale Combo, RG Ponza is at a disadvantage.
If Broodscale Combo is banned, it is predictable that RG Ponza will flourish.
As with Broodscale Combo, the pattern of play is not exactly interesting to say the least.
Also, even if they were to lose the force of 《Writhing Chrysalis》, RG Ponza would not lose all of the new force of MH3.
After all, 《Basking Broodscale》and 《Writhing Chrysalis》 are overkill specs for pauper.

4.Do we need to ban other decks?

⬛︎ Kuldotha Red

At the very least, trying to ban 《Kuldotha Rebirth》 or 《Goblin Bushwhacker》 is nonsense.
Right now in Pauper, the "purely token creature attack strategy" is about 《Kuldotha Rebirth》 and 《Battle Screech》.（《Murmuring Mystic》 is out of the group. Isn't that obvious?）
There is little return to be gained by killing one of the many different strategies that Pauper has.

Also, although Kuldotha Red is not as good as Broodscale Combo, updating the banned list should be considered. Candidates are 《Great Furnace》 and 《Goblin Tomb Raider》.
Banning 《Great Furnace》 is effective, but also risky.
Banning 《Goblin Tomb Raider》 is also effective; the risk is small. The same effect can be expected as when 《Monastery Swiftspear》 is banned.

Banning 《Great Furnace》 is a serious decision, but it would be an extremely effective scapegoat to protect a lot of cards from being banned. Whether or not they actually ban it, I find it puzzling that the Pauper community is currently not discussing the banning of 《Great Furnace》 very much.
In any case, the safest course of action is to ban 《Goblin Tomb Raider》. The reason for prohibiting it is the same as in 《Monastery Swiftspear》. No problem.

⬛︎ Affinity

The proposal mentioned earlier to ban 《Great Furnace》 also works to a point. It can damage the mana base while weakening 《Galvanic Blast》 and 《Red Elemental Blast》.
However, Affinity still has more cards to consider banning. 《Deadly Dispute》, of course, but also 《Krark-Clan Shaman》, 《Refurbished Familiar》, etc. ...

Frankly, what should be banned depends on what other cards should be banned or not. However, banning 《Refurbished Familiar》 would be effective and less risky.

What to ban should be considered, but I don't see it as a higher priority than Broodscale Combo or Kuldotha Red at all.

5.Greetings

Thanks for reading this far.
Since I am using machine translation, I am very concerned about whether the text will be conveyed as I intended.
So in closing, let me summarize what I wanted to say in this article.

・Broodscale Combo should definitely be banned.
・We can't just consider banning based on MO's winning percentage.

There are many other things I would like to say. However, the above two are the two things I really want to convey at the very least. 
I hope the PFP will return to that time when they quickly banned the 《Cranial Ram》.
