Hope people don't mind a little bit of self promotion, but this has been a pet project that required a lot of effort so I want to share it with as many people as I can and hopefully it can entice people to try this format we know and love.
For those who are familiar, I put together An Introduction to Competitive Pauper about a year ago that was pretty well received. Since then we've seen new banned cards and new sets, both of which have impacted the format we know and love.

Oh, you think the losers' bracket is your ally, but you merely adopted the scrub tier. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t 4-0 an FNM until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but an extra pack to sell for store credit!
A good article that also got me interested in PPS! No mention of hexproof auras even in rogue decks? Thought it was more popular than that.

you're definitely right I thought about that after especially since it is starting to get so much support throughout the community, I fully expect the deck to step up again as soon as FissurePost gets banned out
