What's new & feedback

14 November 2026

Endstep gets its own filter

• Many Pauper tournaments now run on Endstep, a free browser client (about a quarter of all listed decks). They used to be counted as “online” together with MTGO.
• On Meta, “Where it was played” now has Everywhere, Paper, MTGO and Endstep, and event lists say where each event was played.

14 November 2026

A tidier menu

• The menu at the top right (now ☰) is grouped: You, Display, Help & news. The Roadmap is in there too.
• Banned cards you own no longer show up on Your Staples.

14 November 2026

Sign in with Discord

• You can now sign in with Discord. Already have an account? Connect Discord on your Account page.
• Accounts without a confirmed email get a reminder to add one (or connect Discord), so a forgotten password doesn't mean a lost collection. Close it once and it stays away.

Simpler sign-in

• The sign-in page now stays on pauperstaples.com: sign in or create an account with email and password. Sign-in with Discord is coming next.

Download all your data

• New on the Account page: “Download my data” gives you one file with everything saved in your browser and, with an account, everything the server keeps for you.

Help finding your export

• Every paste box now has a short “Where do I find the export?” with the steps for Moxfield, ManaBox and MTGO.
• Pasted a Moxfield link instead of the list? The site now tells you how to get the list out of Moxfield.

Start with your cards

• New here? The welcome screen now starts with your collection: paste it (or pick an export from Moxfield, ManaBox or MTGO) and see right away which meta decks you're closest to.
• No account needed for any of it; your cards stay in this browser.
• You can now delete your account yourself, on the Account page.
• Login cookies are now stored on the server only as a hash, so not even a copy of the database could be used to sign in as you.

Simple visitor counts

• The site now counts visits per day and which pages are opened, to see what helps. No cookies, nothing stored in your browser, no third-party tools, nothing that follows you around.
• The privacy page explains how it works.

13 November 2026

A new address: pauperstaples.com

• Pauper Staples now lives at pauperstaples.com. Links, share images and link previews use the new address.
• The old address staples.dennha.de keeps working and takes you to the new one, with the cards and decks saved in your browser.
• With an account, sign in once on the new address; your collection comes from your account as before.
• Every deck in the meta has its own address, like pauperstaples.com/decks/elves, with its average list readable by search engines.
• Share images, share links and the link preview picture show pauperstaples.com.

Your Staples as card pictures

Your Staples

• New Cards view: switch between List and Cards above the staples. Every card as a picture, with your owned mark in the corner, the number you sort by underneath and − / + to count your copies. Tap a card for the details. Your choice is remembered in this browser.
• A sort bar above the list: Deck share, Archetypes, Needed, Missing, Owned, Price or Name. Tap the active one again to flip the order.
• Colour filter with mana symbols: switch on as many colours as you like. A red-green card shows when red or green is on. With “only these colours” a card shows only when all its colours are on, so red + green gives mono red, mono green and red-green cards. Colourless has its own button.

11 November 2026

Fonts from our own server

Privacy

• Text fonts and mana symbols now come from this site itself. Your browser no longer contacts Google Fonts or jsDelivr when you visit.

6 November 2026

Fairer trends and real 60-card lists

Trends

• “Popular or winning?” now compares a deck's 1st places with what was expected at the events it played, so wins at small locals and big events count fairly. 1.0× is average; only decks with 8+ results are shown.
• MTGO leagues (5-0 lists) no longer count as wins or top 8s: they have no places.
• Decks on the move only shows real moves (at least 1 point) and shows the share before and now.
• Rising cards need to come from at least 3 different events.
• A “How it's counted” box on the Decks and Trends tabs explains every number.

Deck pages

• The deck list is now an average list of exactly 60 cards and 15 sideboard cards: the most played cards at their usual count.
• Cards that are played a lot but didn't fit into the 60 + 15 are listed below under “Also played”.
• Your own version starts from this 60-card list.
• Recent results show how big each event was (★★, ★★★ or Major), and wins at ★★ events and bigger stand out.
• A deck that won a ★★ event or bigger shows it at the top of its page, with the field size.
• Spicy tech now only lists the rare cards (5–10% of decks), so no card shows up twice.

New look, deck tools and proxies

Paper and MTGO

• Keep a paper and an MTGO collection: switch between them under “My cards” in the ⋮ menu, and see the other one's count next to each card.
• Import MTGO collections (.dek or .csv) straight into the MTGO side.
• Each deck you play has a Paper / MTGO tag; its completion, buy list and prices follow it. MTGO prices are in tix.

Look

• New logo and new Meta and Staples icons, also in the browser tab, on share images and on link previews.
• Meta is now the start page, and the Meta tab comes first.
• Calmer phone layout: no boxes behind boxes, no outlines around cards, a ring that shows how much of the meta you own.
• Pop-ups are solid and wider; the close button sits in the middle of its circle.
• Lighter effects, so the site stays calm in Firefox.
• A new link preview: a binder page of staples with how many you own of each.
• The welcome tour opens on an animated binder page: the top staples slide into their pockets and show how many you own.
• The welcome tour has a step about Paper and MTGO.

Meta

• Look at just one event: pick it in the filter bar (e.g. Paupergeddon) to see its standings and only its decks.
• Archetype tiles show the deck's key cards, its colours, share of the meta and wins.
• Trends: decks on the move, trophies and a "popular or winning" chart, for the last 7, 14 or 30 days.
• Players: the top players by top-8 finishes.
• Trends use the same filters as Decks: time window, event size, paper or online. The chart and "decks on the move" follow them.

Your decks

• Deck pages have the tabs Your deck, Your tokens and Compare.
• Compare puts your list next to the average list or one of the latest top decks, with place, field size and a mark for top players.
• Editing: a floating Edit button, a bar at the bottom with your card counts, Add and Done, and a sheet to add cards or paste a whole list.
• Bigger + and − buttons that don't select text when you tap them.
• Tap a card picture while editing to pick the artwork you want to see.
• Typical cards you left out are only suggested when most decks play them.
• Tapping a card picture while editing opens just the artwork picker, right in the middle of the screen.

Proxies

• Mark proxies per card: "Proxies (of 4)" counts how many of your copies are stand-ins. They never count as cards you own.
• Print proxies on A4 at real card size: full card, ink saver (pale greyscale) or a text-only playtest card, in colour or black & white.
• The card pop-up on Your Staples shows which of your decks use the card and how many of those are proxies.

Sharing

• Share a deck as Square, Portrait, Discord image or as plain Text to paste anywhere.

Archetypes

• Suggest a split when some decks of an archetype are really a different deck (for example the Writhing Chrysalis version of Caw Gates is Naya Gates).
• Merges, renames, splits and play styles now show up on the site within a minute.
• Deck colours count what the cards cost, so colourless-looking cards like Writhing Chrysalis still make a deck red and green.
• Deck colours can be corrected by hand when they are still off.
• Each deck's tile picture can be changed to the artwork of any card.
• Archetype tiles can be fine-tuned by hand: name, colours, the three cards and their artworks, the picture and the tags.

Accounts

• Sign up with an email: confirmation mail, password reset, and a button to send the confirmation link again.
• The reset and confirmation buttons say when they have sent and wait a few seconds before they can send again.
• Emails now reliably arrive at Gmail and other providers.

Feedback

• A feedback box on this page: ideas, bugs or a deck that is filed wrong go straight to the site admin.

Passkeys, a calmer design and a welcome tour

• Sign in with a passkey through Pocket ID, or with email and password.
• A calmer design with less text and clearer wording.
• A short welcome tour that explains the site; open it again any time under "How it works".
• Falling cards in the background, off by default; switch them on in the ⋮ menu.
• Light and dark mode.
• A security review of the whole site.

Before

Where it started

• Your Staples: the cards the Pauper meta plays most, with how many you own, what is missing and what it costs.
• Meta: every archetype from MTGTop8 tournament results with its typical list, trends and top players.
• Mark the decks you play, keep your own version of each and see how close you are to building it.
• Buy lists for Moxfield, Manabox or Cardmarket, import from text or CSV, and your collection on every device with an account.
