Pauper Staples
Roadmap
What's being worked on for Pauper Staples, and what comes after. Ideas and feedback are welcome through the box on the What's new page.
Now
- Getting found on search engines. Every deck has its own page (like Elves) with its average list; next is registering the site with Google and Bing so these pages show up in search.
- A complete Impressum and privacy notice.
Next
- Paste a deck, see it instantly. Paste a decklist and see which archetype it is, how close it is to the average list, and what the winning lists play differently. No collection needed.
- Find any deck on the Meta page, including the smaller ones with fewer than three results.
- Short share links instead of the long ones that carry the whole list.
Later
- Discord: a weekly "decks on the move" post and a deck command.
- Compare with a friend's list when you open their deck link.
What it does today
- Every Pauper archetype from MTGTop8 results, with an average 60 + 15 list, also-played cards, spicy tech and recent results with event size.
- Your collection (paper and MTGO) next to the meta: how much of each deck you own, what's missing and what it costs.
- Buy lists for Cardmarket or Moxfield, and proxies to print.
- Your own version of a deck, with history and a comparison against the average list and the latest top decks.
- Share images and deck links; open a friend's link to see if you can build their deck.
- Trends: which decks are on the move and which win more than expected, with an explanation of how every number is counted.
- Start by pasting your collection (Moxfield, ManaBox, MTGO) and see straight away which decks you're closest to.
- Works without an account; an account only syncs between devices, and you can delete it yourself any time.
- Simple visitor counts without cookies or anything stored about you.
- Sign in with Discord or email, all on pauperstaples.com; download all your data from the Account page.
- Meta filtered by where it was played: paper, MTGO or Endstep.
Left out on purpose
- Weighting the meta share by event size. Every listed deck counts once, so the numbers can be checked against MTGTop8. The event filter shows bigger events only.
- A combined paper + MTGO view. It was tried and was too confusing.
- Importing from a Moxfield link. Pasting a list works with every app.
