Pauper

Over the past several months, we've observed a rise in both play rate and win rate of blue-based decks in Pauper, with Blue-Black Delver sustaining a +55% win rate on Magic Online. In the past, we'd seen aggressive decks keeping blue tempo strategies in check to some degree, but with the recent additions of Augur of Bolas and the Foil/Gush combination, blue decks have continued to pull ahead of the pack.

Blue has long owed its strengths in Pauper to efficient cantrips like Ponder, Preordain, and Brainstorm, and free spells like Gush, Daze, and Gitaxian Probe. After determining we needed to take action to correct blue's dominance in the metagame, we considered several approaches.

Based on this, what do you think will show up on the top of the interests tomorrow?
