60 Commons Vs. 60 Mythics - Who will Win?


Today Seth and I are going to find out who wins: 60 Commons or 60 Mythics. While some of you may say that the Mythics easily win on power level, let me remind you that this restriction includes the lands. Others might say that a pauper deck easily crushes the Mythics. This might be true but since we’re playing on Arena, we miss out on all the broken commons from the original Pauper format.
I guess you’ll just have to watch the video to find out the answer.

Conclusion 

Ok, turns out, both decks can dish out some heat once they get going. The Mythics have a huge disadvantage in their mana base but make up for it in raw powerlevel once they got some lands.

Elves is my favorite historic pauper deck, due to the Mythic’s painful mana base, you could metagame them by picking a more aggressive deck. Mono Red or Black aggro decks will probably have a favorable matchup.

In the end, I think the Mythics would be the stronger deck but not by much. That being said, as soon as we include the full card pool of the Pauper format, the commons would destroy the Mythics without a question.
