At the same time Tron is the only deck that can reliably utilize cards from KozilekвЂ™s lineage due to the nature of Pauper mana bases. Ancient Stirrings is a fantastic tutor and the ability of that card to go fetch Scour from Existence should not be underrated. While colorless mana is abundant in Pauper thanks to various lists build around UrzaTron - (UrzaвЂ™s Mine), (UrzaвЂ™s Power Plant), and (UrzaвЂ™s Tower) - Colorless as a theme is tough to pull off. Cohort, the ability word wherein two Allies tap for a benefit, does nothing to change this reality. The benefit of investing in Allies is not worth the cost and so they fall by the wayside. While cards like Oran-Rief Survivalist are independently strong the entire population of common Allies pale in comparison to a tribe like Slivers. The Ally creature type has been around since Pauper was first sanctioned. Neither of these have made waves in Pauper and Oath of the Gatewatch is not likely to change that fact. Two major themes in the set are Colorless Mana and Allies. The limited scope of the commons is not an accident - the small set nature of Oath combined with the fact it will supply two packs for booster draft means that the commons have to do some serious work to support limited.

At the same time the commons feel narrow.

With the full spoiler released, it now feels like my anticipation was not met.Дo not get me wrong - Oath of the Gatewatch is jam packed with good stuff and there are cards sure to make an impact in Pauper. Despite the fact that some of the more exciting cards from the set were spoiled ahead of schedule I was looking forward to what the final set in the Battle for Zendikar block had to offer Pauper. To say I was excited for Oath of the Gatewatch would be an accurate statement.
