I'll analyze the current Pauper meta to identify the best performing deck.
Now let me get tournament sources for citation:
Based on the last 60 days of tournament data, Mono Blue Faeries is the best performing deck in Pauper with a 57.85% winrate (excluding draws), despite only being the 12th most played archetype at 2.93% meta share.
However, if you're looking at the most dominant/popular deck, Mono Blue Terror leads the meta:
Top Performers by Winrate:
Meta Context:
The Pauper meta is quite diverse with no single dominant deck. Mono Blue Terror has the highest presence but performs at only 50% winrate, suggesting it's well-known but not overwhelming. The highest winrate decks (Faeries, Caw Gates, Elves) all sit under 6% meta share, indicating they may be under-the-radar choices with favorable matchup spreads.
