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:

  • 10.2% meta presence (most played)
  • 50.18% winrate (essentially even)
  • 199 entries across 63 tournaments

Top Performers by Winrate:

  1. Mono Blue Faeries - 57.85% WR, 2.93% meta
  2. Caw Gates - 53.89% WR, 4.06% meta
  3. Elves - 53.04% WR, 5.74% meta
  4. Spy Combo - 53.05% WR, 3.30% meta
  5. Golgari Garden - 52.92% WR, 3.24% meta
  6. Grixis Affinity - 52.24% WR, 6.49% meta

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.
