Everyone has a price they're willing to pay, and I'd love to see it in the comments or on the Draftsim Discord
The one innovation was that, while Innistrad only had DFCs that were a creature on both sides (and one planeswalker on both sides at mythic rare), Dark Ascension had two DFCs that started as artifacts, one of which wasn't even a creature on the back face
no synergy or combo has emerged that makes the card way better than it used to be, nor is there a particularly great MTG commander option available in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set
Even cheap cards like Mire Triton or Guildsworn Prowler can stop terror decks from getting thanks to Deathtouch The rest of the meta is around the same, as Pauper has many viable options, and it's very diverse with a pool of different decks you can choose from
You can use it to line up combo pieces and late-game finishers with minimal investment
Note: Cards at a 7 or lower for centering may have a chance at the MC (Miscut) qualifier
