Pauper: Aggro dominates; diversity concerns persist

Pauper's looking solid this week, even with community rumblings. The Final Health Index sits at a respectable 79.0, indicating a format in decent shape. That being said, it looks like there are a lot of discussions regarding diversity and certain archetypes.

The numbers break down like this: Metagame Diversity is at 77.0, Archetype Distribution hits 87.1, and Event Growth is at 86.3. Player Growth is a whopping 95.9, showing folks are jumping in. The B&R Health Score is at 70.0. Looking at historical data, while diversity has fluctuated, the overall trend shows a relatively stable meta, but it's below where it was in 2022.

So who's on top? Mono Blue Aggro is the deck to beat at 13.5%, followed by Affinity at 10%. Burn is holding steady at 8%, and Red Deck Wins is right behind it at 7%. Aggro dominates the meta at 69.2% of the meta, with Control at 14.5%, and Combo trailing at 16.3%. This looks like an Aggro focused format overall.

Reddit is fired up about format diversity, particularly about "Galvanic Blast" in Burn and "Atog" in Affinity. Some players are calling for bans or restrictions to shake things up, while others want to give the meta time to adjust. There was no action taken on High Tide in the recent B&R announcement, indicating Wizards is gathering more data.
