Pauper on arena
Pauper would be an excellent addition to arena for gameplay, community usage of common wild cards, and for bringing in older sets.
Pauper is an excellent eternal format that is accessible in paper, provides reliable viability to midrange decks for players who enjoy midrange metas. It would also be endlessly accessible to players on Arena because most players have an abundance of common wildcards.
Most importantly, it would be an extremely easy format to code into Arena because commons are frequently textless cards or cards with very simple mechanics that already exist in the current arena card pool. Then the cards that do have more complicated mechanics in their rules text will be a great opportunity to put those mechanics on the app, which will make further expansion into magics history easier to do going forward

Pauper has been (and still is) a beloved format of the MtG community for years, Pauper events are always something great to look forward to, but often simply leave many players wanting for more.
Pauper should be added as a permanent format in MtG: Arena, giving people a place to use their common cards and bringing more members of the community (those who play mostly Pauper) to Arena.Additionally, in the marketplace, there should be the addition to buy common wildcards 4 at a time like with uncommons and rares, allowing everyone (especially new players coming to MtG: Arena for Pauper) to get more commons to build Pauper decks while simultaneously broadening revenue streams on Arena. This seems like a win-win for everyone, and I would love to see this implemented in some form some day.
