New unofficial MTG format: Destitute

I love playing Magic: The Gathering but I'm also competitive and am hard-wired not to lose if at all possible. That becomes problematic when teaching my kids the game because I generally win, which is not fun for them and they quickly lose interest. I've been looking for a 'handicap' that could level the playing field and came up with Destitute: cards that are legal in both Pauper and Modern formats:

Pauper	Modern	Destitute
Legal in Pauper but not Modern so NOT Destitute legal	Legal in Modern but not Pauper so NOT Destitute legal	Legal in Pauper and Modern so IS Destitute legal

I let my kids play Modern decks but I restrict myself to Destitute decks as a handicap. It has the right balance of challenge for me since it takes more work to develop a good Pauper deck and even though I don't win as often my competitive side is assuaged knowing it was only because I was limited in my options. As a bonus, Destitute decks are cheaper so I can make more of them!

Here are a few Destitute decks to give you some starting ideas:

• Destitute Modular (mono-white)
• Destitute Stompy (mono-green)
• Destitute Spawns (gruul)
