Common Island
On October 25th 2025, we hosted Common Island — a Pauper tournament at the legendary Conne Island in Connewitz, Leipzig. Together with Pauper to the People, we turned the venue into a tropical battleground for seven rounds of Magic and community. With 121 players, it became the biggest Pauper event in Germany to date.
I was again part of the organisation crew, helping to plan and run the event while also creating its visual identity — from the poster and custom merchandise to my first-ever playmat, which I sold at the venue.
I also designed a basic Island proxy that every participant received as a small souvenir. My visuals were featured on the engraved trophy for the winner. The aim was to make Common Island feel cohesive and memorable, balancing the energy of competition with a playful, island-inspired aesthetic.

Here some pictures from the venue and the prize presentation, capturing the atmosphere and community spirit that made the day special. I might also include a short video of me handing the first-place prize to my friend
Jean-Michel — a perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
I want to thank all the participants, sponsors, and the orga crew. It never ceases to amaze me what we can achieve with such a strong collective — and how much you learn from organising events that grow from a shared hobby.
Pauper to the People!
