If you want to get players to consider Pauper, make sure you focus on the aspects a player in a card shop will care about: Pauper, All/Only Commons, and Cheap/Accessible. What shouldn't be plastered everywhere is MTGO (an instant turn-off for paper players) and PDC (which means nothing to normal players).
The goal should be to make sure players know that the format exists, that it is easy to get into, and that it can be just as competitive and fun as Standard/Legacy/whatever. Direct them to PDCMagic.com for more information, but ensure the format comes first, not PDC.

Is this really all that scary for new players? Is the presence of "MTGO" on here that big a turn-off that people will dismiss the flyer?

Yes, atleast 90% of the time.

Polyjak, I made one for what you had written.

And the 10% that actually try or already use MTGO and /join PDC are likely to be underwhelmed by what they see. I'd leave that bit off entirely until such point that our own community embraces it as they used to.

Stewie.
AWESOME. If you could do a couple more things i think it'd be perfect.
1. Take off the /join PDC thing at the bottom and make the tabs bigger so they fill that space.
2. Make the PDCMagic.com text as big as possible. Bigger, even, than the title, "Pauper Magic." Maybe the art could get a tad smaller to accomodate this, because the rest of the layout and spacing is great, with plenty of white space.
I think we're getting there.

Okay, changes made. Compare the other one to this.

Time for really anal Polyjak. Two more requests:
1. Get rid of 'form your own tournaments' and leave that space white.
2. Make the tabs wider. I know there will be fewer of them, but... I think it'd be better for them to be a little more substantial. Maybe like 1.5 times their current size.
Thanks, man. I'm looking forward to trying to get the word out.

Removed the desired line, and reduced tabs from 17 to 12.
Also, what do you think about the stars around PDCMagic.com? Should I leave them there or remove them?

Looks great! Definitely much improved, I could easily see this being hung up.

Because no one hates PDC quite as much as PDC regulars.

It might work/look better sans Comic Sans and with non-color art in order to make copying easier.
