A Cause For Concern... - Pauper: Gruul Madness Vs Mono Black Devotion - Paper Gameplay

[hikorzik]

Pauper update :

Currently testing several variations of lists I own ! I’m doing right now

- UW Familiar. Testing the good ratio between Sea Gates Oracles, The Modern Age, Mulldrifters, Meeting of Minds, Deep Analysis, if I should play a prosperous pirates... At the moment I’m doing 2x Ephemerate, 2x Flicker, 2x TMA, 4x SGA, 3x Mull, 3x MOM, 1x Deep Analysis, and Sage’s Row Denizen but I might change things a bit depending on how it feels !!

- Infect. Here I have SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. First of all yes I am bringing the Phyrexian Midway Bamboozle and *you know it* ! But. Do I play simic or mono green ? Do I bring 2x, 3x, or 4x finishing moves ? On the one hand, simic brings unblockable creatures and the possibility of experimental augury which lets me proliferate and cantrip a potentially good card. On the other hand, mono green is much more focused and doesn’t risk playing tapped lands and having cards I can’t play (in simic I go 2x island, 4x thornwood falls, 12x forest). Much testing to do... I have also bought vitality charms and pulses of murasa on the internet but they’re coming from barcelona and I doubt I’ll be getting them before my local which is on tuesday lol. Well too bad but I’ll make do!

If you want tell me what you think about it! In particular about the right ratio of finishing moves... I feel like 2 sounds like too few to really see them but 4 is too many since it costs THREE and I only run 17-18 lands ? I’ll have to try it out I guess !

Magic the Gathering players: are you tired of free spells ruining your favorite format? Tired of having to shell out hundreds of dollars for a competitive mana base? I have good news! Pauper is the format for you!

Pros

There are no chase rares or Planeswalkers

All the dual lands are 50¢ taplands

The only free spells are Vanilla 4/4s, bad removal spells, and basic convoke spells

It’s basically impossible to get turn 1’d

No companions!

Every archetype is possible except 5-color good stuff

Cons

Not a lot of places have an active paper Pauper scene (but you can change that)

so here's the thing

i'm getting into pauper

specifically a regular tourney a buddy of mine runs

i meticulously built a deck and lost, so i slapped together a deck from draft chaff and modern decks i haven't played in years or ever and did okay

i gotta tune it up, but i kinda wanna get some ideas before i talk to my Guy about it

so... thoughts?

Played my first real pauper tournament today

Force spike instantly my favorite card

Eater of 1000 hopes and dreams

and they were delicious

Went down to the LGS today, spent some store cred I got from hawking my Nazgul to start my Grixis Affinity build for Pauper. Somebody gotta keep those filthy Ponza players in check :3

I'm at 19/60 for the main deck- I have another Spellbomb but I wanna get one that's less gross looking. Trying to see how much I can get together before MH3 drops so I can run the Cranial Rams until they get banned lmao

Connecting with the magic the gathering community here is going to be tough. While I miss my audience on Twitter, this will be a healthy change. If you like magic the gathering, I'd love to be moots!

pray do tell us about the pedh deck! i’ve been wanting to get into that format for a bit

I was going off of what I had on hand, so after a quick browse, I went with This Chad as my commander (I owned him but have never used him in anything, forgot he existed, and only remembered after combing through my uncommons)

More details below the cut.

Threw some cheap slivers in there, a bunch of 1/1 creatures (the only creatures that didn't come in with those counters were Ainok Bond-Kin to give everything else first strike, and Selesnya Evangel to make more guys. Made sure to include a bunch of evasive 1/1's LIKE

Then I threw in some guys that are just a nightmare to fight

Mana dorks were in there as well, a bunch of them. Some utility creatures as well. To keep me competitive with life total, I threw a bunch of fog effects, as well as these two to give me steady life gain.

The rest of the deck was fog effects, defensive spells, stuff that throws other creatures into play, and proliferate effects.

The standout spell of the match that had two people taking notes was this though.

Enchantment board wipe-ish that's pauper legal and costs 2 at instant speed.

A brief interlude to talk about Oathbreaker! I chose to go the route of poison in order to speed games along even if it means being a soft archenemy. Also fits the name of the format, as Ajani broke his oath. Have you tried this format with your playgroup/LGS?

Who's Banned?! - Pre Atog Ban - Pauper Match: Dimir Delver Vs Affinatog - Paper Gameplay

[hikorzik]

On my bullshit again (made a bogles deck, played it exactly once, enjoyed it a lot, and now I want to make a familiars or mono U faeries one because I don't have a blue deck yet...)

Why do these things cost money 😩😩😩

[plainramennoodles]

pauper is the format of the proletariat

"sure, i can run pridemalkin in my pauper deck, but who's gonna expect tuskguard captain?"

Lightning Bolt Based on the original Alpha artwork by Christopher Rush

I love playing red, I love aggro, and I love bolting face. Definitely the only card in the Boon Cycle that I actually play regularly.
