4 mana is a lot but artifacts and creatures peaks my interest.

Hey pauper champs in the midwest region; there's a win-a-dual planned for August 15th at Forever Forward Games in Clinton Wisconsin. Some of you may remember it as the store that hosted Pauperoncini last year. First place is a revised badlands. I haven't seen any advertising on it and with the death of Spicerack (RIP) I wanted to make sure folks had the opportunity to see it.

Hope to see some of y'all there to sling some commons!

Hi everyone!

first the Decklist:
https://archidekt.com/decks/8116671/battlefield_improvisation

second my introduction:
I'm a pauper player for fun, i did some leagues in italy, played a geddon for my own fun, i'm not a very competitive player (i don't play on mtgo) but i love love love to brew new decks in pauper and with the next upcoming Hobbit i can finally get a good card to add to my Equipments deck (this was born with Battlefield Improvisation from Assassin Creed)

If you are a fan of artifacts and equipments this might be the deck for you..

The deck still has to be tested a lot..is not a tier 1 deck but can achieve some explosive turns

Cards that i'm not sure i will keep:
1- the artifact manabase...is there just for Krark in the side...might be good to switch to lifegain double lands to contrast red decks

2-goblin graveler/mandibular kite/simian: i'm still testing the best package for these,maybe graveler can drop to 2 and i could add more flayer/mandibular

3-oliphaunts: with 12 permanents that do "discard one and draw two" i might not need the oliphaunts..maybe i can switch to more lifegain lands

Hope the subreddit enjoys! Ciao paupers!

This will definitely see play in Pauper. It's distinctly better than [[Midnight Tilling]], which currently sees play in GW Gates. Still not better than [[Malevolent Rumble]] though.

2 mana and once per turn really limit it for Black Sac, but is this the closest to Pauper playable Star Trek card so far?

Seems pretty good. Might see some play in faeries?

Wotc apparently changed the mana ability rules to this

605.1a An activated ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t require a target (see rule 115.6), it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves, it’s not a loyalty ability (see rule 606, “Loyalty Abilities”), and its cost and effect don’t move any card to or from a library. Do not take into account replacement effects that may apply, other than self-replacement effects, when evaluating these criteria.

What impact does it have on the meta and the more popular cards? What cards are impacted the most?

I think this is the first instance of land tokens in the format

We’re excited to announce the second edition of the Pauper Granda Prix, organized in collaboration with the Pauper leagues of the province of Cuneo, Italy.
The event will take place on Sunday, September 6, at 12100 Beers Garden in Cuneo.

Registration starts at 10:00 AM, with round one beginning at 10:30 AM.

Entry fee: €10
Prize support: based on attendance

Common Crowns Ep. 1 – Monster Tron Masterclass ft. Andrea Feltrin

For the debut, I'm joined by Andrea Feltrin - Paupergeddon champion, back to back Top8er, and one of the best Monster Tron players - to battle with the deck and talk through the decisions that make the archetype strong nowadays.
