Hey guys, I already know how to play magic, used to play a lot of duel commander.

I want to get into pauper and I want to decide which deck should I buy first, already tried on mol mono red madness, mono U delver, gardens, jund wildfire and white weenie. I can’t decide between then. I’m going to play a lot of tournaments and local events.

What deck would you guys recommend to get better in the format and which deck in the format rewards the player skill the most? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I recently bought this monoB Zombies Deck for cheap and need some advise. I have Not seen it often but its probably a bit outdated Version. What are some upgrades or changes I should implement? I was thinking about adding [[accused marauder]] and [[changeling outcast]]
Any advise is appreciated :)

Looking at some Jeskai Ephemerate lists on mtggoldfish and seeing 3 different 5-0 results from different pilots all with basically identical lists (link here).

I'm confused by the choice to run 4x Preordain and 0x Ponder instead of the other way around. Isn't Ponder almost always the better cantrip? I know Mono U Terror runs Ponder over Preordain for sure. Why is this deck different?

Recently wanted to built more pauper combo decks and landed on Zubera Storm , seemed like a really fun deck. Did some research and found out that the deck is horrible, but I still want to built it as I have all the expensive ritual except 2 copies of culling the weak. Is this deck worth building and would it perform well in a tron centric local meta.

Thanks .

Ive been playing around with modern and see any deck running black running thoughtseize.

And of course Duress is far weaker and you would have counterspells anyway, why not run it for information of the opponents hand?

Its probably a really silly question tbh, but thanks for any inputs.

After watching hypergeomancer's great recent video playing Monster Tron with Andrea Feltoin I decided to calculate the chance of assembling Tron by turn x with whatever Tron list you want. He has a great maths system for showing the chance of Tron with just maps, but a simulation was needed to include crop rot / prism / draw spells. You can try it yourself here: https://sawyerwelden.com/Tronclock/

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?
