When I can

>>50784925
Oh hey, UB tortured Existence reporting in.
I also have UW tron sleeved up to make people really hate me.

>>50783449
>4C (Jeskai Core) Tron
I'm not familair with those colors of tron. Is it like Rhystic Tron? Please share a list.

>>50783449
>Playan:
UB Delver, fitted to my control heavy LGS with more counters than removal (4 counterspells, 4 deprives and a manaleak, plus SB hate).
Deprive+Mortuary Mire+Mulldrifter makes the deck a beast in the late game.
The creatureless Teachings matchup is now unloseable (before that it was pretty hard). However, now goblins and stompy are getting free wins from me...

>Coolest:
Petal Festival, no doubt.

>Pauper IRL
Fuck yeah! We even do Pauper FNM!

>>50783449
>playing
UB Teachings
Only bad matchup is burn, damn curse...

This was the deck that won me last FNM. The teachings replaced an extra removal, but worked pretty well.

Best feeling was teachings for echoing truth at my opps EOT, target all the Journeys To Nowhere and getting back 2 mulldrifters and a Delver against Jeskai.

Ash Barrens forced a few mulligans, but the card is SO good that I still feel its better than E Wilds.

Building dredge. Might try to get my playggroup into pauper. Though we do like our uncommons and rares. Fuck mythics

>>50787931
How good is Perplex? Seems awkward as a counter and pretty limited as a tutor.

>>50788212
Is a good counter early game, and tutor my WinCon, curse of the bloody tome, as well as pristine talisman and crypt incursion
So pretty good =D

>>50787714

Currently playing 3 mono decks.

Mono B hyper reanimator/dredge
Mono R kiln fiend wins
AND probably the best deck in pauper (even though clouds got banned)
Mono U delver.
Pauper rules!
(Also play alot of legacy maybe that's why I love the format so much)

Is there any way to make bogles not super bad?

>>50791779
Get Wizards to print another card on Daybreak's power level but as a common.

This is what I'm playing right now. Since every deck runs some sort of creature removal and/or creature only counter spells I figured going straight no creatures is a good solution.

>>50792116
Are you sure that's the problem?
At first I thought the number of edicts was the problem, but MBC is basically gone and Bogles is still terrible. Now I'm convinced the problem is the mana base, which people attempt to fix with Manamorphose and Utopia Sprawl, which are weird do nothing cards and force you to play a lot of forests which makes the mana base even worse.

I found I preferred a creature-heavy build instead.

Outside of Pauper I played a mostly creatureless build of MBC.

>>50792880
I really like the idea of making X amount of cards from opponent's deck useless though

>>50786362

>>50792846
Looks really cool. Does it work?

>>50793504
from my experience it lacked unmakes to work in current meta - too many anglers for victim

>>50793504
From what I remember, yes. Didn't play many games with it though.

RUG Tron, Izzet Blitz and Burn.

Tron works wonders vs Monoblack and Delver variants:the meta if they don't have the nuts (delver on the play flips t2 into Daze into about a million counterspells). The games vs Teachings are grindy af but I feel Tron's slightly favored since it can start pressuring hard every turn after t3 and can remove Curse of the Bloody Tome in sb games, Firebolts and Rolling Thunders can go face and Fangren Marauders and Crushers can be recurrred with the Fengraf.

Pauper has no "cool" decks like Amulet Bloom or The Epic Storm, but the games are still pretty fun and mostly interesting, quite different from the current bs of haha you're dead on turn 3 didn't draw sideboard that's Modern post-Twin ban.

Very rarely IRL.

>>50793766
>modern babby has shit taste

quelle surprise.

>>50792602
What list are you running? While I've had consistency issues with bogles, I've never had an issue with the mana.

>>50794435
1 Aura Gnarlid
4 Gladecover Scout
2 Heliod's Pilgrim
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
4 Slippery Bogle
2 Manamorphose
4 Abundant Growth
3 Ancestral Mask
4 Armadillo Cloak
4 Ethereal Armor
1 Hyena Umbra
4 Rancor
2 Spider Umbra
4 Utopia Sprawl
2 Blossoming Sands
13 Forest
1 Khalni Garden
1 Plains

>>50794049
>le correct opinions xd
Kill yourself.

>>50792827
that looks amusing.

>>50795899
Even if it is pauper I don't think I could ever play an aggro deck with 8+ ETB tapped lands

>>50790334
You mainboard a ton of removal. Burn runs few creatures.
Your removal isn't all trash, but most of it is dead draws.

>>50787714
Mainboard one or two Pristine Talisman(s).
You can tutor one with your singleton Perplex.
If you're *really* desperate, you can Teachings for Perplex.

Sideboard extra >>50790334 crap.
Bottle Gnomes are also a decent sideboard.

I want to get into pauper, but I can't decide on mono blue or ub delver. I have friends that play splinter twin combo and infect and tron.

>What deck are you playing?

Mono W Control
Playing mostly on Xmage. Good results so far. Defeating Tron and Affinity is child's play.

>Do you play pauper IRL?
Once I order this baby online.

>In other news
Why does no one use Eldrazi Devastator? Pauper games tend to last long and that 2 anihilator has never been a problem to me (however, I am new to this format).

Building mono g stompy, how shit am I?

>>50799694
>What deck are you playing?

Paper Izzet blitz

Because against the aggro/combo decks like Izzet Blitz, annihilator 2 on a large body basically reads you lose if you can't kill them on your turn.

>>50799694
I use Eldrazi Devastator, Kozilek's Pathfinder and Ulamog's Crusher in my Tron Pauper. I like eldrazi and I only play casually.

>>50798758
The format is cheap. Why not both?

>>50798758

This is pauper; don't be a meta memer.

I wanna build a gritty green black creepy crawler deck with cards like this bad boy, got any tips ?

>>50796891
Indeed I can use Talisman, but onyl cast it turn 4, against a good burn hand, I am already dead
Post Side he is going to have Pyroblast to keep its Curse alive

>PLAYAN
Burn and stompy are what I bring to competitive, but I have a BG tortured existence and a meme deck involving cycling a bunch of creatures and then playing songs of the damned into consume spirit.
>COOLEST
I love tortured existence. Its so variable and can be different from other lists to make way for your own meta. It's basically a toolbox deck.
>IRL?
I wish

>>50804865

Why.jpg

>>50807466
Because i like art / theme / fun more then winning

>>50801362
>why not both?
I dont know how much of a fad its going to be and I don't want to buy snaps because I'm a jew.
>>50801918
I meant that more as "these options are off the table which is why I'm thinking delver."
