Oh, so if the card is printed at common or uncommon in modern masters, it becomes pauper legal?

Cool.

>>51978894
It costs mana to sac, so it's unplayable. The card is in the set only to get extra value out of unearthed creatures.

Oops, thought I was in the edh thread for some reason.

Go ahead and mock me and all commander players for my stupidity, they deserve it.

>>51978946
No, it's that Modern Masters is printing old uncommons at common. Being printed at common once ever in any set makes it pauper legal.

So, now that we have Burning- Tree, I'm thinking about making a pauper equivalent of legacy Oops.

Im,also thinking that this is a bad idea, but imma do it anyway. Any thoughts or ideas?

So, it seems like a pauper scene is coming into existence at my lgs, and since it's a non-rotating format, worst case scenario is I make a deck, everyone loses interest, and I just have a perfectly valid deck for whatever future point pauper might rear its head again.

I have a gimicky, colorless EDH deck. I have a gimicky, colorless modern deck. Aside from step one being urzatron + expedition maps, what are some gimicky, colorless cards you guys would suggest?

You are probably right. I was thinking that being able to hit a little higher than 2 damage could probably be huge, but getting to play it earlier is probably more important.

Reporting back. Went 2-1.

Game 1 afainst Kuldotha Boros was grindy af but I drew all my AKs and beat him. Game 2 I resolved a gorilla shaman and ate 5 lands and later brought it back with Haunted Fengraf to eat 2 more.

Matche 2 against stompy I kept drawing counters rather than bolts and couldnt deal with the board. Game 2 I kept a hand with 2 bolts 1 counter and 4 lands and kept dtawing lands and counters. I countered everything but I couldnt de al with a 3/1 quirion.

Match 3 against RDW. Game 1 i had a god hand and he couldnt do shit. Game 3 I stabilizef at 2 life and a molten rain finished me. Game 3 my SGO kept te fort alive while I amassed CA.

Defnitely want more removal on the side. Thinking about 1 or 2 pillars of flame to deal with young wolfies

Ur a faget who likes new things. I'm building a similar list but mono u with 0-1 drop artifacts holding the line until myr enforcer, gearseeker serpent and bastion inventor come down, pick up the gear and start bashing. Also trinket mage cause that card is excellent. Tried a W version with cheap equipment and the white 1-2 drops that get +1/+1 and a keyword when equipped, but that felt like too many hoops to jump through for a mediocre payoff.
>>
>>52005174
Hot damn. Are there any others like that?

>>52005256
Since I've never played pauper before, I have to ask, is going tall not going to work?
>>
>>52005669
The removal in pauper is generally speaking better than the threats. Going tall without protection is asking for a blowout, but being able to power them out quickly is still good, and bastion inventor is hard to answer. The deck runs metallic rebuke and thoughtcast, so it has some longevity and disruption.
>>
>>52005128
At least you are playing Ulamog's Crusher, the biggest baddest creature in the format. I approve of that silly deck. Pauper decks should always be a little silly.

Anyone else playing a variant of this? As you can see from this list I'm still pretty undecided, I've been running a split of Satyr Wayfinder, Tilling Treefolk, and Krosan Tusker to see which one's I end up wanting most of the time for hitting my land drops. So far I like Krosan Tusker the best, but I'm not sure.

Also I have no idea what I'm doing with my sideboard, but getting Thoughtpicker Witch plus Mesmeric Fiend going against a grindy control deck is a joy that every person should experience.

If you have any cards to suggest I'd love to hear it. I learn about some new tech just about every time I bring this deck up.

Pauper Slivers falls under the same category of Modern Merrfolk. It's an archetype I like to call "Twelve Lords" for obvious reasons. You are of course welcome to try 3-4 colour sliver decks but unfortunately the most consistent and competitive versions are just Selesnya Twelve Lords.

It folds horribly to any deck with Evincar's Justice, particularly UB Control of any sort. Don't let that detract you from playing it though, it's a solid strategy.

Slowly picking up the pieces for this in paper in foil obviously since the LGS here has pauper once a month.

>>52010143
any combination 2 lords/plated sliver puts them out of Justice range. It's not that bad a card to play against.

Is pauper solved, or are brews possible?

>>52011791
Brews are possible. But they need to be able to survive disruption.

Is counterspell just better or is it possible for familiar's ruse to be just as good to enable ninjitsu shenanigans. I made a similar deck, but used the ruse and ornithopter to keep deploying ninjas.

Pauper noob here - what's a good pauper deck that won't break the bank with creature pumping and good removal?

A tier 1 pauper deck is around 50 bucks. I have 7. Because reasons.

(let me preface this by saying I checked both LGS websites, and neither had pauper listed)
>call LGS asking if they host MTG pauper
>guy is a little surprised, mentions I'm the first one to ask, says they only do modern and sealed(iirc)
>but also tells me of a larger LGS that has a bigger MTG base and may have what I'm looking for
>gives me their name and I thank him
>call up that store and they have pretty much everything, -except- pauper
>says they don't have a large enough base


Damn, I just wanted to get into MTG cheaply yet still have a good deck... I'm in Tx btw, is there anywhere pauper is actually played with paper?

The former. Counterspell has zero drawbacks or additional costs.

Familiar is also... you know.
Uncommon.

I immensely fucked up today.

>be me
>go to pauper tournament with rug delver deck (Big mistake)
>go 0-2 round 1 by getting manafucked (18 lands in pauper = nono)
>game 2 I get deckchecked and my decklist is off (I wrote down lightning bolt twice)
>lose to UG infect again
>give up

That was my first "competitive" experience too. I guess I gotta go back to the drawing board with my deck and look at it one more time.

Things I noticed from my deck:
1. More lands holy shit why did I think 18 was a good idea
2. My deck needs a little more than 12 threats
3. 3 colors? Am I an idiot? I should've only splashed just enough for lightning bolt goddammit
4. I need to improve my deckbuilding skills by a lot
>>
>>52017303
>Go 3 fucking color
>In delver
>In pauper
are you literally retarded?
Don't answer.

>>52017391
I'll answer anyway

Yes I'm retarded.
>>
>>52017404
Alright, memes aside.
UR>Ug single card spalshes in pauper don't work. UNLESS You're UB Teachings and your meta is filled with fucking burn, then you splash W and kill yourself because you have an IQ under 40 for not switching decks.


UR DelverControl is poised up to be very fucking strong, specially with the new toys it has, namely motherfucking magma (thunderous wrath is also ok) and burn as creature removal is pauper is also, very fucking strong.
>>
>>52017404
At least you know the correct answer.

>>52006290
I'm on UB tortex.
I just like being able to play muldrifter, careful study, and cephalid sage.
Out of the board I get Archaomancer, Recoil, and some countermagic.

Have people been able to find the "correct" build of tortured existence?

>>52012170
nice swamps anon

Who /cardkingdom/ here?

Also, is Delver Fiend vs UB control as unwinnable as I think?
>>
>>52017469
>Teachings
>Bad against burn
???
You have gainlands and bounceable Radiant Fountains and Crypt Incursion and Pristine Talisman. Their creatures die the turn they come down and you have plenty of mainboard counters. Pre-board their Searing Blazes are unplayable and they have no answer to Pristine Talisman. Post-board you get more counters and Hydroblast, plus more win conditions in place of removal to end the game faster.

Occasionally they draw well enough that you just can't beat them, but I never dreaded burn when I played Teachings.

>teachings
>Not getting it's head bashed in vs burn

It was an impossible match up way back, although now that yo usay it that might have been before radiants.

I don't know this deck. Can you post your list?

Orcish Lumberjack with Lifecraft Cavalry as one of the big payoff cards y/n

Why not? What else goes in this deck? Chucking out some vague ideas for land/graveyard recursion synergy in GR- Harrow, Crop Rotation, Tilling Treefolk, Pulse of Murasa, Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds, Hooting Mandrills, the cycle lands and panoramas, Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion- plenty of ways to nickle and dime value, but how does it actually win games?

There's also a possibility of mutual land destruction via Raze and Tremble, or adding in landfall creatures that have synergies with some of the above cards.
