Why is Slivers making a comeback?
Why do people still use Bogles?
Why do people use Burn decks when it's matchups can be unwinnable?
Did you know that MBC players like sniffing paint?
>>
>Why is Slivers making a comeback?
Decks that handle it well aren't significant in the current meta.
>Why do people still use Bogles?
No, but we still act like it's relevant.
>Why do people use Burn decks when it's matchups can be unwinnable?
Same reason people use burn decks in any format.
>Did you know that MBC players like sniffing paint?
Wait. / like sniffing paint. Was I a MBC player this whole time without realizing?

It would really help if you just used a cool staple or a promising new common as the OP image. This one doesn't really stand out in the catalog.

Would this have any potential at all?

I think it's really good, it's a grisly savage/commune with the gods that you can play on curve, save it for later, and activate delirium although there are no good commons with that yet

Yes, putting a different MTG card would be genius, no one that makes MTG threads ever does that. Good thinkin' ya fuggin' doofus.

That card is garbage, BTW.

>>
>>46238205
Eh, I don't get it. Does the draft really have to be that weak, full of useless commons? There are two or three that are good enough to see constructed play or to be barely useful in pauper. Some years ago we had Rancor in a core set.
This set feels more and more like Kamigawa with a side of good Red cards and vampires, which is great for flavor, bad for everything else

I honestly don't understand what Wizards is doing. Commons should be simple, not plain bad. High powered drafts ar fun as long as they don't screw up the balance. Would it have killed limited if they did something, ANYTHING different with these new lands? Like giving them Madness, Delerium, Investigate or even something as simple as basic land types?
>>
>>46238483
They're uncommons, what did you expect? I'm surprised they gave us a complete cycle of the lands that enter tapped and gain 1 life at common, it's like they heard Pauper's pleas.

Fetchlands should have been printed at Uncommon and Wizards only printed them at rare to make money btw

Commune the Gods can find it
Auramancer can return it

it sits on board until you want to pop it
can grab you a TE, creature or land. More perm types than Satyr Wayfinder that.

I'd definitely try it out at least

Will this be a pauper goyf-like in tormented? You could play the artifact lands to help with the delirium count, probably tweak it some more.

if you can get a pretty reliable 3/4, then it sounds pretty fucking good.

>>46238536
>Fetchlands should have been printed at Uncommon and Wizards only printed them at rare to make money
Is this not common knowledge? The staples should almost exclusively be (un)commons from a gameplay PoV. But from a business PoV, they should exclusively be rares and mythics. Guess which one WotC prefers.

What's the latest Tortured Existence deck out there? I think it's going to become a little bit better with the new SoI spoiler.

So, how do I get my local store to organize events? The two arguments I get against it are "there are no players" and "there's no money in it"
There obviously are no players because there are no supported events, though.

You make some MTGO netdexks and go by that card pool and banlist. It's up to you to make it happen.

MTGO pauper should just be called Delver Online

What is the most consistent deck in Pauper that isn't Delver control?

No. 4 mana isn't worth +1/+1 until end of turn.
And it will die to sorcery speed removal before being relevant.
Strength to Arms might see play, but I doubt it.
>>46242326
Underrated post.
>>46243918
Nothing in particular. I think I saw a discard themed Mono Black Aggro deck once?
MonoBlack Control isn't quite what you're looking for, but it's the closest deck that's relevant in Pauper's meta.
Though the card pool has enough good discard to just make a discard deck.
>>>46244243
Mono-Green Stompy will have trouble getting Delirium up, and other green decks want more than a 3/4 for 2.
I expect Tortured to run the shit out of Sanitarium Skeleton. Best card in the set.
>>46246034
Mono-Black? No. Teachings doesn't care about it either.
It might be good enough for Dredge or Tortured, I expect people will try it.
>>46252533
Not sure, probably Kitty or Affinity?
>>
>>46259762
Does sanitarium skeleton help tormented with card advantage? Im not too familiar with the deck.

So I'm building affinity and I was wondering what cards I should use. Here is what I already have. I have 12 card slots left. I was thinking of adding some Darksteel Citadels and Somber Hoverguard but I don't really know what's best.

4 Carapace Forger
4 Atog
4 Frogmite
4 Myr Enforcer

4 Chromatic Star
4 Springleaf Drum
4 Galvanic Blast
4 Thoughtcast

4 Ancient Den
4 Great Furnace
4 Seat of the Synod
4 Tree of Tales

How do people afford regular magic? They look so poor and usually don't have good jobs, why and how do people afford standard (which is what most people play)?

Do more reasonable people play pauper or is it just another format for Standard players?

I find Pauper fun as it lets those who don't go balls-deep on expensive cards still compete.
>>
I can't figure out what's more consistent, Slivers or Burn for tournaments.

Is it just me or have the pauper decks on MTGO gotten pretty expensive?
>>
>>46265594
You won't ever figure it out. These threads are sad and pathetic. If you want 5 times the fun and a huge community, switch to a budget Standard deck. I know you think you have to have top of the line decks, but it's rare for local players to have maxed everything, same for most of online players.

Pauper is a waste for beginners and vets alike. Let the thread die and head on over, we'll save a seat for ya.
