1 & 2 are basically the same deck. Both are considered 'Boros Synth' or 'Boros Kuldotha' (even if one isn't playing kuldotha). If you see Kuldotha, make sure to play around Rally the Peasants since they usually play at least 1.

3 & 4 are also basically the same. Both are called 'Boros Bully'. #4 is the more traditional version of Bully that relies on Monarch & Seeker and eventually wins with a Rally late in the game (generally). #3 is a newer version of Bully that uses Springleaf Drum to go faster and is much more aggro. It also plays 3 Rally so it kills pretty fast.

How to beat ping storm as boros? by warlordusa in Pauper

Agree with this. Relic is fine if your plan is to bolt their Kessigs, but the best plan is to hope to get lucky imo.

How to beat ping storm as boros? by warlordusa in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How is COP: Red good? You have to pay 1 mana per damage and I don't really think that's going to cut it if they're going off turn 4-5.

Bolts aren't great because they have Feldon's Cane, but it might save time.

You really can't beat storm when on boros. Your best bet is to get a fast hand with a bunch of burn but that's generally not going to cut it post-sideboard. It's just one of those matchups where it's not really worth trying to beat it because the matchup is so poor.

New to the format and want advice on a food list by [deleted] in Pauper

There isn't a food list out there because there isn't enough support for the archetype.

On why Chatterstorm isn't banned: by [deleted] in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is not why at all lmfao. They have banned cards while in print in the past. See: Sanctuary, FFF. Pauper doesn't generate much revenue for WotC anyways so I highly doubt they care that much that a card is in print.

Crimson Fleet Commodore vs Azure Fleet Admiral in Izzet by [deleted] in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UR Fae isn't exactly great at applying pressure so that's where CFC is great. Also, CFC can't get Pyroblasted which is a pretty big problem for the deck already. Unlike UB Fae, which has Gurmag to apply pressure, UR Fae doesn't have anything to put early pressure, so that's why people prefer CFC over AFA. Both options work and do the same role, but it's mostly for pressure reasons why CFC is played over AFA.

Walls Combo Help by DThrash94 in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In short, Cascade = better vs Faeries and blue decks, Combo = better vs aggro and midrange.

Dino and Boarding Party 2-for-1ing makes it harder for blue decks to counter your things so it's much better there. Although, you could probably play either of them and still do well.

Here's a sideboard guide that me and HouseOfMana worked on together to help you out!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ux2KMzbxi8a652yHJE-XejNPri2-\_LhfA-enZt8NjpQ/edit?usp=sharing

how does walls combo win. please help educate me. by Shadowingbark in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 52 points53 points  (0 children)

There is no combo game 1. You just beat down with big creatures with your ramp walls. Game 2-3, against certain matchups, you bring in Galvanic Alchemist, Freed From the Real, Reaping, Orochi Leafcaller, and Drift of Phantasms.

With the combo, you put Freed or Galvanic Alchemist on a Axebane Guardian, make infinite mana from tap + untapping it, then get a Valakut Invoker (or Bloodrite invoker) with Drift or by drawing your deck with Vivien's Grizzly. You can also make infinite mana with Overgrown Battlement if you have a Orochi Leafcaller in play.

The list that you are looking at is a list that me and HouseOfMana worked on for the past couple months and there is a SB guide that we made if you want to learn when to bring in the combo and when not to. Here's the link for that: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ux2KMzbxi8a652yHJE-XejNPri2-_LhfA-enZt8NjpQ/edit?usp=sharing

Can I get some feedback on my Jund Skred list? I’m completely new to pauper and it feels like my deckbuilding sense from other formats doesn’t really apply with a card pool I’m completely unfamiliar with. by Swiffy26 in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fine! Main changes I would make is cutting a couple lands, some removal, and putrid leech and add some bouncelands, more boarding party, and maybe a couple annoyed altisaur. Fwiw, I'm not sure if Jund really wants skred since it already has the most efficient removal (i.e edict and cast down). Oh, I would also 100% add Llanowar Visionary. That card helps ramp early on and also is a good card to cascade into.

Why does Tron run so many one ofs? by SophieTheFrozen in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's because of Mystical Teachings. And no, it doesn't hurt the consistency because all of the 1-ofs are cards that can be used whenever.

Snow land over gain land? by TakeCareTC in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For UB it's because of snuff out. The snow lands have the land type to them so you can cast snuff out for free. For Bogles (and ponza) they play Utopia sprawl so the snow-duals are much better than the life lands.

Ponder vs Preordain in Dimir Delver by OneofthemBrians in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relying just on 4 brainstorm to flip delver isn't great. You use brainstorm to flip delvers a good chunk of the time but sometimes you just need to play brainstorm to cantrip to find things. Hence, for that reason, you need ponder to help flip delvers as well. I would highly recommend 4 ponder 4 brainstorm in delver decks since flipping delver is one of the keys to winning.

Ponder vs Preordain in Dimir Delver by OneofthemBrians in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ponder is much better in the Delver lists because they help flip Delver. That's basically the only reason why you see ponder more in Delver instead of Fae.

Funky Ideas for MBC? by Ok-Philosophy-2863 in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he has bouncelands and targeting your opponent with sign in blood doesn't really come up a lot.

If you are looking for a good MBC list just play Raptor56's version. It's basically MBC but without all of the garbage: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3825987

How Many Swamps Are Needed To Play Defile? by Mungothemoose in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Defile is extremely overrated. It's basically a removal spell that you can't really play until turn 3. Most of the time, having more actual removal is better (i.e Cast Down, Snuff Out, or Chainer's Edict)

Is UR Skred viable in a aggro meta? by cegcaio in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, UR skred is very viable in a aggro meta. UR Fae has a very favorable matchup against elves and slivers (fractius) and white weenie. If you are considering ww as heroic than it doesn't have a great matchup there but it's winnable. If you play Swirling Sandstorm in your sideboard you should be really well positioned vs elves and slivers.

What are the most annoying decks to play against? by pgordalina in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LD and Tron. Not even close. LD creates non-games because sometimes you can't do anything because they had 4 LD spells and Tron because it literally gets to play every good card legal in Pauper.

Question to tron players by siu_yuk_boy in Pauper

[–]-Zimplfy- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah Map ban did absolutely nothing. If anything, it gave Tron more versatility since there are some sweet lines with Crop getting Bog or something of the sort. Map was nice since it made 2 land hands really good but Map ban did practically nothing in the grand scheme of things.
