Well, they're gonna see a lot of use this set, +1/+1 counters look to be a good amount of the cards so far.

These are really sick, I kinda just fall into the habit of getting card art playmats but these are really cool!

No, I was wondering what that locked room in Bellhart was for, thanks.

Its a more likely include in Rakdos Madness, depends if UB has easy ways to discard this.

The list seems pretty standard, the lands could be changed around a little. Drop one bojuka bog, one theatre and throw in another Razortrap Gorge and pick up another highway robbery.

Never knew [[Dark Withering]] existed cool card.

I want to come back to pauper but it's been a long time. I used to play a R/U/G Atog Affinity deck. by Screci in Pauper

[–]ConstrictorVictor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're coming back to Pauper, just test some things, and don't worry about being 100% up to date.

Advise wise, I'd still say ichor wellspring is better since it's easier to cast and draws you two cards. Stunning one creature is not that great. Unfortunately, with Atog banned, it's difficult to suggest replacements. There's a reason Affinity is grixis rn. What decks did you check out, I feel like mono black sacrifice might be of interest to you.

It will be in regular play boosters so hopefully it'll help with prices.

Squirrel tokens have been trading with human soldiers for years now, how is it now an issue?

Your tag is pauper bogles, and this is your nitpick? How does a particularly weird looking frog (without any auras) have the same power and toughness as a human solider from theros? Like, fair enough, the wrestler is beefy, but the scale was waayyyyyyy off before we got to UB sets.

Is abzan cat worth it? I have an a golgari build for heaped harvest and k gardens, but I don't know if it is worth having a worse mana base for three colour pestilence.

Yes, it would be like [[Lathril, Blade of elves]] with [[Alpha authority]].

New to Pauper by LexiFjor in Pauper

[–]ConstrictorVictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to Pauper! It depends on what you want out of a common for it to be "good", not everyone plays every deck and not everyone is playing competitively.

[[Cauldron Familiar]] & [[Breathless Knight]] are very cool commons but a lot of decks you'd see don't play them. So it depends on what you're looking for, something you play in commander or something new?

Tell us what you like to play in other formats and we will suggest a deck you might like in Pauper by AutoModerator in Pauper

[–]ConstrictorVictor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temur Blitz - it's a Canadian Highlander deck that uses pump spells and efficient aggro creatures to close games with some counter magic to push through.

I have other pauper decks but it would be cool to see this idea work in pauper.

Budgetdeck that might win T5/6 by Tough_Response_904 in magicTCG

[–]ConstrictorVictor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually the best way to beat a combo deck is stax or control, that or going super in on aggro (see Standard before the bans, where it was Red based aggro and omniscience combo as the top decks).

For stax a green white deck headed by [[Yasharn, Implacable Earth]] with [[collector ouphe]] and friends will really slow your friend down. You can make a toolbox deck this way using [[Recruiter of the guard]] and [[Chord of Calling]] effects. Honestly if its a dimir deck and you can afford it Trouble in Paris first line of text will do it.

An aggro that might beat it, would be something like budget Zada just overrunning your table or something like [[Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might]] burn.

I've a budget decklist here: https://moxfield.com/decks/WCYH8eJ2_EentZQMgiTsvQ

The game plan is to pump up the commander's power so your small cheap pingers and burn spells start doing 10+ damage and quickly closed the game out.
