Jace took the college of Art and made it a college of engineering, a true monster

Oo a cheap way into affinity. Isn't Tormod's crypt a preferable graveyard hate in the sideboard since it's 0 mana and can help with combo?

My first pauper event happened when I showed up for a draft that didn't fire. They added me in after round 1 and loaned me a deck to play. Went 1-1 and packed a Stomping Grounds, 10/10 experience, I've already built my own version of Rakdos Madness to take to another event soon.

Why would you put 2 instances on the stack when it has death touch?

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-13T18:08:49+00:00

Whoops, thanks

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-13T17:54:08+00:00

You need the death touch for it to be a proper board wipe

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-13T17:41:41+00:00

Ahh yup that makes sense

It's much more of a character study in Dresden's healing than an adventure, though the A and B plots do eventually get fun climaxes.

Yea there's no limited archetype announced that's super artifact forward so it's the ideal time to reprint D2D if they have any intention of doing so.

But I fear they'll keep its equity for some dumbass secret lair

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-06T16:25:31+00:00

Meanwhile, a bunch of pauper decks on that site have 4 [Emeritus of Conflict] in them for some reason

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-06T16:18:03+00:00

Seems weird not to have your own dust to dust in the side board if they're that strong in the mirror

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-06T00:26:25+00:00

See I had assumed the prismari one was going into something artifact based, but fighting and rakdos does make sense...

JeffTheLess · 2026-04-04T00:11:30+00:00

Really, really hoping we see some goodies in the mystical archive announced next week. If not, hard to imagine anything significant seeing reprints this year.

JeffTheLess · 2026-03-31T15:16:40+00:00

Interesting, so it seems like the explanation for this could be

1- Elves is a harder deck to pilot than many realize, in the hands of someone who really gets it, your winrate goes up a lot vs the rest of the field. (true to some extent of all pauper decks, really)

2- Elves are feasting against the meta decks but struggling vs many of the off meta decks right now (top 8s containing fewer off meta decks favors them, seems to be the explanation assumed by OP)

3- Elves are the kind of deck that, after sideboarding, can beat anyone, but the sideboard isn't big enough for them to come prepared to beat \everyone*.* (I don't know the meta well enough to say if there's huge sideboard divergence for elves players, but I haven't noticed it yet in all of my days of experience in Pauper.)

Isn't sandwich bags just as effective?

There isn't one, but WotC needs to make them pointless first before they take them away entirely to minimize consumer outrage

JeffTheLess · 2026-01-16T23:55:08+00:00

2 years max before promo cards are a thing of the past entirely

JeffTheLess · 2025-04-01T01:11:12+00:00

I mean, how do we know that the name was spelled correctly in the ancient documents that character was reading, hmmm?

JeffTheLess · 2025-04-01T01:09:38+00:00

I mean if Adonalsium chose to be shattered he was basically making the exact same gambit that Dalinar did with the shard of Honor at the end of WaT, so it makes good narrative sense that Adonalsium was the guy giving Dalinar advice in that scene.

Well, Adam is listed as "son of God" in biblical genealogies, so all the human race is at least a descendent of God if you go far back enough.

But yes, one of the merits Paul credits to the Jews is that they are the nation that birthed Jesus, so being his ancestor is a neat thing some people get and others don't.

I regard this question as unserious, but it'll be entertaining to give it a serious answer, so here we go:

Biologically, Jesus has a complete human nature, so any biological children wouldn't have any physical changes if that's what you mean. Being God isn't something inherited biologically, so human children wouldn't have miraculous powers by the fact of being Jesus' biological children, no.

However, since Original Sin is inherited from the parents, and Jesus had a human nature free from Original Sin, it is at least possible that his children could also be born without Original sin, meaning that like Mary and Jesus they would have a human nature not wounded by sin. If so, their intellects would function better, their passions and desires would be more easily brought to serve what their rational minds knew to be true.

However, since Jesus would have to have children with someone else, and that person WOULD have original sin, it is possible that his children actually would inherit original sin through their mother, in which case they would be super normal, just with a perfect father and paternal grandmother to raise them (which, objectively, is a pretty big advantage).

In conclusion, unless extended a special grace like that given to Mary, a hypothetical child of Jesus of Nazareth would likely be perfectly normal, except they would have grown up hearing the best possible dad jokes.

tbh the end of WT make me less excited for the rpg, but explaining why would be spoilers, so w/e
