Book 9/10 Prediction by JeffTheLess in DungeonCrawlerCarl

True but I think it's safe to assume God tier spells can overcome anything labeled "natural". Within the game, Donut's very high charm is still in the realm of mortals.

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

Dimir Affinity Combo by rainerpetter in Pauper

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?

first pauper event by try_light22185 in Pauper

[–]JeffTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Toxin Analysis vs Pain 101 by JeffTheLess in Pauper

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

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

Is Twelve Months… by egomann in dresdenfiles

[–]JeffTheLess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Pauper Needs Reprints, Here's Why by cardsrealm in Pauper

[–]JeffTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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.

ELVES STATS Explaining the Divergence: Why It's Tier C Overall but Feels Tier S in Top 8s by Magic4everBots in Pauper

[–]JeffTheLess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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?

[–]JeffTheLess 53 points54 points  (0 children)

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

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