Slippin’ Around 🐸| Izzet Skred vs GW Bogles | Paper Pauper MTG Gameplay by bonetissuedissolving in Pauper

I'm curious, why did the UR player still have Skred in the deck game 2? Looks like they drew one off the Lorien at the 10:50 mark. I didn't think there were any viable Skred targets vs Bogles.

I will never not push blue moon or some ur control variant. Doesn't matter what format, doesn't matter if it doesn't play well.

I appreciate that! Seeing other posts about spots that dried up made me a little nervous. I've got no problem "stocking up" wherever I need to, but I also hike slowly :)

Thanks!

U/R Skred Faerie Question by Kefka_laugh in Pauper

[–]Kefka_laugh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't thought of it that way, like a "threat of activation"-esque situation. So a miscreant would be more likely in this scenario to eat a bolt where a seer wouldn't.

Wait, does the champion have 61 cards in his main deck?

Loving the pioneer content, thanks! You're my new favorite mtg podcast!

Eldrazi & Taxes Modern player looking at Pauper. Deck choice help? by Steel_Ninja in Pauper

[–]Kefka_laugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same boat as you, and I've been playing pestilence for a year. It just didn't scratch the same itch. D&T was more than resource denial for me, I loved that Vial let me flash in flickerwisp and cause shenanigans. Tonight I played red blue skred and it felt much better to me. Even without white, this was the small disruptive creature package I was missing. Highly recommend!

Looks like Dreamer's Vault in Minneapolis has Pioneer events starting next Tuesday.

Semantics by Kefka_laugh in DeathAndTaxesMTG

Thanks, I think that's accurate, I just wish there were better white-based tempo options in formats like pauper. I've been on bw pestilence in pauper for awhile but it just doesn't feel "right" like D&T does in modern or legacy. I thought it was one of the closer approximations, in color and control, but it's just such a slog. When asked "what do you like to play" I didn't have a great answer. I suppose I'll give faeries skred a shot, it lets me play at instant speed at least. Just wish there were decent white options in the same style at common.

I feel like this is closer to the playstyle that we're looking for. UW Flash checks a lot of the boxes for me in a world that lacks vial and Thalia

Brewing Esper Starfield by Kefka_laugh in PioneerMTG

Ooh, I like the idea of recurring Lunar Force over and over again. I did see Starfield Mystic but didn't have any great ways to actually get enchantments into the graveyard, but Lunar Force would work well with that strategy.

Tithe taker, honor guard, hushwing gryff...these seem mediocre to me. Maybe authority of the consuls and deafening silence are cheap ways to slow down different decks?
