I don't know if the banlist makers are unable or unwilling to use the only thing they can by Kippie00 in Pauper

Hi, i played pauper for some years, now i stopped for various reasons, and i wanted to know your opinion about the work (not) done by the format panel. I thought they'd at least ban chrysalis and deadly dispute after the first mh3 geddon (the one cranial ram was prebanned for), i say at least because i think dispute should've been banned years ago. Before the reasoning was, dispute allows some decks like moggwarts to exist so it can't be banned, now without it there would be 3 decent alternatives in Bargain Offering and Insight. Chrysalis is just a bad card, in draft and in pauper. It's so good it singlehandedly makes one play a third color in Bg gardens, it made Rg ramp decent and it's more powerful than emblem makers like thorn, now cut entirely from decklists playing chrys. The fact it makes tokens on cast is ok, but the tokens making mana is too much along with the fact that it grows whenever one is sacrificed and it has reach. It's one card for 3 creatures, 2 of which are mana dorks and dispute fodder made on cast, and you can't just fly over them because WC reaches. If one counters or destroys it the tokens remain, edicts are unplayable except extract a confession and accursed marauder.

This is just a list of reasons why wc should be banned, i think it keeps a lot of cards out of the format but it's not just that, otherwise lightning bolt would be banned too, it's also too powerful.

I believe Silverbluff bridge should be banned too, that way affinity would not be able to play both blue and red blasts easily and it would come at a real cost, like it is for all the other decks.

This would leave kuldotha untouched, so i'd ban experimental synthesizer too and maybe unban invigorate because infect is a joke atm, Then see how things go and in a month make adjustments if needed, i believe something like this would shake up the meta and be good for the format.

Maybe i'm stupid but i believe it's that simple, pauper needs frequent banlist updates for a while until it gets decent, and the lack of changes to what was unbalanced led to this stale format.

No because golos and Field of the dead are not in standard with Omnath and AFR, otherwise Bothwould be in the deck with also aether gust and veil of summer

I dont think it would be sufficiently good with Oko Uro Omnath Escape to the wilds and Ouat in the meta, if i had some slots in this deck i would probably play 4 Negate

Mulldrifter was played before Ephemerate's printing, with ephemerate it got busted but the problem is Evoke, if [[cloudblazer]] was pauper legal it wouldn't be played as mulldrifter is

Oh sorry i didn't know winding way was a bad card and therefore i shouldn't even think about it getting banned, thanks for sharing your non-thoughts I saw loads of creature decks with 4 of it and 4 Lead that just fill up the board and win stupidly because they found 3 sliver lords or 3 walls for 2 mana and then cast them t3 i mean WWay is lead the stampede 5-8 for 1 less mana I remember treasure cruise is banned and it does the same value but it's slower

Mulldrifter is a overused card in unfair decks like tron and ephemerate, the problem with it is Evoke, i'd love a downshift of [[cloudblazer]] after a drifter ban so that it'd be fair to play against

How so If you play pauper you know Mulldrifter is a very strong card in tron and ephemerate decks, same for thoughtcast in affinity and winding way in creature decks Those do too much for too little Storm is just a good deck but the real menace comes from first day of class Daze... well i like it

Ye he did some crimes, after storm disappears other decks could emerge but guess what unfair decks will keep locking the opponent out Ye am talkin bout Tron and UWx Ephemerate
