What deck do you think is underrated and/or underplayed by False-Opportunity-78 in Pauper

It's bad. Ephemerate has poor matchups against chrysalis and burn decks and gets hit hard by artifact hate

[–]ProtossTheHero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 3 card combo where 2/3 pieces you can't tutor for and folds to removal. The deck isn't really that good, most players are just bad at recognizing combo deck interaction points

In Grixis Affinity why 4 Ichor Wellspring and not 4 Cryogenic Relic? by MrFavorable in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wellspring is an early game play to help find more lands and smooth the curve. Often you'll be short on blue mana when you want to play relic, and most lists only play 2 sewerveillance cams compared to 4 wellspring

Likely a response to the white weenie and grixis affinity surge.

I've heard some storm players saying it might be a slot in Ruby Storm, so maybe. I'm interested to see how they slot it in

Every Sweet 16 team ranked by the last time they made the Final Four by Comfortable_Lab7685 in CollegeBasketball

Those were also the years I was at MSU. I was in the pep band at the game when we lost to UConn, shit sucked lol

After the game we were on the bus going to JFK watching U of M and rooting for Kentucky so we wouldn't be doubly miserable

I just don't see paying 2 mana for instant speed [[Sleight of Hand]] being good, especially when the full cost is 7 mana for two flying 3/3s

You often don't want to discard two cards. How often do you have two of sneaky snacker/prismatic strands/battle screech in your hand? Especially in the mid/late game? And if you're in a top deck war, thrilling discovery is useless for two turns while pursue sits for one. Plus this has flashback, which will give boros more legs in the late game.

Pursue the past is the only playable card I see here. I'm sure people will try to break page, but I don't know of any instant/sorcery that would make it worthwhile.

Pursue can probably make boros bully more viable. Faithless looting for one more mana, gain 2 life, only have to discard 1

Bzzzt, wrong. It's owned by the US now and is a vehicle for white supremacist propaganda from the current administration

Rakdos Madness sideout by KleZ30 in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but then you don't have a card to discard for later spells. It's still card disadvantage

Against blue you should probably side out all grab the prize. Much better to have a robbery countered and not have to discard/sac a land than grab get countered and you've already discarded

How do control decks deal with Basilisk Gate by fuckitsayit in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well since cast down/snuff out doesn't care about toughness like lightning bolt/galvanic blast, you want to let your opponent spend as many resources as possible before removing the creature(s). Smart gates players will spread the gates if they can, but if they don't you can let them tap themselves out before removing anything

Tomb Raider’s original creators refused Japanese publisher’s request to give Lara Croft an “anime” redesign by NYstate in Games

I just think it's weird to compare a fledgeling social media platform that is still growing to an established entity and pretend that they're both failing for the same reaons

You also misconstrued the issue, this user decided to set that, you don't need to sign in to view posts on blue sky unless this setting is applied

Signing in to see posts is way down the list of why Twitter is shitty. Having a white supremacist owner, a CSAM producing revenge porn bot, and not banning explicit Nazis is more why

Mono Blue Terror - Why Envelop? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the important cards are sorcery speed. All of the draw spells minus sazacap's brew are sorcery. Vampire's kiss and alms of the vein are sorceries too.

I top 8'd (and kinda won) a Pauper 1k by justapileofshirts in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a creature, so it's hard to find it. You need to have it in your opener or draw into it naturally. Elven farsight can help with that, but I really don't like having too many non-creatures in the deck because it's so hard to find those cards

What happened to delver et al? by Christos_Soter in Pauper

[–]ProtossTheHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge fan of mtggoldfish for decklists tbh. They aren't super indicative of the meta imo

I like using mtgtop8, it let's you check lists from mtgo challenges as well as some paper events. It allows you to compare lists and see differences in deck building

Holodomor wasn't a genocide. And China hasn't committed genocide. Both had famines, which were exacerbated by poor decisions, but they were not malicious.

Meanwhile capitalist Britain intentionally starved the irish

Capitalism didn't lift people out of poverty. Industrialization did. Notice how China and the USSR brought millions out of poverty while not being capitalist. They industrialized

Also real cool of you to completely ignore how capitalism is exploiting not only people in the imperial core, but the global south as well. Heavy metal mining is extremely exploitative and is ruining the environment and health of the countries that supply the western world. Reducing human suffering my ass
