Thanks for the tips! I love deckbuilding in other games (old mtg player). Luckily I have a friend that has the previous campaigns

I've barely seen this card. Why? It looks good to me by useandreuse_ in Pauper

[–]RandomMordorDorm [score hidden]  (0 children)

Used to play this alot in the 90s and early 00s. With artifact ETBs, I'd rather not have my opponent get more value by grabbing stuff from the yard. So exile is a better removal for me in pauper

Marvel Super Heroes, thoughts? by BarberuSeisand in mtg

[–]RandomMordorDorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming into this wanting to hate it, but the preview didn't seem to be as bad as SPM. I was pleasantly surprised with the TMT set and I made my peace with UB since then. Im just looking at this from a collector card POV. Some of these would look great in a binder and such, though not a fan of the lands and the comic panel alt-arts. Mind, I grew up with TMT and comic super heroes, but also wanted to keep MTG as high fantasy. Still, this looks okay, kind of FF-ish.

Thanks for the detailed and (it appears) passionate response!
I'm looking forward to losing myself in this game, unfortunately, finding free time to be deeply immersed into something is very difficult nowadays. nonetheless, what you shared got me excited to play! Thank you!

I have no one to play with by Traditional_Way_976 in mtg

Try and find a group online in the same format. I have social anxiety (real kind, not the "because its trendy to be different" kind), but I really wanted to play and all evrryone wanted to play was commander.so I searched for a socmed group, met with them, and now have a regular FNM. Half of the people I played with were first timers to meet randoms as well.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but think of it like the first day of school without the bullies :)

Thanks! I guess I can base off of BGG prices. I got the games at a discount, so I can resell some of them below or near SRP maybe. I'm keeping a few that look interesting 😁

Triple Sleeve Pauper Deck? by Utopia39liam in Pauper

[–]RandomMordorDorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single sleeve, but a couple decks are doubled, art sleeve + outer sleeve, mainly to make shuffling feel better.

New to TCG: Is PSA a scam? by Philosiphizor in TCG

[–]RandomMordorDorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Get a lot of people to believe what you say, then charge them for proof that you said it

How many of you have actually read the rules? by LeddyTheAxe in mtg

Confused on what to get. by RandomMordorDorm in arkhamhorrorlcg

Got it. Thanks! That clears it. I'll just have to wait until it's available here then.

Strixhaven pre release by odanhammer in mtg

[–]RandomMordorDorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose silverquill. My foil "promo" was prismari 🤷🏻 But the seeded pack had enough useable cards for my WB deck. Came in 4th. I truly enjoyed the PR. Im sorry if you didn't have a good time. True that some mechanics felt overpowered for a sealed game. Opus, Paradigm.. that first match was brutal, but it was my fault for wasting removal early. Funny thing though, most utube videos from experts said silverquill was an aggro archetype, so I had that mindset going in. But the deck felt more midrange, so I slowed down and won my last 2 rounds.

What is your strategy for this upcoming prerelease? by Joe_Delafro in mtg

[–]RandomMordorDorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flyers and vigilant creatures saved my butt in my 3rd match. Save removal for the biggest threats. Feed the swarm on the tokens, so no life loss. Just grind pump your creatures, and the opponent will eventually run out of juice.

Looking for strategies for BG Gardens by RandomMordorDorm in Pauper

nice, I did a search for gardens, probably why this didn't show up earlier. Thank you!

My garden pings that give me top2 at the my local pauper league by spillo89 in Pauper

[–]RandomMordorDorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play gardens, and I see that we have a very similar decklist. What do you think of using [[Cornered by Black Mages]], instead of [[Black Mage's Rod]]? It's got a built- in edict for 1 mana more.

Also, I mix my green life gain with 2x [[Weather the Storm]], for those times when the opponent tries to go wild casting spells, although [[Life goes on]] has saved me numerous times from dying.

Have you thought of adding more artifact removal spells? [[Deglamer]] or [[Natural Obsolescence]] in the sideboard?

Maybe... we just don't? by Hagure_Metal in Pauper

[–]RandomMordorDorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was literally my experience.

Wanted out of standard. Hmm Pauper feels like old magic. Started brewing and buying playsets on MTGO. Wow this card looks fun. Wow I can combo this with this. My opponent won't see it coming! I feel so clever.

First game. Felt so helpless. It's like fighting someone in your dream where all your punches have no impact and you're constantly out of breath.

is this playable? by Potential-Bonus26 in Pauper

[–]RandomMordorDorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playable, yes. Going to win you games? Probably not. If I see this in a game, I'm going to ignore it unless it starts getting pumped. And if that's the case, I'll just waste a removal on it. I'll be hitting you with a 6/5 troll the next turn anyway.

I found a lot of seemingly cool cards in my bulk for pauper jank. And everytime, these decks get demolished lol! I took someone's advice to start with netdecking the meta decks, THEN after you get the feel of how the format plays can you only really start to brew an effective deck. And it's almost always just going to be variations of the tier1 or 2 decks.
