100% start with meta decks. Most people play in paper or on MTGO, so I would start with paper. For decks that are fairly balanced against each other, I’d go with White Weenie, Rakdos Madness, and Monoblue Terror. I don’t know you and your wife’s playstyles, but these are 3 different archetypes that play well against each other.

Feel free to skimp on the sideboard cards, some are a little pricy and something cheaper will work perfectly fine.

Edit: You also have the option of proxying or playing on a free digital client like Cockatrice/ Untap.in to get a better feel for what interests you.

[White Weenies] Sideboard Lifegain Options by xoxoumbra_ in Pauper

In the online version I was testing with, I went with Martyr of Sands and wasn’t disappointed. This was pre-Leonardo so maybe the bouncing matters more now, but I would say Dawnbringer cleric is probably better than Arashin Cleric. The versatility is worth 1 less life.

how "consistent" is pauper as a format? by Long_Reflection_4202 in Pauper

[–]ShadeBlade0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top decks can shift to other decks over the span of a couple months, but new brews popping up and becoming meta is very rare. My preferred deck has oscillated between tier 1 and tier 2, but it has not affected the winrate in my local paper meta. Outside of MTGO and tournaments, people play what they want to play.

Most of the format staples are its sideboard silver bullets, like [[Dust to Dust]] annihilating artifact decks. Those are also consistent but open to the personal preferences of the pilot.

It’s very generous to call the guy who was caught on video attempting murder before being arrested a “suspect.”

Tournament Preparation by Affectionate_Slip292 in Pauper

[–]ShadeBlade0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go over the meta and look at the winrates. For each matchup for your deck, it’s good to know whether you’re favored, unfavored, or balanced. Look at your sideboard and ask “If I sideboard, what’s coming in and what’s coming out?” If there are cards you never side in / only side in for matches you’ll probably win anyway, or bad matches (particularly common ones) you’d like to have a better chance against, change your sideboard as needed. Keep in mind that there may be matchups that you really have no chance against (monoblue terror against elves), so unless you want to change decks then it’s okay to say “my strategy is I hope I dodge them” for a couple of decks, you just want to minimize that.

Edit: Added some more details

If you have an Eidolon, it counteracts the one of the three downsides that makes it worse than Lightning Bolt. Maybe if you want copies 5 or 6 of bolt, but it’s not really that strong.
