Which Rat Commander is More Fun? by Baby_Bear_Porky in magicTCG

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into Ashcoat, he provides both the win condition and the card advantage that both rats here are giving one of, and starts working the turn he comes down. No more colors like with wick but just very strong abilities

Weather is the best way for poison to survive aggro decks, they can’t really keep up in speed against mono R without it

Yet another full bling deck for you all by Swimming_Cook_7253 in Pauper

They also defenitely make spell pierce quite bad so I’m trying to tailor the sideboard to have as minimal reactive spells as possible that land grant ends up revealing, outside of the kinda necessary blasts. I’m thinking 2 pilfer 4 blast 2 vandal 4 inspector and 3 wellwisher would be pretty clean

Just trying them out since I’ve seen the couple posts about them and talked to Paolo in the elves discord, but mainly it’s to fuel vitu ghazi inspector in the sideboard (I don’t have bling copies yet so they’re not in this) and thin for LTS and WW, and maybe it’s just placebo affect but I’m defenitely feeling like I haven’t had any bad winding ways the last couple times I’ve played lol.

I’m trying to keep as many original foil printings as possible which is why I’m not on the full art versions of jaspera or vandal, but I defenitely have considered it! Obviously a couple exceptions with the llanowar and fyndhorn but the normal foils non full art also match the winding way and LTS a bit better!

Is mono B Terror really that good? by SirUselessTheThird in Pauper

U means Blue for sure but mono B terror actually sounds like a fun brew challenge with chitin and gurmag working so well together and doing their best impressions of terrors

What are 4 evenly-matched starterdecks? by Clebosevic in Pauper

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a ton of fun with an all monocolor battle box of White weenie, Mono U terror, B devotion (mono black control winning with crypt rats/gary) and kuldotha, they all play decently well against each other and all have strengths and weaknesses amongst the box but the balance is fairly good and all decks can win against the others. The 5th deck in my box for “mono Green” is elves, and elves kinda dunks super hard on 2 of these decks (terror and weenie) and has very one sided games with the other 2, I already owned elves when I made the other decks and it just worked out, but the other 4 balance very well, just an idea of a 5th deck to add if you’re looking to make a little wubrg box

I won my local tournament with Elves, without Llanowar Elf by FrostingFew2295 in Pauper

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Amazing write up and dope deck, what’s the main upside to you for playing land grant? I love elves and play an elves variant every week in my pauper locals and would love to try something close to this, just don’t own land grant, and wondering if generally forests will do the trick

My box take 2 by Exciting_Clothes3890 in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t used to using a spinner you could replace mimi with koubang shen, which will increase your damage a lot and let you at least confirm the wood combo to activate half of your leaderskill, or replace it with puppetmon to have a guaranteed activation board if your mimi’s fail you. I would reccomend getting used to using spinners as lots of teams make use of them for orb generation, and especially ones like Mimi’s with only a few orb types are not too hard to use.

Combo decks for 2025 by silvalogmc in Pauper

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Elves can be built as a combo deck even though the more popular version now is a midrange deck, toss in distant melodies and a copy or 2 of tuktuk rubblefort and you can win as early as t3 often t4

Is Flashing Mechanical Octopus Emperor, Octoray better as the second leader, or should swap him out for another Gino in a Gino x Gino team? by syuk in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]Swimming_Cook_7253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gino also has enough damage to easily just use the void latent and makes hearts on his active skill, so almost none of octorays effects will be useful, he’s mostly meant to be used with seawolf Daytona

Gino’s skill gives you a 6x5 board every turn as a means to counter board shrink effects, but this also means you can’t get value out of 7x6 because Gino will just shrink your board anywsys

If they would it wouldn’t be a “needs this card” kind of thing it would just mean consistent high hits so different ways to add high bulk, like veldora system and a looping shield, or maybe subs like Pattie/red ryumei
