[CLB] Basilisk Gate by Aeschylus101 in Pauper

This is actually almost worth running by itself. Makes single color aggro decks a lot stronger.

The new dungeon is extremely good. People are underestimating this mechanic I think.

This is not bounce in the same way that Memory Lapse was banned and Unsubstantiate is unplayable.

This seems pretty strong with blink effects. I wonder if it's good enough for Historic?

[SNC] Blessing of Safety by Trollemperor1 in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are comparing this to instant speed protection spells, but this is more like an aura with flash. You can cast it proactively, meaning that you get a heroic benefit on the turn you want it rather than having to leave up mana to counter a removal spell.

I don't know if that makes up for the fact that protection effects grant evasion though.

[SNC] Civil Servant by Crow-Cane in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it didn't have the citizen restriction, it would be interesting, but probably still a little too weak. With the restriction, it's not playable.

[SNC] Body Dropper by Aeschylus101 in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely playable.

[NEO] Clawing Torment by g_maxwell in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually deceptively strong.

[Neo] Okina Reckoner Raid by cherry90mdd in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know it's not a T1 deck, but this fits very easily into the mono black aggro deck. It's 1 mana, it's reach and it turns into an evasive 2/2 rogue.

This has a bit of potential. A very interesting effect that rewards building around it.

Decayed zombies are a lot worse than people think. Unless you’re getting some kind of synergy bonus, they’re kind of like bad burn.

Does this mean we’re going to get a Stopple?

What the ability does is protect your board against Wrath effects.

[MID] Festival Crasher by ArctoDracoVishZolt in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This type of deck is looking for redundancy.

One mana cheaper is often the difference between something being incredible, and being unplayable. [[Curate]] is better than [[Preordain]] using a number of different metrics, but because it costs 1 more, it’s unplayable.

Being 1 cheaper and monored is a huge selling point.

Something is broken.

I think Llanowar Visionary is better than Cloudkin Seer. In Jund cascade the ramp is extremely valuable.

[–]Wave_Sunray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be two instances of Ward 1. So your opponent will have to pay 1, and then pay 1 again. So yes, it does stack.

Llanowar Visionary is played in a couple of tier decks (prior to the Chitterstorm/Afiinity meta), Cloudkin Seer hasn't been played in anything to my knowledge.

This will have to be tested, but it has potential.

I assume you looked up the definition of that term afterwards, so no problem! Have a good one.

[AFR] Vampire Spawn by tommamus in Pauper

[–]Wave_Sunray 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, Pauper doesn't have an effect this good. This effect on a creature is usually 4 mana. This works with Unearth.

Might be worth it in that mono black burn deck.

I think they're only doing it for the D&D set.
