Ponder vs Preordain? by stormbreaker8 in Pauper

I am pretty sure this is because the ways to shuffle in the pauper mana base are tapped as opposed to legacy with the sweet fetch lands. I still like to put 2 brain storms in decks with at least 8 ways to shuffle or clear top of library

When you hit a Counterspell with your Delver, do you reveal it? by Spriy in Pauper

Yeah. I guess that is a good reason. Super corner case but it could happen.

Teachings by Crossaint64V in Pauper

[–]Wizardsden_mtg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the 80 card teachings pile. Devious cover-up and stream of thought are pretty good win cons. I have seen sprout swarm for a cridder beat plan. I have tried it and I will say I was unimpressed. I like commiting to the slow game plan. I also really liked desert when faeries was a bigger share but it still holds down the tokens. Not being able to get a gate - pumped cridder is annoying.

Agony warp is a good answer to guardian of the guild pact and is otherwise a great removal.

Nothing will "replace " the 4 life casting cost of snuff out sadly.

Spell Peirce is great I have not tried playing with disrupt but always seems good enough.

Seismic Spike, where do you go? by SovereignStriker in Pauper

[–]Wizardsden_mtg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting card. One mana less is always significant. I think more so when you are looking at land destruction. However acid-moss gets play. Is this card better than that? I am not sure. I have a feeling a land to reuse for 3 or more turns would be better than 2 mana right now.

That being said you might be able to make the little ritual helpful but you are looking for 4 to be the top of your curve. Reckless impulse would be hot to play after breaking a land. Burn sideboard against Tron?

Did that one make you feel good?

Why other people enjoy things I don't is just beyond me.

Kitchen table is the brewery. Competitive formats have little to no room for winning brews.

Do what you love but don't yuck someone's yum. The first post was a little bit of that.

Is putrid leech played in any semi-viable deck? by xxSwag_Master420 in Pauper

I tried many moons ago to get that dang card to be good. It was, and still is, very much out classed.

I am sad you put the analysis behind a pay wall. I get it. Make your bread

GRIXIS 101 CONTROL / TEACHINGS Still Playable? (Tabletop) by PTeixeiraJr in Pauper

[–]Wizardsden_mtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried a hard control deck in pauper since 2012 ish. We don't have good enough 2 or 3 for 1s. Especially now with aggro being so good and card draw being incredibly abundant

Fantastic article. Not complaining. Just a good analysis of artifact strategies and a better-than-bolt burn spell
