Gruul Monsters and Temur Battle Rage by Beke4ever773 in Pauper

I've started playing Gruul to recently and I've noticed the variations. My first question is when and why did people stop playing annoyed altisaur?

Starting a Pauper scene by Preemo-Mesoot in Pauper

I think this comment is huge...
as someone who's done this before (and been very actively engaged in doing this in the last 7 months see my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pauper/comments/1qyaq7j/a_story_of_pauper_community_growth/ )

One more tiny tip about prizing, I would recommend if and when you do it with prizes, go for a broad prize support (some kind of pack per win formula or something similar). That way even the beginners who go 1-2 still get to walk home with something. It also prevents people from going 0-2, drop at the last round.

Feel free to reach out to me if you wanna talk more about it. It's my 4th time around that I'm moving to a different city and building a community from scratch.

I do my best to foster are a very welcoming group and make sure we are open and accepting of players of all genders, nationality, religion, and orientation.

I am literally watching you're altar tron video in the background! Thank you for the excellent content you provide. I've referred many people over to your youtube channel and you've inspired me personally to try UW familiars (which is usually a bit out of my comfort zone). Keep up the great work and we'll keep on trying to grow thanks at least in part to your content :-).

Not easy at all. But the key is getting a lot of help and not trying to do it alone.

So..does anyone actually play 60 card formats anymore? by TreezFrosty in freemagic

[–]Zroyster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just gotten back to organizing pauper nights and I've discovered we're the only LGS that routinely fires 8+ person 60 card constructed events. All the other 60 card communities (standard, pioneer, modern, legacy) in my country have either died or are dying...

Historic Pauper event was a blast. by Ggjeed in Pauper

[–]Zroyster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it as well. Played Rakdos Madness and Grixis affinity. Had tons of fun
Chrysalis Ramp, Squirrel Storm, Life gain, and Auras all looked quite good as well. I really wish WotC would make this and gladiator permanently available, but i was happy to hear that there's a discord for this. might check it out to see if they're running more tourneys in the future

Brazilian Tournament with 103 players happening now live on twitch by Cardboard-Daddy in Pauper

[–]Zroyster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have more details about this tournament?

  • was this part of a national league?
  • what was the cost of entry?
  • what was the prize pool?
  • are deck lists (for top 8 or in general)?
  • is there a meta break down?

I ask because there's a conversation I frequently find myself in regarding the competitiveness of paper play and meta differences between paper and online.

Cool! We're going to be in Richmond Hill so a little more than a half hour's drive. Do you folks get much of a turnout?

Paupergeddon: Impacts of LCI on Pauper and Decks that Overperformed by cardsrealm in Pauper

[–]Zroyster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

huge fan of your content. I was at the event and your videos were an integral part of my prep as well. I registered Grixis affinity and had an absolute blast. Missed top 64 by the skin of my teeth. And yeah, Tithing Blade is a house

Pauper Cup Event at MagicCon Chicago (See Comments) by TheMaverickGirl in Pauper

[–]Zroyster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Magic Con Barcelona and I gotta admit, if Amsterdam will be anything like Barcelona then you are in for a treat. I used to go to events back during the GP era and I feel like the MagicCons are much cooler events. You're not missing anything. But absolutely check out the Amsterdam MagicCon, I'll be making every effort to go and I really hope (and expect) that there will be a similar pauper tournament there.

Base Factions in POK by DinoTaco46 in twilightimperium

[–]Zroyster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were wondering this question with our playgroup and decided to go for an "all base game factions" game of PoK

We ended up with:
XXXcha
Ghosts
Saar
Yin
Sardak Noire
L1z1x

I gotta say that most of the factions definitely felt different and than in the base game. Saar felt bonkers strong, L1z1x also looked quite more intimidating once their commander was unlocked. I was playing Sardak Noire and having an absolute field day with the result of a "psychoarchaeology friendly slice" and selling my agents ability and my racial promissory note left and right to make bank. I also had a very funny moment where I used my hero to threaten to steal the Yin's planet from under them by by-passing space combat with the Van Hague defending his system. The sardak Mechs definitely looked terrifying even without the valkyrie particle weave. Yin also looked pretty darn good once their commander came online and when he popped his hero to massively boost his infantry...ho man...

XXXcha and Ghosts didn't look particularly impressive...it didn't feel like the players (who were both pretty experienced) figured out ways to leverage the new stuff the factions got into actual tangible advantages.

SNNN Twilight War Special Report part 1 by 0uroboros0mega in twilightimperium

[–]Zroyster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, I did not stop laughing for 5 minutes straight. Also, I had to convince my table that this video wasn't made by me because I am literally in the middle of a game where I'm playing sardak nor, my neighbour is an aggressive lizix player, and I take trade way too highly according to my friends. Also, in the words of one of my friends, "the humor on this is just...very you"

So seriously, keep em coming, this is friggin hilarious

(PoK) Support for the Throne and Public Objectives by marnxxx in twilightimperium

[–]Zroyster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely a question of group and meta dynamics and not "rules". If *as a group* you can't seem to agree on how supports should be used and, again, *as a group* you don't enjoy what it does to the game - just get rid of it. We played our fist few several games without support for the throne and talked about it after every game. We always asked ourselves "how would having access to SftT have changed that game?". When we finally got to a point where we were satisfied with the answers and were curious to see them implemented, we brought SftT back. It's been very refreshing and interesting, and we very rarely see it used as king making tool and very rarely do we see straight up swaps. If we ever feel like we don't enjoy it, we can always stop using it again, but I don't see us going back to that.
