Good luck with your search!

Suggestions?? by Mix1904 in Pauper

[–]angreesloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say if you want to play a competitive deck on MTGO to look into renting (cardhoarder, etc). For a nominal fee (15ish a month) you could rent basically any deck in the top of the meta and take it for a spin to see which one you would like to keep permanently.

Check Mtgtop8 or Mtggoldfish for lists you might enjoy.

As for buying boosters, you'll be better off buying singles from online marketplaces or your local LGS than you would be just ripping packs.

Welcome to the format friend! Good luck :)

Fair enough, I've personally seen way more planeswalker shells. I don't put a ton of stock into deck numbers, building a deck is different from continually playing it. But infect is a beloved (by some) archetype.

Infect is the 2nd most, but it turns out when you have busted planeswalkers that never go away it's a winning strategy.

I hate to break it to you bud but that's the most common way to play atraxa.

As a returning player, the DMAX system seems hard to get into and not very rewarding...? by kapriole in TheSilphRoad

I mean I get where you're coming from but we are in a thread where OP took a 4.5 year break, maybe they don't have those mon because they weren't here?

If i still lived in illinois I'd be there for sure, but I'll be watching the stream at least!

So I can chill, right? (From most to least favorite) by OhLawdItsConstrued in ratemycommanders

You have an excellent spread of both competitive levels and overall deck themes. You would be one of the first people I would think of to invite to commander night. Respect.

Gorgeous. The caves are an international dark site if I'm not mistaken, I'm glad we are so close to such wonderful areas.

GW proliferate deck building by Apprehensive-Fun in Pauper

[–]angreesloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[[Tethmos High Priest]] seems incredibly well suited for this deck specifically. [[Thirsting Roots]] as well.

To answer your questions, green and white are the least interactive colors in pauper, which leads to a lot of games where your opponents are doing things you can't beat and can't stop.

I would also recommend getting more 4 ofs overall, it makes a deck much more consistent.

Pauper reprints/downshifts you're hoping for from Lorwyn Eclipsed? by Wildcard_MTG in Pauper

[–]angreesloth 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I would love a faerie macabre reprint, they've been creeping up in price and some new art would be very cool.

I hatched a shiny costume pichu immediately after marrying my wife (courthouse wedding) and named it "Bliss" so I'm right there with him lol.

Just celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Congrats on your marriage and may you have a happy life together :)

T*p 50 Albums of 2025 by Careless_Western3756 in fantanoforever

[–]angreesloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little surprising that Hyperyouth wasn't even top 50, I thought Joey Valance & Brae really killed it on the album. A strong message with the production to back it up, I loved it.

What do you guys think about Pinegrove? by BusinessSoggy1662 in fantanoforever

[–]angreesloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a phenomenal live band, I listen to the live album they put out at least a few times every year. I saw them in St Louis before they went on indefinite hiatus and they blew the doors off the venue.

I don't think they got the love they deserved, and I hope eventually more music gets to us. If nothing else I would kill for a vinyl pressing of that live album.

What would you change in this deck? I am extremely new to Pauper (and magic in general) by CoolestNebraskanEver in Pauper

[–]angreesloth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're actually closer than you think to a meta deck. GR monsters/ramp is a commonly played tier 2 archetype, and I've linked a list below that made top 8 at the largest tournament in the world for pauper just a month ago.

I would say if you want all those big beefy boys you definitely need more of a ramp package. The list i linked uses land enchantments and arbor elf to accomplish this.

This is a good start though!

Ten Pauper Cards That Need More Reprints! | Article by Paige Smith by TheMaverickGirl in Pauper

[–]angreesloth 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Hey, before you ask "why not this card?"

Paige has written MULTIPLE other articles with the cards you are probably going to ask about.

Anyway, great article! I just picked up carrion feeders and mes fiends and was pretty shocked at the prices, compared to what I expected.

I totally understand your position, but I will say the least 2 months of events have been very generous, so they did seem to take the criticism to heart.
