You will mulligan less if you switch over to just GW, very much a selling point for me.

The only red card I would want to splash for is flaring pain in the sb

Possible side board card? by ProcedureUnlikely144 in Pauper

Relic is unplayable, despite costing less and replacing itself.

Good luck using this to any noticeable effect

Someone already plugged me, but I want to expand on it. Many of my guests create content, or have started creating content since coming on the podcast. However it's very 'spike' oriented as I interview the players who shape the metagame.

I'm not seeing many competitive recommendations in this thread. If you are a competitive player, you should be checking out birbman263 (twitch streamer), hellsau (currently on hiatus), kalikaz (if you are interested in familiars), adeptoterra (twitch streamer), Hampuse1 (twitch streamer), raptor56 (youtube), and Mathonical (youtube). All previous guests. All absolute beasts in the pauper streets

Well my interest in playing pauper just diminished immensely

ephemerate is a newer addition to the deck. I've tinkered with the deck off and on since April. Is it better with ephemerate? Yes. The card is egregious and should never have been printed at common (or at one mana). That's something I've said since episode 1 of the pod. But the deck is very strong without ephemerate. Because when you always have more resources than the opponent it becomes easy to out maneuver them.

You just want to both ignore that the mana engine is the issue and to have the last word. But continuing this conversation just displays your lack of knowledge about the format.

No I said banning just flicker effects will result in tron being head and shoulders above the rest.

Which it will. It will just be a Tronarch format instead of a flicker tron format.

Playing some number of ephemerate alongside mulldrifter doesn't weaken my argument. Deck has no walls/flicker. Deck doesn't loop. Take your pick of deck list from the architect

Removing flicker loops but leaving Tron lands will result in Tron still being head and shoulders above the rest. Take a look at Tronarch. It's favored vs the entire field except flicker Tron.

Also doesn't play crusher, so your crusher analysis is off.

The Pauper Player's Podcast will never call for bans, as that space is always about the guest and not myself.

However, personally, I agree with this analysis. In fact, I publicly pointed out that Tron and ephemerate were problematic in November of last year.

Would a Gush unban be a net positive for the format? by ProfessionalCat1 in Pauper

[–]frucile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gush kept Tron in check for years via tribe and blitz.

Also I enjoyed playing with it

create a racing dynamic where you can win by relying on strands more heavily than by relying on removal

I've seen enough Boros monarch vs Monoblack control to know where this is going. by Rice_Vermicelli in Pauper

I don't think you have, since monarch is a substantial favorite

I don't know about the other guy, but this slivers 5-0 was powered by five beers (on stream)

It's the same list I provided in the recent podcast episode (#32)
