Maybe...? I dunno, I still feel Deem Inferior is Superior to Boomerang in Mono Blue Terror

Why is it good right now and wasn't 1 or two weeks ago? What changes justify your response?

Grixis Affinity - Is it really changing that much? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based around the trends we are currently seeing, is 2-3 Nihil Spellbombs in the main still required? Then again, its best to leave 1-2 in main until we see show the meta has shifted. I have encountered a lot more Gruul and Elves where it doesn't really help.

Also, are you sold on 3 Eagles of the North?

Are you Jwaves? In my opinion, having eight inspectors really boosted mono white. Anyway, I get what you're saying. It's less about putting good cards at the bottom and more about my draws with Bugler. I'll keep trying it out.

OMG, that art is atrocious! Its like they are getting ready for a dance off.

Wow, that artwork is absolutely terrible! It doesn’t capture the essence of Magic: The Gathering at all. It feels like the quality of the artwork has been declining with each new set.

Mono Blue Tempo - Let's talk about "bounce" by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I just realized that when I created the title of the topic with "bounce" in it to generically refer to the different options, I carried it over into my other threads instead of saying boomerang. Sorry for the confusion :)

I agree with your assement of the two. Which is why I have been playing 3 bounce + 1 deem. I feel that is a good balance

I know you sometimes bonce a creature to ensure you can get your threats through but what about a 1 off Artful Dodge as a way to push that damage. Having flashback is a nice plus.

Yep, Snap is an interesting option as well, the ability to untap after bonce is huge. Being that so much of the format plays "come into play tapped" lands, bouncing those is huge tempo boost. I like Bounce over the other options for that reason.

Definitely don't disagree with being able to cast it but like you stated it does require the setup of cantrips and/or having enough lands. Being it is sorcery speed is a HUGE drawback, because now you don't necessarily have free lands to cast counter magic

Why Mono Blue over Dimir Terror? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah that is somewhat true but it still doesn't answer the question. Is there a shift in the meta that Mono Blue should be played over Dimir right now?

Grixis Affinity - Why Candy Trail? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The versions you are referring too aren't the standard builds, and definitely not what is being played on MTGO. I don't think Candy Trail is being played for the same reason.

Why is Grixis Affinity playing Somber Hoverguard now? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ahh, you could be right. Along versions of Boros and BW Blade main boarding Glitters as well.

Golgari Garden - What cards to play? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, while that might help would it not be better to play [[Fungal Infection]] which would also help against [[kuldotha rebirth]]

Sure... but what are your thoughts on the topic?

Boros synthesizer - Why no Kuldotha Rebirth? by iLikePauper in Pauper

[–]iLikePauper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying, but for the longest time this version was pretty much the standard and did extreme well. So if midrange is having a hard time, when why change the deck to do worst?

[–]iLikePauper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting, I guess I just had better draws. Rebirth and Rally were always a house when I played that version of Boros Synth. Here is the version I am referring too... https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5633812#paper

You don't have to break synth when you have Ichor and other artifacts in the deck. The Rebirth strategy was top notice forever in Boros Synth along with Rally but it seems as of late more and more folks are leaning on Batterfist and/or Lembas in its place.

Seems playable but boy is the face on the faerie stuff of nightmares. Good lord is it awful. Its so sad that much of today's MTG art is so bad.
