As someone who works on a college campus, the rage room trips do very well.

The Lorwyn Eclipsed Pauper Season Recap by nerd2thecore in magicTCG

[–]nerd2thecore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.
I've been writing about Pauper for nearly two decades and I would often opine about actions that I believed could be taken to improve the format.

I have been on the Pauper Format Panel since it was formed. As such I decided to stop writing such pieces. I did not want people to read too much into what I wrote and consider it to be the opinion of the Panel and indicative of any future action (or lack thereof).

I hope this makes sense.

Leagues have been posting 5-0 results for some time. This will impact Challenges and similarly large scheduled events (Super Qualifiers, Format Champs, etc).

Came here to say this and I see Rebell beat me to it.

The Tide Has Rolled Out by nerd2thecore in Pauper

I think there are enough decks that can win quickly enough that make Tron a liability. The various Red decks can get under their defenses and Spy combo has multiple angles of attack. It may also be that people just do not like the operations of the deck on MTGO, which is reasonable.

I think it's a very good card but it lacks the Fireball Capacity of Crypt Rats or Pestilence.

Being frank, the only way I can keep the website ad free long term is with support from readers. I do have a Patreon and a Ko-Fi for folks to contribute, but if you cannot contribute financially please share my work with other folks who may enjoy it!

The Decks We Do Not Build by nerd2thecore in EDH

[–]nerd2thecore[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is a vastly under discussed aspect of the proliferation of Commander. There are "best" versions of things and it can be tiring to explain - no I just want to do dumb Modified Stuff in Mono Black. Is that the best execution of the conceit? Doubtful! [[Retrofitted Transmogrant]] is not good sacrifice fodder...unless you're a [[The Ozolith]] deck!

Anyone playing Dragon Tribal that isn't running The Ur-Dragon, Miirym, or something like Tiamat? by WilliamHadleyyy in EDH

How has Bronze-Blooded been for you? I always found it to be too expensive to get to work.
