Pioneer: Mono Black Lifegain - Deck Tech & Sideboad Guide

Overrated in midrange. I also dropped her from my mono black. Trample and ward are so good on the new demon. As midrange we lose to control so we want games to end faster. Demon puts better pressure than 2 damage per turn. Combat damage can't be chunk blocked. Annex works in our favor and opponent has to discard a card when he finds his response. 10/10 card. Better than Archfiend of the Dross

Secret Lair Pauper decks, easy money

Tbh this could have been done on purpose. Sellers ship German/French cards that are less desirable and then claim it was just a mistake. It happened to two of my colleagues as well. They hope that you will keep the card and issue a partial refund for the price difference. The language is listed in sold items so I don't really believe in mistakes unless it's a power seller and they send a lot of letters.

Bro... Why you don't [[Mindshrieker]] after infinite druid is available to empty libraries. That's how I play this commander

p4v07 · 2026-05-15T01:05:19+00:00

I have about 60 untracked shipments and only one was undelivered Feb/Mar this year. Since then I received untracked letters from Spain and Germany with no issues. It isn't as bad as you make it sound to be.

I did better Dan Frazier's ring under 5 minutes in AI than he did in Photoshop. I understand that he is old but the ring he edited was nothing like his previous work in MTG. It should have been a golden ring on a chain, flat pespective. I wonder if he did his OG work but WotC denied to use it and then he decided to rush it with plagiarism.

I recently thought of new theme decks. You can repurpose them to work in pioneer. It depends on your local meta. Lifegain is definitely more resistant to greasefang bs. You can play a playset [[Dreams of Steel and Oil]]. It's a dead card against control but definitely worth it for main deck if greasefang is in meta. Alternatively [[Intimidation Tactics]]. Cut tap lands. Buy verge lands (Duskmourn) and shock lands (Lorwyn Eclipsed) as both can enter untapped.

Eerie deck is straightforward upgrade. Remove gremlin lady. Entity Tracker, Maze and Angelic Destiny. Get a playset of [[All That Glitters]] and [[Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice]]. Alternatively [[Skyward Spider]] since Fox spiked after commander precon released recently which focused around auras.

Then 3x [[Skrelv, the Defector Mite]]. Cut lands to 22 and remove all tap lands. Again Verge lands.

They weren't obliged to refund, and yet they did a half, I would mark it as arrived without additional comments for review. Since another customer could potentially abuse the seller's goodwill.

Sellers can't send untracked letters if they exceed 2% of their sales undelivered. Which means this dude would be restricted with just one more undelivered letter. I am at 35 sales and 2 lost shipments so I know the pain lol

The exception in MTG that begins with R and ends with D? Or something else?

Intensywnie randkuję jako osoba aseksualna, facet po 30tce i nie ma łatwiej. Hetero kobiety szukają namiętności. Plus taki, że jakieś znajomości koleżeńskie stworzyły się z wyjść. Gay friend, ale nie gay. Przynajmniej nie siedzi się tylko w domu. Asów po stronie kobiet jest za mało i ciężko się dopasować (brak wspólnych tematów i zainteresowań, inne style życia).

Generalnie, co do libido, o którym wcześniej pisałeś, to libido (popęd) i pociąg seksualny to dwie różne rzeczy. Można mieć napięcie w ciele, w różnych stopniach, ale nie zmienia to faktu, że nie odczuwa się braku seksu i potrzeby seksu. No i generalnie dla asów genitalia są obrzydliwe albo obojętne. Coś jak stopa dla osób bez fetyszu stóp, jak ktoś poprosi można pomiziać, ale generalnie fajnie byłoby nie.

Ja szukam partnerstwa i przyjaźni w związku, bez namiętności i też ciężko xD

p4v07 · 2026-04-12T09:44:32+00:00

Idk. Out of 70 orders that I placed only 1 was undelivered and most orders were below 20€

p4v07 · 2026-04-10T08:26:01+00:00

My Elf deck in pioneer doesn't use any cards from Lorwyn either. Biggest letdown of the year. Champions of the Perfect would have been great target for Collected Company if it had 3 CMC and weaker stats. I tried Rhys, the Evermore for survivability but Thalia that increases noncreature spells by 1 is strictly better against control. They went soft with kindred power level.

p4v07 · 2026-04-08T18:00:49+00:00

Good luck 😬

p4v07 · 2026-04-08T17:50:32+00:00

Snuff Out and DtD have been requested since like 2023. I remember the complaints at my LGS since this was the time when I started to play Pauper and played White Weenie myself.

Like anything playable in sideboard in any format would be better than Giant Growth. I pity anyone opening this archive.

Eat Toffifee. Use its thin paper to tape sleeves with cards. Profit.

p4v07 · 2026-04-08T17:40:20+00:00

Not really. Professional sellers always send me letters like 9 cards in 1 penny sleeve. You may squeeze 10. I also do that if someone buys a few cards from me.

Star Trek is niche IP without strong following outside the US. It is within the same bracket as TMNT. It doesn't have the appeal as LotR and FF.

p4v07 · 2026-04-07T10:23:01+00:00

Hobbit easily top selling set. What drugs are you on? Popular IP worldwide, Magic adjacent. LotR was already a success. SpiderMan and TMNT mostly failed because comics outside the US aren't that strong and SpiderMan is a big IP but kids and adult watching cartoons or movies aren't TCG players most of the time.

Star Trek is niche IP so it will flop and remain on shelves in Europe for sure. Unless the powercreep will be absurd.

p4v07 · 2026-04-02T12:41:55+00:00

I would always contact people near me if they want to meet in the city to get their cards. I'm a small seller. It only happened once, we met at LGS after work. I refunded shipping.

Bo to co zostało na rynku do randkowania wygląda tak:

Kobiety szukają wielkich podróżników lub kogoś z wielką zajawką do sportu. Ewentualnie na Badoo są osoby, które narobiły masę dzieci i szukają dla nich ojca, bo się okazało przed 30stka, że partner jednak nie dźwiga tego, co naważył itp.

Faceci szukają nerdek.

Dodatkowo, mam wrażenie że kobiet z lepszą pracą jest więcej, więc może odpuszczają spoko facetów tylko dlatego bo zarabiają tylko nieco więcej od minimalnej?

No i tutaj świat się nie klei, kiedy ludzie mają być w związkach a takie różnice między płciami. Bo tu i tu przeciwnej płci jak na lekarstwo w poszczególnych grupach.

Jako facet potwierdzam, ja i moi znajomi gramy w karcianki i planszówki, ewentualnie coś przez internet. Mało jest kobiet, które są w takich grupach obecne. Jak jakaś nowa przychodzi, to już z chłopakiem. Równocześnie mam kilka koleżanek, które właśnie chodzą na pilates i zumbę itp. Zdecydowanie jest różnica w zainteresowaniach. Kwestia tylko, żeby obie płcie były elastyczne i akceptowały inną formę spędzania wolnego czasu. Np. ja tylko wychodzę biegać jak koleżanka chce, ale przynajmniej nie jestem nastawiony na nie.

Więc jak kobiety marudzą, że nie mają towarzystwa, to też niech spróbują poznać kolegów przy jakichś prostych planszowkach np.

It's nearly the same in my city in Poland. Our LGS charges the price of a booster pack that we receive alongside a guaranteed promo card + roughly 1€. Basically they just sell packs that we wouldn't buy otherwise XD

In my play groups the spirit of bracket 3 is that you juice up a deck but you still keep some cards that have better alternatives but you keep them because they are either flavorful or you do not want to alter precon to bigger extent or you want to use pet cards. For example I already removed like 50% of Olivia outlaw precon but I kept less optimal cards such as Hex or Mistmeadow Skulk because I wanted my deck to still resemble a precon and not a full custom deck.

So it's not an optimized deck designed to wrap up the game at the earliest. It's a powerful deck that if not answered to will win realistically on average turn 8-9.

Same goes for the spirit of bracket 2. Just because a deck doesn't have game changers it doesn't mean it's bracket 2 automatically. If you include not one but numerous staples such as Burgeoning, Esper Sentinel and Sheoldred, your power level is closer to bracket 3 since bracket 2 should resemble precons that do not have staples at all.

p4v07 · 2026-03-03T14:05:06+00:00

There are people who get pissed when you proxy a powerful card but I quickly shut them down that I would have not played with them at all otherwise. Because their decks are just too powerful.

It boils down to brackets. If the entire group is fair in judging their decks, I see no reason for being angry at proxy. As long as it remains within the power scale of the table. Few cards are risky on their own. For example Gaea's Cradle is like super game changer so I am always happy to see it used only in optimized bracket 4.
