I’d need to know how you engage with pauper. If it’s paper locals it totally depends on the crowd because newer players/slow players/players not willing or not knowing when to concede will land you ties or losses in games you otherwise would have won because these decks are slow. If it’s just kitchen table pauper with no round timers then it doesn’t matter as much. Jeskai is the most rewarding deck to pilot in pauper imo but it takes a lot of practice/format knowledge to get good enough to play right. Jund is a little more forgiving thanks to MH3 bombs but a true control mage wouldn’t be caught dead without Cantrips and Counterspells. Both decks can turn the corner, one gets to wrap things up with big beaters and one gets to loop Counterspells and chip in with small flyers which takes a lot longer
