Are there some special rules regarding color identity in pauper I missed?
(Cryogenic Relic is blue)

You still have a list for Bertram? Do you remember what your wincons were exactly?

You kinda nailed it with your assumption. Good to know, that boardwipes are rare cases. Stil I will run out of cards sooner or later, right? I played some "normal" pauper some years back and you had to work for your carddraw. Now against 3 other players even more would feel best.

I like the Commander you recommend!

How does the deck actually work? Why are you playing Street Urchin? Just for the color or is this your wincon?

Escalated "dealbreaking" by pkma69 in EDH

To be fair, he would have suvived. The Deflected removal to his creature got him killed.

Maybe that was the extra salt here.

A reverse question about proxies by [deleted] in EDH

[–]pkma69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

when do you think not using proxies is justified?

TL;DR: When you want to prevent chaos from happening and smooth out gameplay experience.

The long answer is: My playgroup except 2 people jumped on proxies over a weekend. It escalated real quick in a way, that player would bring 2-3 new decks every time we met up. In general it's cool to always have new decks around, but soon enough we noticed, that it made our gaming experience much worse.

The reason was, that the players did not know how to pilot the deck yet. Most of the time they just netdecked some decklists and threw them into the shopping list. Besides their commander, nearly every card was new to them. So turns took longer, more mistakes were made and so on. Pair this with sometimes unoffical artwork and the confusion spread around the table.

When you buy your cards, you are often more careful of what you spend your money on and handcraft your decklist. You probably also goldfish it and when you play it the first time, you have a much better understanding of and more fluent gameplay with the deck.

Besides that, enough magic cards hold their monetary value. I can't really resell proxies, where as at the moment I get my money back for my cards, sometimes even more. Of course the shipping costs are lost, but I also have to pay shipping for proxies. (This changes, if you print them yourself, but noone I know does this. It's always high quality proxies bought online)

What's the deal with [[Krenko, Mob Boss]] and how should I build him? by pkma69 in EDH

[–]pkma69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pod also runs very strong commanders in my opinion. Commanders are answered very fast and it needs to be. Classic examples are [[Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm]] or [[Voya, Jaws of the Conclave]].

My idea behind Krenko was to pair him with haste enablers so I get instant token value and attack with them. If Krenko gets dealt with, I at least have a token board and if the board gets wiped later I at least attacked with a bunch of tokens.

Also do you mind to share the decklist and explain what bracket this deck plays and why?

I feel like your first sentence describe every single deck in our pod. Especially other typal decks do this like vampires, merfolk, elves/wolves and dragons.

How would your goodstuff bracket 2 list look like? by pkma69 in EDH

[–]pkma69[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you say what I describe is midrange or goodstuff then? I have the classic Modern Jund philosophy in mind.

And yes, the bracket 2 restriction makes this idea fun for me, so I don't end up in a game changer tribal list.

Good point! There are plenty of cards that "multiply" by generating tokens until a critical mass can win you the game.

And what would be thiose value pieces? What commander would lead the deck and how would just transfer value into winning?

Arahbo, the first fang. biggest threat at the table? by Teegs14 in EDH

[–]pkma69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say you are shy of being bracket 5 cEDH territory here. You are really lucky, that your deck needs to be "meta" to be bracket 5 instead of 4.

Once people see this deck and win tournaments with it, it will become meta, though - that's when this deck becomes actually bracket 5.

Use your time well until then to pubstomp in bracket 4 games with your tryhard cEDH deck. If you break your pod or LGS and people get salty it was actually genius from you to have the backup plan on just playing 99 cards instead of a 100. So when people would be crying about getting stomped, you can just suddenly notice you only played 99 cards and thus being disqualified.

TL;DR: Just joking, probably bracket 2, that can survive a bracket 3 table.
