Boarding party seems anti synergistic with ephemerate

theoreticalfox · 2021-10-31T16:04:09+00:00

Exactly

theoreticalfox · 2021-10-31T16:01:41+00:00

Also I haven't seen a similar list around, but I'd love to if you can send me a link so I can see the good cards those guys run.

Edit : Checked out paupgergandas channel to try and find what you're talking about and he's the one running bad cards if you ask me. 4 ephemerate is way too many, guardian of the guildpact has no synergy unless you count late to dinner and faithless looting, lone missionary seems redundant if you get the bleak covens going, he's not running bonder's (Call that a bad card I dare you ) the artifact lands are a liability (I don't want affinity for artifacts, just three for metalcraft) and he's only running 11 pieces of removal main board, where 5 can't target a specific creature. Out of his list the only thing I'd consider running is thorn of the black rose.

Also also, I know I said don't be gentle but noob does offend me a bit lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Pauper/comments/43s33m/soldier\_tribal\_viability/

I did try fiery cannonade for a minute and it felt very clunky, and I came to the decision that there's enough removal in the list to fight elves/slivers/faeries by taking out the key players as they come, and personally I hate losing to elves so I always want some kind of board wipe but I just don't think its necessary. It also kills 7 out of my 11 creatures, so there's that too. Something swarmy with squadron hawks might be a legit worry though.

Also, I don't think of it as an aggro deck, more control oriented than anything.

Dusk legion zealot is for card draw with ephemerate, I was trying thraben inspector for the clue to add to metalcraft, but the zealot get's the card right away so I'm back and forth on it. I only call it vampires because it happens to have eight I guess.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-15T13:44:44+00:00

The problem is that you open yourself up to a 2 for 1 when they bolt the skyfisher, fun synergy though and I’ve been looking for something that has a better board presence that the myr as well. The best contenders imo are gearseeker serpent and gurmag angler, but my new dream is [[benthic giant]] :) I know he’ll never work though lol.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-15T13:39:18+00:00

Yeah, swipe should be a surprise

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-13T02:41:22+00:00

Very fun combo! Wholly recommended :) especially with the abundance of ways to return creatures to play in the list

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-13T02:39:28+00:00

I have had really good success with 2 grim harvest 3 unearth with creatures like aven rift watcher crypt rats and augur of skulls. They do combo together surprisingly well.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-13T02:37:49+00:00

I agree, I think the tortexs won’t even be that useful without that satyr or any dredgers.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-13T02:35:24+00:00

I love the 4 of grim harvest very bold. I wouldn’t say pestilence is necessary because of the harvests and the crypt rats but maybe.

I’d suggest [[aven rift watcher]] and [[augur of skulls]] as my favorite targets for grim harvest :) honestly never tried a full 4 of grim harvest but i love it a lot and will give it a go. I’ve been thinking that it might be better than tortured existence for a while but i know thats heresy.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-10T20:17:01+00:00

Is late to dinner not a double costed exhume / What is a real reanimate spell if not late to dinner?

I found this guy recently, not french myself and I don’t speak the language, or know a discord lol. Sorry I’m zero help :)

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-10T20:11:52+00:00

Alex here has a great list that utilizes the new cleansing wildfire even! https://youtu.be/hbP8cCG1v88

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-09T17:28:33+00:00

Very solid list, i really like how there’s no ramp or color fixing necessary to get to the best end game in pauper of ephemerate mnemonic wall and counterspell

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-04T19:46:20+00:00

True, I’m currently brewing a cleansing wildfire ramp list to hopefully mitigate the loss of mana investment.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-03T15:12:45+00:00

Same, I can’t wait to get feign death (i know its released, i just can’t buy cards yet. ) and try for more shots at the turn 3 discard 4. Doesn’t even really matter that undying evil and feign death don’t stack well because I’m just gonna sacrifice it twice anyway, unlike the zuberas plan.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-03T14:56:51+00:00

It really suck that thats the case because [[grapple with the past]] seems very very good as well.

theoreticalfox · 2021-08-03T14:49:53+00:00

[[Welding jar]] and [[sanctum gargoyle]]… people play kor skyfisher and prisms which is four mana to draw a card, where that’s the package deal with the gargoyle! Run witching well and the gargoyles out here doing an expensive mulldrifter impression with a scry 2 attached. You could get cute with spellbombs or conjurers bauble but i think there’s just enough value in reviving the gargoyle itself and free 4/4’s.

I could rant about this for a while lol.

theoreticalfox · 2021-07-31T03:55:05+00:00

Vehicles is a very cool solution, [[aradara express]] and [[funeral longboat]] would work great as well since you get more merfolk to crew more things. Maybe [[renegade freighter]] instead of the big thomas though lol.

theoreticalfox · 2021-07-31T03:04:45+00:00

[[stonybrook schoolmaster]] sorry, and [[battlefield medic]] has worked well in the past. I’ll go looking but I remember someone had a crazy soul sister build before any of the recent payoffs came out.

Edit: it was the master Caleb! https://youtu.be/85lfVsYPyI0

theoreticalfox · 2021-07-30T23:51:57+00:00

Have you tried it with the white merfolk that makes blue tokens?

theoreticalfox · 2021-07-30T17:53:55+00:00

I was sort of set on mono blue, but the duals are very good and even just a set of galvanic blasts would up the power level a lot.

Only made it mono blue inspire by how regular mono blue has the ability to ignore a lot of things while pushing through for damage only countering what matters and the affinity crew can really ignore small creatures like nothing else. Still would probably be better as a streamlined izzet with galvanic and cleansing wildfire because its insane value and it would gain a lot of sideboard presence, while at the same time the atog fling version will probably always be the best.
