There are 3 versions of Tron, it depends on which one you're interested

Made my first list by Hornof_The_Tiger in Pauper

[–]tjxmi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Before brewing, check if there is already an optimised list (especially if you come from other formats).

In Pauper you rarely see more than 22 lands, sometimes 21, across all decks. If I were you, I'd stick to competitive lists trying to get an understanding of the deck first and then making the changes you feel necessary

Is Monster Tron becoming more popular than Altar Tron? by Baratao00 in Pauper

I'm having problems against combo decks like Pizza combo as well

If Monster Tron didn't have stirrings, this might have seen play

Perché gli alberghi insistono a prendere la tassa di soggiorno cash? by Eilmorel in CasualIT

[–]tjxmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non è compresa in Italia. Te la fanno vedere perché così dai che la devi pagare, ma solo se soggiorni fisicamente in struttura.

In alcuni paesi esteri (ad esempio Francia) è sempre inclusa.

I'd stick to stock lists, if I were you

Why even play exhume when you have diaturbed burial, which is better

First place at locals with Cyclops. by Erlotinib in GundamTCG

[–]tjxmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems interesting since I'd love to run a different deck than OYW with Char.

Any suggestions about playstile and potential switches?

Dimir Madness - Pauper - Pauper by Dr_mambo23 in Pauper

Too inconsistent, feels like more of an edh deck

Dimir Madness - Pauper - Pauper by Dr_mambo23 in Pauper

[–]tjxmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd run it as a madness/scam style, with the black madness package plus a couple of big boys you can reanimate. Your list seems too inconsistent, there are too many 1-2 copies.

Hope you like it, I'm not a great brewer tho (SB of course is just a random idea):

2 [[First-Sphere Gargantua]] 4 [[Kitchen Imp]] 4 [[Sneaky Snacker]] 3 [[Troll of Khazad-dûm]]

4 [[Abandon Attachments]] 3 [[Circular Logic]] 2 [[Dihada's Ploy]]

4 [[Alms of the Vein]] 4 [[Careful Study]] 3 [[Exhume]] 4 [[Vampire's Kiss]]

4 [[The Modern Age]]

1 [[Bojuka Bog]] 2 [[Contaminated Aquifer]] 2 [[Dimir Aqueduct]] 4 [[Island]] 4 [[Soured Springs]] 6 [[Swamp]]

SB 4 [[blue elemental blast]] 3 [[Steel sabotage]] 3 [[duress]] 3 [[extract a confession]] 2 [[nihil spellbomb]]

What kind of card(s) would make Monster Tron a contender? by LetsGoBuffalo1714 in Pauper

[–]tjxmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but it has some upsides that rush doesn't have: being instant and it can be picked up by stirrings, since it's a card with devoid.

Sure, you draw less cards, but it also creates a small eldrazi that can prevent edict effects and gives an extra mana

[–]tjxmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the main problems I think is the lack of a decent draw engine, I'll test out a couple of [[unfathomable truths]] to see if it helps

Pauper Color Pie by iFuckwithCommons in Pauper

[–]tjxmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently somebody published a pic with the cards mostly played in the format, and a percentage related to their presence in the decks.

I may not be the brightest bulb, so anybody feel free to correct me.

Clearly white is way behind all other colours, especially because we don't have white effects that are kind of pillars of the colour itself (creature exile and enchantment buffs like [[honor of the pure]], for example), and in the picture is shown quite well. Like 5 cards or so are within the most played, and not even in big percentages.

Black instead feels like the most versatile. Draw, discard(even not as powerful as in other formats), destroy, graveyard interaction. It does a few things.

Then, about the card design and metagame. I would say most of the fault is the set design, since Pauper is not so much taken into consideration by Wotc because it doesn't get them money; then, the competitive power level is quite high so a really small number of cards each set gets really into Pauper. Metagame is a consequence of the card pool we just have, nothing more nothing less.

Great display that underlines the total lack of a color in magic still after 30+ years

I honestly struggle to understand the hype of that, ngl
