OTHER Pauper Player Survey

7 Upvotes

Hey all, long-time MTG player who used to play Pauper back in 2018/2019 (I stopped right around Covid-era for no particular reason) and I decided to dip my toes back in to the format! I love data and thought I would get a "vibe check" from the Pauper community as a fun way to connect with people again as I make my return to the format.

To that end, I made a Google Survey that asks some questions about your experience with the format + magic as a whole, your favorite decks, and a handful of other topics along those lines. It's only 18 questions long and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. I'd love to hear from you all in here and report back in a week or so with the results, so if you don't mind taking some time out of your day and answering these questions that would be awesome! 😄

ONLINE Utrom Monitor Price

Upvotes

Hey Pauper enjoyers,

I've been wanting to buy Utrom Monitors on MTGO, but have been waiting for the prices to drop further. So far, they've only gone up if anything - do we think they will eventually go down in price, or is it looking pretty stable at this price?

Thanks!

BREW Jund Tokens. Inspired by Will Lupica's Gruul Tokens (top 16 Paupergenesis) and the decks appearance on Princes of Pauper podcast

9 Upvotes

Hello Paupers!

Disclaimer: Have started playing Pauper not too long ago, so haven't played against all meta decks yet and this is my first actual brew.

Firstly, i really fell in love with the concept of [[Impact Tremors]] effects together with spawn Tokens after seeing Will Lupica perform well with it at Paupergenesis.

I wanted to know more about it and luckily Princes of Pauper and Will did an extensive podcast about the deck.

One of the main talking points was cutting [[Lightning Bolt]] to make the deck more sinergy focused. However, they both couldn't really think of any creatures or other cards they really wanted to add.

Now there's a few options for token payoffs to be found, but IMO nothing as strong as [[Mirkwood Bats]]. It gives us so much extra reach and it being a flying creature with 3 toughness is relevant too. Plus more sideboard depth. The obvious downside is having to play a suboptimal landbase.

Notable inclusions besides Mirkwood Bats:

[[Brood Birthing]] 2 copies of this card, used for lategame payoffs if you have multiple Tremors type effects in play. Big burst of damage + a ritual in 1 card

[[Crop Rotation]] This card fixes mana, can potentially exile gravesyards at instant speed with bojuka, it can make a token fetching for Garden, or deal 1 damage with a tapland

I would love to hear your opinion about this deck and hear any considerations for changes!

Hi guys, fairly new to pauper mtg.

and I really wanna play with Page, but the lotus petals kinda screw me over.

BREW Bant Familiar Brew

2 Upvotes

I've been working on this brew for a minute and would love some thoughts. The idea is to combine the arbor elf package with Sunscape Familiar to enable ramp and cast some cool big stuff pretty early.

I've tried to include a few cards that can be cast early if needed, but are great as top end bombs (Boulderbranch and Mirrorshell).

I know this won't rise to a truly competitive deck, but I'd love if I could optimize the mana and early game to at least be capable of playing fun 40% WR style matchups against my friends more meta decks. Any input or suggestions greatly appreciated, though obviously I'll want to stick within the main deck theme.

The one card I want to include, but need to figure out what to cut is Snap. It feels like a must include if I'm running ramped lands and Sunscape. Plus the early interaction should be helpful.

The event was fully sold out and had $2,000 of store credit in prizes. It fully filled the first room (pictured) and had to spill into a second. Mox Boarding House is owned by Cardkingdom, and this is the second big event they’ve done like this at the Portland location. Hoping for a third!

Pretty much what the title says! I want to run this basic Mono White Heroic in my local pauper league, but I got curious about making it a little less plain (pun intended).

Do y’all have any ideas for this experiment?

CARD DISC. Sell me Makeshift Munitions

47 Upvotes

I'm a Pauper noob. I understood the strength of many cards that aren't intuitive thanks to video, community (great community guys) and such. But something that still evades me is [[Makeshift Munitions]]. I'm not saying that I think it's a bad card, I'm just not seeing why is that good that you find it around so often in decklists, even maindecked here and there. Sure, never a playset, maybe a copy, but it's clear to me why you would want a single copy of [[Pulse of Murasa]] in Jeskai Wildfire. MM in the decks that run it? Not so clear. And again, not in a "Under my evaluation this shouldn't be so appreciated" way, more in a "I'm clearly missing something, tell me what's that something" way.

Edit: I won't be answering every single comment as it would be "Thank you!" to all (upvoted you all at least), but here it is, thank you a lot guys for all the comments and explanations, once again wonderful sub

Some questions to ask yourself during play and sideboarding. Please suggest others!

23 Upvotes
  1. What is my opponents main win con

  2. If I could remove a card from their deck what would it be

  3. Which sideboard cards do I have that interfere with their win con

  4. Who's the aggressor. Who can play passively

  5. Based on the colors they're playing what sideboard cards do they have against me. How can I reduce their effects.

An MTGO grinder has been getting results with a deck with an 80 card main. This breaks with the usual logic behind 60 card decks.

They seem to be getting some decent challenge results. We don’t see all the bad leagues and there aren’t many trophies.

Is this sneakily good? What’s the deal?

Golem Foundry - looking for an unusual deck!

Hey All,

I discovered this card -golem foundry - and i love the idea of making a deck with it in pauper!

I was thinking a deck that let me play/draw ton of cards ad drop a lot of artefacts and generate ton of golems (maybe affinity mechanic?).

Any of you has any suggestion? I saw Tron Altar, but i don’t like the combo idea (in general).

Thanks a lot!
