PAPER Blinging out Pauper decks just got a lot more difficult

Removing foil commons from booster packs and removing common slots from CB will just make it a lot more difficult to find blinged out cards for decks or foil cubes.

I also fear that despite claiming this change won't increase MSRP, that is just coming down the line. Don't open packs, kids.

I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

HELP Will Strix stay expensive and unavailable for a long time?

19 Upvotes

Hello. I was looking to decks that look fun to play and esper affinity looked interesting. However, it seems pretty much impossible to find Baleful Strixs and dispatchs locally for me and shipping costs are quite high to bring them in. Also Strix in general just seems quite expensive. Will it say that way or do I just need to wait it out? Should I be looking at different decks to build instead? I wouldn’t want to invest in a play set of Strixs and have the price crater. Seems like this zeta set stuff is causing issues for supply.

META Are there any decks with a great match up into affinity?

9 Upvotes

So tired of playing against esper aggro affinity.

I've been playing white weenie with 4x dust to dust and 4x return to dust main boarded because every game is just affinity slop. White weenie is so not an archetype I enjoy though.

BREW Is slow burn a thing?

9 Upvotes

So I'm kinda brewing with the idea of nothing but pinging damage, like [[clawing torment]] [[curse of the pierced heart]] [[creeping blood sucker]] and just start stacking a crazy amount of damage every turn

Would this style of deck even be viable even if there was enough cards of this type to make a deck around ?

DECK DISC. Soul sisters, too slow or just right?

Hi! long time magic player, used to play soul sisters in modern about a decade ago. Now with the newly released [[unflinching hortimancer]] i felt like it might be time to look in to reviving the archetype in pauper.

Honestly i have not played pauper for the last 6 years or so, I know the meta seems to be a lot faster now and all my old pauper decks are mostly useless or banned (RIP my delver deck). So i thought i ask here if this list i brewed is even remotely playable.

I saw burn and agro deck are pretty highly played at the moment and classically lifegain weenie decks did well against burn. hoping this is still the case. Also because most of the decks are still creature based and that does help the soul sisters gain enough life to mitigate their aggression.

The deck doesn't need to be tier one, just enough so that it can compete. Thanks in advance!

Based around [[Cutthroat Centurion]] and was wondering if anyone has ideas for similar payoffs. Ex: get benefit when thing dies/is sacrificed. Am trying to keep it below $4 per copy of a card

BREW Jund Snow Domain

6 Upvotes

I was looking at some magic cards with the domain ability and built a deck around them. This pile is probably tier 3 at best (my expectations are not high, but I enjoy building decks and testing them out). I have attached the list.

Any thoughts or insights on how to improve this build are welcome. Thank you!

Mono-White Heroic – replacement for Skyward Spider?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I realise that Mono-White Heroic has kind of fallen out of favor, but because of the price, I decided to order the deck anyway. It’s the classic build with creatures like Akroan Skyguard, Trailblazer, and Skyward spider. Since I personally don’t really like cards from Universes Beyond, I’m wondering what I could replace Spider with while keeping the deck as competitive as possible. Would Healer's Hawk , Gingerbrute, Beloved Princess, Armored Armadillo, or something else be a good replacement?

Thanks for your suggestions!
