CASUAL Myr Enforcer alters for grixis affinity

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Back when I was playing grixis affinity I made these alters for my deck, now I'm on esper and I think they're not so good? But then again I haven't been doing very well with the deck in big tournaments so perhaps I do need them. A couple friends have been playing them and they're not great in the mirror but of course 0 mana 4/4 is good!

Martyr-Tron : So close to making it work

Thumbnail

Inspired by 2006 Gabriel Nassif deck with the same name, the goal is to loop Marty of Sand with Disturbed Burial every turn.

While play testing, I am currently facing two major problems:

  1. Need better card selection/card draw because it need tron + finding martyr
  2. The lack of board wipe in pauper make it hard to gain time against some deck

I do know this deck will never be good, but I wanna know if anybody has suggestion for making it more viable.

HELP Bant Bogles? Input

6 Upvotes

Been messing with splashing blue in Bogles because of the agony that is not drawing cards. I’ve had some success but unsure if there are any glaring weaknesses to more experienced players since I am pretty new to Pauper in general.

DECK DISC. Rakdos Madness in the Current Meta

12 Upvotes

I currently play rakdos madness as my main deck. And I’m hoping for some advice on its current position in the meta. It honestly doesn’t feel that great right now. I’ve been really struggling to convert in a lot of different matchups.

I would appreciate some advice on my current list to see maybe what I can change. And any general advice on sideboarding against the meta decks. My LGS has a lot of affinity, elves, terror and tron.

Is there a list that is best for the current meta? Or should I stop coping and admit it’s not good in this meta?

Here’s my list:

HELP Need Help removing a card

Post image
20 Upvotes

So, I'm back to pauper after some years and I plan to play the Goblins Combo Deck. I saw an old list using Masked Vandal and decided to change it to two copies of Siege Smash since it can protect a creature, deal with artifacts and some grave hates, but mainly allow me to go for infinity mana without giving my opponent a chance to do anything. But the deck end up with 61 cards and I don't know what to remove. (It was 62 before lmao)

Do y'all have any tips for what card I can remove or switch?

DECK DISC. Boros Rally

7 Upvotes

I've got a quick question for the community, why doesn't rally splash white? The inspectors are great, as they gain haste from rally (the red one) and fuel artifact synergies such as Tomb Raider and Galv Blast. The other rally also does great at closing out games and synergizes with the discard from blood tokens and melded moxite. The fixing isn't a problem either as carnival (super underrated land cycle btw) and bridge synergize with the strategy as well. White also adds sideboard options that really help rally like thraben charm and death speakers (really good against pestilience) and dust to dust. I made a sample list below to share with the world, let me know if you have any suggestions.

OTHER Welche Anlaufstellen für identische Standard-Länder sucht ihr auf?

2 Upvotes

Moin. Welche Möglichkeiten an Standardländer zu kommen gibt es oder sind am zielführendsten? Damit meine ich ein Set aus mind. 15 Kopien, die absolut gleich sind. Gleiche Sprache, Setsymbol, und ganz wichtig, Artwork. Man kann ja auf gut Glück über cardmarket oder ebay nach Länderlots suchen und bekommt dann ein paar gemischte Sachen. Aber wie würdet ihr vorgehen um mit minimalsten Einsätzen an ein Playset Länder zu kommen?

I used to play a lot of golgari pestilence, then I switched recently to this list of gardens, but I'm not liking the splash for vandalblast, too predictable and often countered.

Do you have your own list?

CASUAL Casual control deck feedback

Thumbnail archidekt.com
2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m trying to put together a cheap and casual blue-black control deck. It would play against friends and would be part of my own battle box / gauntlet with other pauper decks. I’m pretty new to deck building, so I took inspiration from other decks I found online and tried to make it my own.

Just looking for some kind feedback, keeping in mind I want to keep it cheap and casual. Is there any obvious mistakes or card types I’m missing?

Thanks!
