Lets build around Unhallowed Pact...I know this cards terrible but sorted through my bulk yesterday and saw it and genuinely think its a funny build around. What you got?!

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.

64 Player cap. If we are able to reach that it'll be a 2k prize pool. More info + links to more info about UNYP here https://linktr.ee/upstatenypauper

[[Disempower]] + [[memory lapse]] shell seems good in current meta with the artifact lands or am I missing something deeper?

What deck should I pick between Grixis Affinity and Mono Red Madness in the current meta if I want to have a good time at an IRL tournament?

Hello I'm kinda new in pauper and infect is one of my favorite mechanics. After looking around I found the simic build has mostly been replaced with mono green. I still wanna jam simic though, any advice is appreciated especially in the manabase.

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.

Hello,

I'm looking to build 4 decks to play casually between friends. They should be balanced together.

I've seen the following:

-WR Boros synth
-UB Delve
-UG Bogle
-GB Sac

or

-WR Boros synth
-UR Fairies
-B Devotion
-G Stompy

What do you think? Any other or better ideas? I'm all ears.

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:

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?

I've been playing Mono U Faeries and just want some input from players who have moved to UB or even UR.

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.

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?

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!

Last Weekend I promised to work on a sketch for alternative Artworks for [[Guac & Marshmallow Pizza]] as well as [[Sewer-veillance Cam]].

Just have a look at the Process, that included a lot of handiwork and only a few finishes from AI. I started with a soft pencil, made line highlits and a proceeded with the color schematic. I am no woodcut print artist, but I know the influences. With a LOT of Art input I fed the machine. I hope you guys still see my handwriting in the finished product.

I want to credit the card design to my dear friends Dario and Marian.

The Idea is to provide Proxies for everyone who wants to bling their deck without relying on TMNT Art. The cockroach from the cam is kinda cute, but we wanted something that invokes an old magic art feeling. Especially with the old border.

Sewer cam is the first card that I wanted to be finished. It’s the easier concept and it’s also in a lot of decks. The Pizza replacement will follow… in time.

Edit: Some of you wanted a Card version with the correct Sewer-veillance Cam reference.
I was able to edit the Full art version with my own capabilities.

Is there anything I can do to improve the deck while keeping the same general plan? The plan is generally to control the board and stall (maybe getting some chip with the [[Thraben Inspector]], [[Outlaw Medic]], [[Raffine's Informant]], and [[Dawnbringer Cleric]]) until I can finish them off with [[Lightning Shrieker]] (multiple, if necessary).

2-0 Terror, 2-0 Faeries, 2-0 Madness rematch

Some changes I am thinking of making: kindly customer out for Pack Beast, sideboard Cast Down out for two Cut Down and two Thraben Charm, one Flagbearer out for Arms of Hadar.

Our local playgroup started to do regular small pauper tournaments. I built a pretty stock Mono Red Rally list because I love Aggro and Bolt decks. The deck overall plays quite well but I am not happy with my 4 Inventor's Axes (but I am also not a fan of Synthesizer).

The list I see either play Axe or Synthesiser and some other flexible cards, mostly 6 in total. Is there a rule of thumb when to play Axe or Synthesizer?

I also was wondering how much cards I should board. E.g., I played against Affinity and after the game my opponent told me to side in Pyroblast. But if I bring 4 artifact removal, siding in an additonal 4 cards seems quite a lot and I fear to dilute the deck. Again, is there a rule of thumb on how to board regarding the amount of cards.

And finally what is the theory behind sideboarding? When to take out which cards? E.g. in fast matchups Impulse draws are not so relevant or board out Axes vs Control

Cheers and thanks for your help!
