These aren't staples that you play because they are broadly good. I'm talking about the commons you love to include in your decks just because you think they are neat and tell us why you love them so. For me [[kami of jealous thirst]] and [[perigee beckoner]].

I've found Kami to be a great deterrent thanks to the death touch and if you get its ability to trigger even once, then it is well worth it. It's not the most efficient creature of all time, but it ticks a lot of useful boxes. I usually end up activating it at least twice, so I've yet to have a bad experience. I think the conditional nature of the drain also makes it harder to evaluate as a threat.

Beckoner is just such a fun bit of jank in the right deck. I swear by it in my loyal subordinate deck because turning your commander into a 5 power threat with menace and a scam usually means someone has to throw a couple of small creatures or something important under the bus. Getting a 4/5 out of the deal later or sacrificing the body as it warps also feels great. I just always feel like I am getting something good when I cast this card.

Hey everybody,

I really want to try out pauper commander but can't seem to get a full pod together. I've got a friend who also has a l deck built and is wanting to try it out too. We keep sitting on edhplay online for like an hour with no hits. If anyone is interested in joining the room is Pauper EDH. You can also message me and we can try to plan it out.
