Title: Pauper EDH
Post by: Moneekahh on August 02, 2013, 06:29:55 PM
Anyone heard of this "Pauper Commander"? It's where your commander is an uncommon creature and your deck must be all common cards. My brother told me about it. I am going to make a deck. Seems like a neat way to utilize unused cards sitting around the house. I'm thinking my commander will be either {Bloodbraid Elf}, {Baleful Strix}, or one of the guildmages. Does anyone have a Pauper EDH? If so, who is your general? If you don't have one, who would you build?

It's pretty fun actually. My friends and I play different variations. One is: Only your general can be rare/mythic & the rest must be common & uncommon. The second is: You can have as many colors as you want in your deck, but your general HAS to be a mono color (that one is hilarious because sometimes it's difficult to get your general out of the command zone).

The Pauper to the People guys are always talking about pauper EDH. If I made one (may eventually if I can convince some people to do it with me,) I'll go with {Diregraf Captain} for my captain. Mainly for the buff, and if I wanted to play .politics..

Ya our play group also does the non legendary Rare general with a common and uncommon deck.  A lot of fun, that mono green Birds of Paradise general ftw

I'm working on a deck with  {Dryad Arbor} as the commander. All 1 drop green spells and no other lands. I play my general as my land drop and i don't need to worry about additional cost to cast him because he's just a land

Can't quote, not sure what's going on. But are you sure the additional mana cost rule wouldn't apply to {Dryad Arbor}?

Well Noah and I made decks and played. I chose {Bloodbraid Elf} and he chose {Bronzebeak Moa} as commanders. It's a really fun way to play I highly recommend everyone make one! :)

The general has to be uncommon? It can't be a common?
