Title: Pauper suggestions!
Post by: toastani on June 19, 2015, 07:54:50 PM
okay, so my LGS is having a pauper tournament coming up, and I want to bring a red or red/blue deck based around Goblin Gaveleer. Wondering about any cheap and awesome artifacts to put out there!!

{Bonesaw} and {Cranial Plating} seem pretty good.

Cranial plating is banned in pauper.

The chimera that gets +1/+0 for each instant and sorcery you have in your grave yard is solid

It's a 3 drop for a 1/3 flying and trample.
{Spellheart Chimera}.

Bees lowest rarity is uncommon, making them legal for peasant. But still not pauper legal

Uncommon. Not legal.

{Deprive}, {Logic Knot}, {Cancel} sound like a fun base for control. There's {Oblivion Ring} and {Murder} for some solid catch alls. My problem is I can't come up with any decent finishers...'

I still think mono black devotion might be your best bet.

No no no mono green infect .... The best pauper deck I've seen ... Also could go the r/g infect for blood rush it's hilarious

I think you guys are missing that pauper is 100% common. No EDH at this tourney. More artifact suggestions anyone? Good burn?

{Ornithopter}, {Bone Splitter}.
Title: Re: Pauper suggestions!
Post by: Kaylesh on June 22, 2015, 04:35:05 PM
Could go {ornithopter}, {midnight guard}, {golem foundry}, {retraction helix} and some common scry to fetch the pieces.

{delver of secrets}
{mana leak}
{lightning bolt}
{cancel}
{essence backlash}
Etc.

Control sounds really good.

If you are playing control there are the cards that suck all the fun out of the game

{Cloud of faeries}
{Mulldrifter}
{Spellstutter sprite}

Seriously if i am playing mtgo in a non competitive match and see any of those cards I just concede and move on to the next match. But they are great cards for a blue control deck in pauper.

My pauper deck is GW Slivers

{foul-tongue shriek}. This card is pretty amazing with some token nonsense going on
