A 2/3 flyer can kill you in that deck shell. Spire Golem has been one of the best creatures in mxu decks in pauper for a long time and they're actually easier to kill with sideboard cards than a 2/3 cloud of faeries is.

I mean when it hits 180 I'll get the colored/colorless symbols, and I guess we'll figure it out past then. People seem to want numbers, but I can support 1-9 & tap or something like that. Idk personally I think hybrids are cooler but I'm only contributing one emote's worth anyway v:shobon:v


e; none of this happens till yall fill that tip jar though!

I appreciate the introduction to Pauper as I don't play it myself (I mean this sincerely) but with all the direct comparisons (including my own) to Twin, it sounds like you've got about 4-5 years of it being the dominant deck before they ban it.

I had to mail back a playset of Descend upon the Sinful to fulfill an eBay dispute in order to get a refund. I was supposed to get a playset of Declaration in Stone, but the seller hosed up and sent me the wrong cards. After hearing back from them on the last day they could before I could request a refund, I asked for tracking information when the seller said they'd send me the correct cards, but heard nothing from the seller and moved forward with eBay for a refund. I just got the playset of Declarations in the mail today after eBay refunded me. I dunno if I should tell the guy that I was refunded or if I should just keep them.

It's just really difficult to deal with Splinter Twin combo in an all commons format, where all the pieces of the combo also happen to be good cards.

This is the big killer here. Drake, even without going into an infinite combo, is a pretty reasonable card. A 2/3 flyer is a very solid body in Pauper and turn 5 Drake > Mulldrifer is a hell of a line in a deck that can also cast Ghostly Flicker for value. The only combo piece that's individually pretty bad is Mnemonic Wall.

Compare this to something like the old Familiars decks, where the combo involved more pieces and a bunch of them were useless 1/1 bodies with a line of text stapled to them that did basically nothing until you had everything assembled, and then remember that even that was format warping to the point of warranting a ban.

Really the right thing to do is tell them you got the refund.

Usually when someone poses an ethical question like that, they actually know what the right thing to do is and are just looking for someone to provide them an acceptable reason not to.

Nah. I already bought another set of Declaration in Stone because I needed them when the original shipment came in. I don't need eight copies of the card.

i like chandra but the rest im real eh on

completely unrelated, there's a cool bug on mtgo where random cards get random Guild symbols, which in turn gives those cards a gold frame

it doesn't affect gameplay it seems but it's funny to me

The Photoshop Filter -> Render -> Clouds backgrounds really detract from the art and makes it look like they rush-ordered the art in time for the convention.
