So my Esper tempo/control deck was fun, but the better I made it the more it became the Esper version of Jeskai control, so I brewed up Abzan Walkers/Midrange. Originally I was going to be more B/W with a splash of green, but the white ended up being more of the splash. I'm worried about Torrential Gearhulk decks, so if any one has suggestions other than play blue let me know. An other way of taking this deck would be -2 Flaying Tendrils -3 Painful truths -3 Trasverse the Ulvenwald / +4 Glint-sleeve Siphoner +4 Attune with Aether Win Cons = 15 4- Sylvan Advocate 3- Tireless Tracker 2- Gideon 2- Lili 1- Gonti 1- Sorin 1- Ob 1- Nissa, Vital Force Instant/ Sorceries = 19 4- Fatal Push 4- Grasp of Darkness 2- Anguished Unmaking 2- Ruinous Path 2- Flaying Tendrils (I would appreciate opinions on this; it seems great against Mardu, and kind of bad against B/G) 2- Fumigate 3- Painful Truths (I'm thinking about cutting 1 of these down so I don't bolt my face 5 times. I would probably replace with a Kalitas, but part of me says Ajani) 3- Transverse the Ulvenwald Lands = 23 4 - Forest 3 Swamp 2 - Plains 2 - Evolving Wilds 3- Shambling Vent 3- Hissing Quagmire 4 - Blooming Marsh 2- Concealed Courtyard Sideboard 4- Transgress the mind 2- Pick the brain 2- Yaheeni's Expertise 2- Kalitas 1- Appetite for Unnatural 1- Natural State 1- Kambal Edit: So far I have played two games online. One was against the B/G aggro with snake, catacomb sifter, and sylvan advocates. Game one I got my poo poo pushed in, but games two and three I was able to outdraw him by 1-2 cards a turn. The other game was against U/R Fevered-Emerge, which was almost close when he chained deep-fiends on me, but I was able to go wide. Have not played against heavy control yet.

My Friday Night Magic group is setting up a Pauper Modern tournament. I was thinking of setting up an Aggro/Control deck for this, but I've never actually made a deck proper before, because I am super new and only have done drafting. Does anyone have any ideas or websites? I really just need to find a list, because the store it's at has a poo poo ton of singles for cheap.

The correct deck to play is mono-blue Delver or mono-green Stompy. If you want a list for control, you can find lists here. There's a good UB control list on the most recent page.

Today I learned being a Cabal grave robber is apparently a difficult job.   I love finding these hidden little bits in old cards. Anyone know of any others, like how Rem Karolus is insanely good at killing things on Innistrad?

Are they using the online ban list for Pauper? If no ban list then you play affinity or blue delver.

Last time my store had a pauper tournament I ran wild on other decks with Acid trip, it was incredible. Beat U/B teachings, tron, affinity, slivers, and izzet blitz. bounce ya permanents, gian life, make opponent sac things, momentary blink your mulldrifters woooo. I just finished putting Mono black control together, and I honestly don't care if it's bad or not, I bought these oubliettes and I am going to loving jam them on literally everybody because I have pauper swag. *air horn sound* I mean I also have pauper elves, goblins, and izzet blitz made, but it's pauper. Play the decks that sound dumb and fun because they're valid archetypes.

You discard artifact lands to Wrench Mind, or more likely you get blown out by someone siding in Gorilla Shaman. It is a bad plan.

Anyone else going to GP Orlando? Not registered yet, I'm not sure what I want to do. They changed the Friday events to all 4-round challenges that also double as GPTs that award byes. I might just do a 1-day infinite challenge Friday, then if I win byes do the main event. If I don't win, do infinite challenge for the other two days as well. Comes out to $20 more, but offers more flexibility. Wish they'd left the Friday events as fire-on-demand pods

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Seems awfully narrow for a one-off but the deck also runs nourish in the board so gaining life is a thing it has to do, apparently. There's a lot of lightning bolt decks in pauper, and turbo-fog is a deck that's often stabilizing at a very low life total. Plus burn is a thing, it's a small part of the metagame but sideboard hate is really weak and burn attacks you at an angle that decks aren't used to interacting on. TheKingofSprings posted:Who is going to board Gorilla Shaman for one land? Decks will sometimes run playsets of artifact lands for some marginal upside, I could see a player seeing an artifact land g1 and overreacting to try and punish it. You're right that they shouldn't do it though, I run 3 artifact lands to fetch with trinket mage in my b/u deck and love seeing aggro decks bringing in hate cards game 2.

I won a game of legacy today by flashing a Swords to Plowshares back on a Sire of Insanity. With Torrential Gearhulk. I had a Jace in play and he had to use 2 Lotus Petals to cast the Sire so it didn't really matter but ehhhh, I'm gonna say it counts.

Hellsau mentioned getting blown out by gorilla shaman as being a potential downside, but it's actually not because your opponent bringing in gorilla shaman is actually (on average) good for you. Yeah having exactly one artifact land to discard to Wrench Mind or enchant with Quiet Disrepair is fine, assuming have enough basics to get with Ash Barrens and Evolving Wilds. Back when Drake was around, I played against the UG Turbofog deck and at the time it ran a full set of Seat of the Synods plus some Tree of the Tales, because Wrench Mind was an actual dangerous card for the strategy and it ran the Quiet Disrepairs in the maindeck because Affinity was everywhere. Unfortunately, Affinity was everywhere, so anyone that could afford the 20 tickets for Gorilla Shamans had them in the sideboard. Eating three lands for 3R and getting a 1/1 is pretty backbreaking, since the Turbofog deck absolutely needed to maintain a mana advantage to be able to keep a Jace's Erasure in play against Drake while not dying to the combo. Ash Barrens is so great with Brainstorm which you're running anyway for the synergies with the Erasures that it seems much better to switch over to those instead of the corner cases with the artifact lands, so good call more recent Turbofog player.
