There's not a lot of removal that deals with it either. Edicts obviously but other than that it's like, Terminate and Recoil kinda sometimes. Of course it's still just a 4 mana 2/3 that's hard to interact with.

Of course it's still just a 4 mana 2/3 that's hard to interact with. True, but there's at least something to be said for a 2/3 that can block almost anything without issue and can attack through almost anything without issue too. I dunno if it's the right choice for Boros, but it may have a very welcome home in decks with pump spells.

I dunno if it's the right choice for Boros, but it may have a very welcome home in decks with pump spells. Those pump spells would have to be multicolored as well. It can block almost anything. That doesn't fly (Boros/Jeskai/Delver). And isn't unblockable or have shadow (Izzet Blitz). Or multicolored (Boggles). It's an okay blocker against Elves until they overwhelm with the swarm and/or pump an unblocked dude for lethal. If Boggles geared up Gladecover then it is likely GG. But in the end, it just doesn't do enough. And it was one of my first pet cards.

You only want to play Guardian of the Guildpact as a poor sideboard option, or if it advances your main gameplan. It'd be fine in Pestilence decks as a good roadblock that ignores your Pestilence damage, but if your white weenie deck slams its fourth land down and throws a 2/3 onto the battlefield you're probably going to lose.

Good points. Seems like sideboard material at best. I'll probably pass, especially in Boros.

Oof. Nothing like going 1-2 at your LGS to remind you how out of practice you are. I played Boros Monarch, which I'm strongly considering switching to Kuldotha Boros... maybe. Monarch just didn't do much against what I faced. 1-0-1 vs. some kind of slow Golgari Toolbox deck-- we only managed to get 2 games in before time was up. The first game was hilarious though. I had 3 life and he had 7, and he tried to kill me off with Crypt Rats for 3. I responded with Galvanic Blast for 4, bringing him down to 3 as well, so we died at the same time. Fun times.  1-2-0 vs. Mono-Blue Delver. I always got close to running him out of counterspells, but Stormbound Geists just ruined my day and I never managed to pull anything I needed to get rid of them. 1-2-0 vs. Golgari Aristocrats. Very clever deck; I kind of want to build it. Either way: Boros Monarch is probably way too drat slow for what I had to face.

PJOmega posted:I'm guessing Golgari Toolbox was Tortured Existence? The most infuriating deck. Somehow they always have a copy of the card that makes their deck halfway playable in their 7. The only exception is if you have a Duress, then they have 2 or 0 and it's their top card.

Matsuri posted:I see a handful of decks run it on decklists. Not sure how I feel about it personally. Looking at the meta, I don't see TOO many multicolored/colorless creatures and spells. Maybe it's good? It's definitely great at it's job of not dying or being blocked by anything, the real weakness is that it's just a 4 mana 2/3 against a lot of decks that don't care about interating with thing that slow

That's what I had expected, but Tortured Existence never showed up. He did use a healthy amount of recursion with Pulse of Murasa though.

I found the decklist the guy who was playing that Golgari Aristocrats deck used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eOh8j1Z6AU https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/468851#online It's... actually pretty sweet. And cheap too, I wanna build it. Though the guy I faced tweaked it a little, he had Gurmag Angler in it, which he used to attack for 5 with, then use Rites of Consumption on as a finisher. Pretty cool. EDIT: This Azorius multicolored-matters deck seems pretty sweet. How bad of an idea is it to build it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd1sGz-K0KM Framboise fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jan 30, 2018 |

Building a set of loaner decks for local pauper nights. Does Stompy really not run any Bonesplitters or Garruk's Companions?

Garruk's Companion is very outdated, especially since all the Stompy decks moved to Burning-Tree Emissary-fueled swarm decks.

I've been looking at MTGGoldfish lists and seeing what appeals to me and won't break the bank, and I think I'm leaning toward something around this UB Angler/control deck: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/pauper-ub-40728#paper or this Izzet spells decks: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/pauper-izzet-blitz#paper The former is cheaper and for whatever reason the graveyard element appeals to me, but I'm not sure how tricky it would be to play. The latter seems cool too, and while it's more expensive, it includes staples I see across a lot of decks. Edit: Bad clipboard management.

that angler lists seems bad. i know there's not much that kills an angler but that's very few win conditions and very few ways to protect them possibly the only list i've seen where augur works though

Vital Signs posted:What decks have you played in other formats? Also, you used the UB link twice. I am also deciding between these two and I think Ill go with an Izzet variant. I haven't really played enough constructed to give a particularly meaningful answer. I've been playing RG pummeler this standard, which I guess is kind of an aggro-combo.

If you enjoy Pummeler, Stompy might be your bag. It's strictly more aggro than combo, but it has fun tricks and is widely considered the best "pure" aggro deck in the format. Here's a list that 5-0'd a league online earlier today. It's also worth noting that the money cards (Quirion Ranger, Nettle Sentinel) also find their home in Elves, so buying them would give you a head start on that deck too.

Part of me always wants to say "run Mana Tithe" because Force Spike in white is something no one ever sees coming, but I myself don't even do that, and with Tron in the meta it kind of feels like a wasted SB slot.

The only out Elves has to a active flicker Dignitary is a side boarded Mob Justice if they're still running Birchlore Rangers. And that requires 20+ elves on the field. Save your removal for their Huntmasters and they aren't getting there.
