If I wanted to put together a handful of decks to smash into each other, what would a good spread of interesting archetypes be?

Hellsau posted:If you've got a good LGS you can probably make up some lists and pick all the cards up for like $100. I want to throw Burn together, but Chain Lightnings, Rift Bolts and Lava Spikes are all multiple dollars at my LGS. Which is Card Kingdom. But yeah, that was my plan.

Wait, I just looked at that third picture. There's a Pauper Oops All Spells?! I need a list for that and Song of the Damned.

Falkenrath Noble, Grixis Slavedriver and Dinrova Horror seem pretty exciting. Am I underrating T Wrath? Edit: Scorched Rusalka also seems pretty relevant at common? Some Numbers fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Granted, 5 is a huge number for R, but in Burn you're never hardcasting it and you can't set it up. It seems great for an Izzet deck though.

Fair enough! I'm willing to believe it's pretty great. What would you say is the ideal Burn list at this point?

Could Spike Jester, along with Jund Hackblade and Rakdos Shred-Freak work as a core to a BR aggro deck?

PJOmega posted:Rules question, since I hate miracle triggers. I have no idea how the first interaction works, but the second one definitely doesn't. Miracle is only the first card you draw, so they'd pass the turn and then Needle Drop you to Miracle it. I wasn't sure how much I liked Needle Drop, but it makes Wrath more palatable, so maybe it's still worth the slot.

A million years ago, my friend and I used to make similar lines with cycling lands in Prismastic.

Voyager I posted:That's regular teachings (with maybe a single copy of Capsize and Curse of the Bloody Tome as well). I was figuring the point of the extra 30 cards was so you could just dispense entirely with petty things like 'win conditions' and just rely on having a thicker library than your opponent. I think you can also Capsize everything and hit them with Dinrova Horrors probably? Oh nevermind, that build runs no creatures. Interesting.

Tron is kind of control? Part of the issue is that there aren't very many Wraths at common, so you have to run a lot of spot removal. You could try Monoblack, since it gets to run Pestilence?

I did find an Abzan Enchantment Control deck that grinds out games with lifegain and Pestilence and I'm considering putting that together.

I don't know that Wizards cares about Pauper because rares sell packs (which is why duals are still rare), but if they did, reprinting Chainer's Edict, Ash Barrens, Gush and a few other cards would go a long way.

So, bouncelands aren't actually that complicated. You generally want to spend mana and then play the bounceland to return a basic, but you can also return a Dismal Backwater or Radiant Fountain which will gain you more life. Another sweet play that this deck doesn't have access to is tapping a cycling land for mana, playing a bounceland, returning the cycling land and then cycling it. Works really well with Ash Barrens.

The only common instants that target a player to draw are Inspiration and its Surge clone and Oona's Grace. Oona's Grace might not actually be that bad. You could also run a Vision Charm, which is U, Instant, Mill 4.

Especially in this case, since Mental Note literally can't target the opponent.

So as the  over the Ash Barrens spoiler begins to fade, I'm left with some big questions: how low do we expect the card to drop and when I should I jump on them to get the 12ish I want to get?

Ash Barrens is not necessary in mono blue Delver (especially if you're running Spire Golem). The UR Delver decks run it to 1) get their Mountain and 2) as a shuffle effect for Brainstorm. The BG deck might get some value out of Barrens, but it's hard to say without seeing the manabase. Barrens is at its best in three color decks or decks with a light splash and (imo) is generally better than Terramorphic/Evolving Wilds, especially if you have bouncelands.

Hellsau posted:Get as many as you need at $1. Mishra's Bauble went from $20-30 to $4.50. Ash Barrens has much lower demand and starts from $8, so hopefully it'll go pretty low. quote:There's a chance that A25 is undraftable garbage with little value and doesn't get opened much but we'll see.

Yeah, basically the only interesting things are the reprints of Nettle Sentinel and Ash Barrens. Incidentally, Hellsau, I was looking back through the thread for decks to put together and found this cute deck. What changes would you suggest to bring this deck current? quote:4 Brainstorm

The Shortest Path posted:Does anyone happen to know what's up with the card Predatory Hunger? The Exodus set symbol on it appears to be a silver uncommon symbol but every card database I can find lists it as being common and legal for pauper, despite having no other printings. It's actually a black symbol. Check out the Keeper cycle and you'll see what the Exodus uncommon symbol looks like.
