Is Guardian of the Guildpact still good enough to be maindeckable in Boros? I'm looking at my old pauper decks online and trying to get my friends to build some.

Speaking of MBC, I've been puttering around with it on Magic online and I still love it. Even if I will never get Oubliettes in paper until they are reprinted. I actually thought about pulling the trigger on them from CFB when they were 25 each, but then when I went to finally check out a couple days later they were over 40.

I ain't afraid of no Fog

Suicide Black is all about trading security for raw speed and power, so small setbacks shouldn't really disrupt the deck's tempo.

edit: also, there are 10 discard spells in the deck including 4 Duress, so fog-likes aren't really a concern

Burn? Thermo-Alchemists with Ghitu Lavarunners, try running Thunderous Wraths with Magma Jet as well? Make sure they don't hit Pulse of Murasa and you'll win.

If it can fit on a card in MTGO, it can be done in paper. Oubliette has 72 words and Animate Dead has 68, they can figure it out. I am usually a Maro defender but gently caress off.

Counterpoint, MBC sucks and Arabian Nights Oubliettes are beautiful so you'd want to get the good looking ones either way.

I had the choice to buy some yesterday and bought Ensnaring Bridges instead, am I a bad person For Mill in Modern

I also spent 15 bucks on the textless Sign in Bloods so you know I'm going all in. MBC in paper is literally my most blinged out deck in terms of foils, using all Unstable swamps, and signatures. Help me

They'd ban Prism before Tron, you know that.

I'm going to GP Taipei this weekend and they have a scheduled pauper event every day. I'm bringing several decks and will try to force people to play to make sure they fire.

I was running the list hellsau posted earlier and my loses against aggro generally came down to “drawing lots of land and filters but nothing else” instead of getting out aggroed

When most of your deck is that, it happens.

Should I switch to a snow swamp manabase and play Arcum's Astrolabe instead of something like Phyrexian Rager? It makes it painless to splash for Dimir Guildmage's ability. I want to try that sucker out.

I also talked about a week ago trying to do a podcast called Pet Decks in the main MTG thread, and want to do MBC as my first choice brought to the table. The big question first is is MBC too good to be called a "pet deck?" It has been well known and for a time was one of the better decks in the format...4-5 years ago. And with the bannings it is making a comeback.

I suspect the various grindy Astrolabe decks would take over. They can't leave Astrolabe around, it just makes the Glint Hawk/Kor Skyfisher decks dramatically more powerful by giving them an actual nut draw.

I played against a deck with a mono-black manabase, playing the 8 Prisms, 4 Hawk, 4 Fisher, and 4 Weather the Storm, 2(looked to be 2, all three games we both got down to 5-6 cards in our libraries) Guardian of the Guildpact. The win con was to gain more life than you and hit Pestilence.

Otherwise that seems reasonable.

Unbanning sinkhole would finally give MBC a chance against Tron, so I totally agree.

Do you keep getting matched with the same south american dude again and again?

There are very few people playing in the leagues for pauper, if you're always playing the same time of day you'll probably play alot of the same people. If you do two leagues in a row there is a good chance I'll play at least the same person in both.
