What are you playing and what's your MTGO name?!

I can do Thursday evening (provided my internet in my new house is hooked up correctly on Wednesday), how does 8PM eastern sound?

I broke down and bought a pair of Oubliettes when I found some sub $14 and also got a grip of Chainer's Edict before the buyout. Does one of you fine goons have a Mono Black Control list featuring Hymn to Tourach? This is for a paper event where the TO refused to ban Hymn and Goblin Grenade. Loaning a buddy goblins and I want to Hymn fools, but I don't know really what to cut for it. Thanks in advance!

If Goblin Grenade is legal, I suggest going with a deck with 4 Hymn, 4 Witches, 4 Crypt Rats and 4 Tendrils of Corruption, and a bunch of swamps. Hymn is insanely powerful, far more powerful than anything else in Pauper, but doesn't really fit in with the 2-for-1 creature theme of the current MTGO MBC decks. If Goblin Grenade exists, you should move away from too many edicts, and switch to more targeted removal.

I could see sorin's thirst being a possibility depending on the meta. I'd be tempted to go with pestilence over rats because of the constant threat of grenade. With Hymn I'd think about running 2 in the main 2 in the board maybe swapping out a piece of removal or not running an unearth package. It definitely trends more towards a faster deck. At minimum just replace any wrench minds with hymns obviously.

I got it 2/1. Game 1 Compulsive Research decked him, game 2 I got Delved to death, and game 3 he timed out with no board and a hand of lands. I kinda wish I'd lost so I could play a different deck; this one is friggin' miserable. :v:

Goblin Grenade is a Sorcery, and if you are getting to five mana (Pestilence plus at least one activation) you're probably going to beat Goblins assuming you can dig yourself out of the Death Spark hole. Hymn is not a card you only run 2 of - for two mana you get an easy two for one, with the random chance of screwing your opponent. Hymn is basically the perfect two-mana play for MBC - you put the opponent down resources for little mana investment and can then cast your sweet 3 drop creatures or some removal to put them further behind, or to start to stabilize.

Is there anything worth playing Dark Ritual for in Pauper?

At one point I tried to make Black Aggro work, and could not beat a reasonable Delver draw and could never beat MBC or Burn. Dark Ritual is fine if you can get some sort of combo working, but there's no Hippie or Necro to ramp out.

You really didnt have a choice at that point I guess, but knowing your hand I should have just jammed the Angler since it blanked both those spells.

I don't care about the punctuation you use to separate the number. I care about not saying "I lost 2/1" because then I see 2/1 and my idiot brain tells me you won 2/1 because that's what 2/1 means and everything gets all screwed up!
